Of course you are confused because it is nonsense. The bible says he and his father were sons of David but it also says his mother was a virgin so even if his father was he could not have been. Not to worry the virgin bit was evidently some mis-translation it seems that it was actually saying Mary was a maiden which in aramaic was not the same thing as a virgin

Jesus tells his apostles to baptize "in the name [notice, singular, not plural] of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" (Matt. 28:19). This is a proof-text: three distinct Persons united in the one divine name. In 2 Corinthians 13:14, Paul writes, "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all." We see this same unity of divine Persons in 1 Corinthians 12:4–11, Ephesians 4:4–6, and 1 Peter 1:2–3.

The doctrine of the Trinity is tough work.

There is one God.
Deuteronomy 6:4-5
4 Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD is one! 5 "And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.

But there are three persons within the Godhead. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. All three are mentioned at various times in the Bible, and One of the clearest about this was at the Baptism of Jesus:
Luke 3:21-22
21 Now it came about when all the people were baptized, that Jesus also was baptized, and while He was praying, heaven was opened, 22 and the Holy Spirit descended upon Him in bodily form like a dove, and a voice came out of heaven, "Thou art My beloved Son, in Thee I am well-pleased."

Jesus was the one baptized, the Holy Spirit came down in the form of a dove, and the Father spoke from Heaven blessing the work of Jesus. The doctrine of the Trinity, however, is nowhere laid out in that detailed a manner, and much of the teaching must be derived through Systematic Theology.

All three person of the Godhead are decsribed doing the same things, for example, all three had part in creation, participate in salvation, etc. They all have the attributes of God's essence, eternality, omniscience, omnipresence, omnipotency, and transcendence. But still one God.

And NO, the Father did not need to "do it" with Mary for her to concieve Jesus! lol. This was a direct miraclulous act of God, that Mary concieved Jesus though she was still a virgin.

One word of caution; you are going to get lots of replies to this question that deny everything from the virgin birth of Jesus to his Diety, to His humanity, accusing Christians of tri-thesism, and some will mock the very idea.

Do not be discouraged.
John 6:44-45 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. 45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.

I'll admit it's tough for the human mind to understand the spirit realm. Three persons in one is a stretch. In time well all understand.

The rest is a piece of cake. Jesus (the spirit) gave up His heavenly throne to be born as a human. He took a leave of absence from heaven. It was the Holy Spirit who fathered the human Jesus. Don't ask how that happened. Suffice it to say, God (any one of the trinity) is powerful enough to make anything happen. So be careful what you say.

Don't try hiding insults in your questions: Your not clever enough to pull it off.

But, for the sake of others reading this, God is ONE: One being, three persons. We can not FULLY understand the Trinity, but the scripures are pretty plain that God IS Trinity:

Jesus tells his apostles to baptize "in the name [notice, singular, not plural] of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" (Matt. 28:19). This is a proof-text: three distinct Persons united in the one divine name. In 2 Corinthians 13:14, Paul writes, "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all." We see this same unity of divine Persons in 1 Corinthians 12:4–11, Ephesians 4:4–6, and 1 Peter 1:2–3.

The Bible clearly teaches that Jesus is God (cf. John 8:58, 10:38, 14:10; Col. 2:9). It also clearly teaches that the Holy Spirit is God (cf. Acts 5:3–4, 28:25–28; 1 Cor. 2:10–13). Everyone agrees the Father is God. Yet there is only one God (Mark 12:29, 1 Cor. 8:4–6, Jas. 2:19). How can we hold all four truths except to say all three are One God?

And yes, Jesus DID say he was God. In John 8:58, when quizzed about how he has special knowledge of Abraham, Jesus replies, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I Am"—invoking and applying to himself the personal name of God—"I Am" (Ex. 3:14). His audience understood exactly what he was claiming about himself. "So they took up stones to throw at him; but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple" (John 8:59).

Also significant are passages that apply the title "the First and the Last" to Jesus. This is one of the Old Testament titles of Yahweh: "Thus says Yahweh, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, Yahweh of armies: ‘I am the First and I am the Last; besides me there is no god’" (Is. 44:6; cf. 41:4, 48:12).

God is divided into three sections through the trinity - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
God the Father divided himself into two when he allowed Mary to conceive and have Jesus, the Son. He didn't "create" himself. He only allowed himself to be human.

Jesus has always existed. He has always been. Also the Holy Spirit did not have sex with Mary. Mary was made to become pregnant with Jesus. Not through physical means.

Jesus Christ is not the son of God. He is a messenger just like Adam, Noah, Ibrahim, Moses and Mohammed. There is only one God, the almighty who does not have a son and is neither a father of any.

Jesus is the Messenger of God.
Moses came before Him, and Mohamed came after Him.
the Christians believe in the Trinity, ie, God, The Holy Ghost , and Christ. the three make one Entity .
Moslems believe in God , and in Mohamed as the Messenger of God.
they have to believe in Moses, Christ and Mohamed to complete their faith.
