I've always found that a bit incestuous and wondered if that part of the scriptures has ever been controversial or discussed.

OBVIOUSLY there was no physical insemination (but thanks to all who explained that). But there was a spiritual merging between God and human to produce Christ - which WAS a physical (and spiritual) result.

I don't have a problem with anything God does

We are God's children in the Spiritual sense and not in the physical sense. It has not been controversial and not a part of any regular discussion because of the reason I gave before.

No, it didn't work that way|
What happened was that God created a human nature (with a body and a soul), and united it to the Eternal Word, who is God the Son, and that became Jesus Christ as God the Son in the flesh|
So there was no sexual activity involved in that as in the usual understood sense of the term|

Nowhere in scripture does the Bible make reference that God had sex with Mary. Yes, all of creation was created by God. Jesus was born of the Spirit, not of human methods. So as far as your "insemination" theory and the link below, you have chosen an incorrect or false truth as your basis for life.

we arent actually the children of God physically (u know what i mean) . God didn't have sex with some other woman to make us. He already made us. H e is our creator, provider. Not everyone is a child of God though. God gives us all a chance and it's still there but he isnt going to force us to take. we have to take it ourselves. God loved us and that's the reason why we're children of God

No, it would not be incestuous.
But I do have some problems if, as I was told, she was 14 or younger and I will ASK GOD about this FACE TO FACE if I ever get a chance.

Huh? The Holy Ghost miraculously impregnated a virgin. It had to be this way 'cause mans seed had been corrupted by sin. It had to be a seed brought from God. One not infected by the curse of sin.

Yes, that is a another topic that is deemed immoral, but people back in the times of the bible were to brutish and ignorant to see a problem with Mary's insemination.
Just to say, don't worry about it, good chance it never happened.

God is God, He can do anything He wants. He gives a life and He can take it away. Like it or not, but that is the way it is.

Lol!
I personally think it was something Mary made up to avoid getting stoned for having relations and not being married.
But everyone loves to believe the myth.
