Mormon’s used to teach that God had physical relations with Mary in order to impregnate her either by insemination or otherwise.

Mormonism also taught that God had many wives and that celestial polygamy was the norm. I assumed that pointed stongly to the idea that Mary was one of God’s wives. It would be better than believing Mary was one of God’s daughters wouldn’t it?

Has the Church distanced themselves from a physical impregnation of Mary.

The church generally does not speculate on the specific how of what happened. Some things are left to the mysteries which will be revealed in the proper time. But even if a church authority did so speculate on the physical how, that is a long ways from your speculation that Mary was Christ’s spiritual mother and was one of God’s wives. The idea that one lives a mortal life more than once is contrary to church teachings.

Huh? I’ve been in a lot of LDS Churches over the years, and I’m sorry, but I never heard that comment in any of them, and my bet is you didn’t either. You may think you did, but that is a comment that is someones guess, conjecture, could believe, comparison with human existence, but absolutely not not not, in the Holy Scriptures.

What you have hypothesized is your idea, unfounded doctrine, unprovable in scripture, but put forth as mormon doctrine when it is the farthest thing from the truth. It points to a personality that seemingly has great difficulty processing what someone says in the context of thinking about doctrine, issues, principles, and facts, and what is actually true and scripturally supportable.

I would love to hear your parents and others explanation of your “research” on the family doctor. Your appearance on these threads and the apparent difficulties you have processing truth and fiction, tell me much, but hey, just consider this is from someone who wonders just where in that fertile mind of yours all this supposed Mormon doctrine is dredged up.
