My thinking on this subject is no. I cannot imagine Jesus my Lord taking on any part of man.Heres my scripture for believing as I do.
Abraham,Sarah and Hagar : "And Sarah,Abrahams wife bare him no children; and she had a handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar. And Sarah said unto Abraham, Behold now, the Lord has restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; IT MAY BE THAT ( I ) MAY OBTAIN CHILDREN BY HER. And Abraham hearkened to the voice of Sarah " Genesis 16:1-2.
Ruth and Boaz : Ruth laid at the feet of Boaz.When he asked who she was her reply was, "I am Ruth thy handmaid".Boaz replied "Blessed be thou of the Lord". Ruth 3
Mary was as Hagar and Ruth.She was a handmaiden to the Lord.She was Blessed of the Lord as was Ruth.She was with child just as Hagar.Yet the child belonged to God.Jesus was sent only in the likeness of sinful flesh,but not in the actual flesh Romans 8:3.Had He been actual flesh He would have been sin,and not the perfect sacrifice.

"Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so (death passed upon all men), for that all have sinned" Romans 5:12.

Jesus did take on the sinful nature of man. Hebrews 2:16-18 ; and 4:15. He was tempted yet remained fauthful.

your conception seems to be that to be a handmaiden, you have to have a child by the master,
whereas a hand maiden was a servant of the female gender.
when Adam and Eve sinned, they committed spiritual suicide, and became spiritually dead, therefore having sinful flesh, whereas Jesus was born in the likeness of sinful flesh, He was not separated from God and therefore not sinful. as witnessed by John the baptist, while still in the womb, and again when he witness Jesus, while baptising at the river Jordan.
more evidence that Jesus was spiritually alive or in other words, still connected to God the Father, is when he was 12 years old and found in the temple teaching the scribe.
He said i must be about my fathers business. so even though he was a man of flesh, he did not have the sinful nature of man, that was imparted by Adams sin, or disobedience of God. He was even obedient unto the cross.

Seems like the scripture you quoted proves quite the contrary that you wish it to prove. However, as Mary birthed Jesus, Jesus himself (as a man) couldn't have laid with her. Some sort of divine intervention caused the conception of Jesus as a human being, if I remember my Christmas stories right. The Lord (as a divine being) caused the conception, not the Lord as a figure of man. So, in spite of your quoted scripture, I think you have come to the correct conclusion.

How do you whip, crown with thorns, and crucify the "likeness" of flesh?? Flesh is not sinful. It only makes us subject to temptation. That is why Jesus could be tempted, because He was flesh and blood, a man like us in ALL things BUT SIN.
