My problem with the story of the virgin birth is that in various translations "virgin" does not mean never having sex, it means "unmarried".
The interesting thing is that nearly all major religions besides Christianity also include a story of a child of God born to a pure earthly mother.

Mary was chosen as the human mother of Jesus before her birth. She was born without sin and when she was told she would have a child and His name would be Jesus, she obeyed God's Will and was impregnated by the Holy Spirit.
She was not married to Joseph at the time. And God revealed Himself to Joseph in a dream because Joseph worried that his fiance had been untrue. After God let Joseph know she had not been, they married and Jesus was born. She was a virgin when she gave birth and did not know her husband Joseph until afterwards.
Jesus could've come out from under a rock if He had wished. But He was an example to us all and was born the way all humans are. He fulfilled His earthly life and now resides with His Father in Heaven.

That doesn't cultivate faith now does it? But then on top of that, He came to earth to know what it was like to be man. All the men at that time, had come from a mother and a father. If Jesus would have come when Adam was walking the earth, then I'm sure God could have just given Him a body from the earth like He had with Adam, but Adam wasn't around when Jesus came to earth, now was he? So He had to come into the earth in the normal way, be raised the normal way, and grow to be the King. Makes sense to me.

What are you thinking really? I do not think you understand.
Began with explaining what the spirit is or what the Holy Spirit is and what Jesus was when he was with God before the world was John 17:3,5,24;
Who do you think would qualify for the position of being the savior of the world and why and what about the things of God being foolishness to most, and is it to you?
Heb.2:9,14,16;

You misunderstand redemption. If you studied the Bible instead of ridiculed it you may get answers.
Man brought sin into the world. His seed is contaminated. Man must remove sin-but his seed is contaminated. Man can not remove sin-because his seed is contaminated. Are you beginning to see it.
Jesus is a man conceived with the "WORD" of God-not contaminated. Jesus was not born in sin-but He is a man. Problem solved. Its gets much deeper-but I can/t take you there.
For your own spiritual good-do not confuse God or Christ with the Roman Catholic church..."Immaculate Deception".

Since Adam and Eve had corrupted the DNA (the memory for healing), for man to be be saved from death the perfect one came to bring back the memory. Each time we eat the bread, each time we drink the cup, the memory (DNA) returns as our eyes look up and we remember.
GENE SPLICING AND THE PERFECT ONE!
That holy quest to build upon
Began in memory seeing,
Yes, so far back, indeed to dawn,
That something in our being.
It could appear we don’t retain,
Yet all our genes keep calling.
They speak to us in strange refrain,
Their lack is most appalling.
The search began with Adam scenes,
Recall the missing link?
With faith and prayer our only means,
We then begin to think!
It’s when to Christ in faith we look,
The link, the memory,
How to regain (it’s in The Book)
The link which makes us Free,
The Son of God! The Perfect One!
In Christ the memory of
That piece of chain, His only son,
To makes us whole, HIS LOVE !
A wandering through the desert
In search of ancient genes
Our minds go back to Adam
To know just what it means.
We knew not what was missing
Until the light above
Brought back into the memory
That missing gene of love.
Wandering through the desert
To know just what was cut
Our thoughts review the garden
Our memories were there, but
We knew not what was missing
Until our God above
His son for us he offered
To heal our lack of love.
Each time we eat the bread
Each time we drink the cup
The memory heals that breach within
As eyes are looking up
The cross is grafted on our minds
Resounds the power within
Healing breaks of consciousness
Forgotten is the sin.

Correction....Immacualate Conception..GOD didn't have sex with Mary, HE placed the seed in her womb. She was impregnated without sexual contact. Jesus is not the "Child of GOD and Mary" either. In Genesis, GOD says, "Let US make man in OUR image." The GOD We serve is a triune spirit...The Father~GOD, The Son~Jesus, The Holy Ghost~The Comforter....lets get it right....When HE said in OUR image, Jesus was already there...HE is the Physical...flesh manifestation of GOD. Immaculate....PERFECT
Be Blessed

Well I belive the penalty for adultry back then was stoning to death. So face with a choice of her husband tossing rocks at her or claiming god had his way with her, Mary made a simple choice. Ummmm, no I didn't cheat, god thought I was really cute. Really honey, it was god.

Jesus had to become flesh like you and me to experience life and temptations as we are tempted. While in the flesh Jesus had limitations like we did. He suffered colds, toothaches, stomachaches, heartaches, lonliness, temptations just like us. Yet he never gave in to sin.

If you are going to ask a question about Christianity, I strongly suggest you do it here with respect. I won't justify this so-called question with an answer.
