The flesh came through the Blessed Virgin Mary. That’s why she was sinless — so that she could carry that flesh in her womb.

Jesus didn't require a sinless womb to pop out of...

Jesus appeared many times in the OT in the form of a man...Just as Angels do...

If all God wanted to do was to be God in the form of a man, Mary's presence wasn't required...God chose to become a real man, just like us...In every way...

If Jesus was not exactly like us, he could not have been tempted...

The concept, as it was, came as an unnecessary solution to a docetic-inspired problem. The idea that the human body is sinful comes from the docetic heresy that matter is evil. It is now a philosophical fossil. But all nature, following the Fall, has been subjected, as Paul said, "to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God." Mary's flesh, like that of everyone else since Adam and Eve was subject to decay (except for Jesus of whom it was said that his body did not see decay, Act 2 and 13), but it was not sinful. The creation may be in bondage to decay, but that's not a product of sin but an act of God. It was into this creation Jesus was born in order to become a part of it and to start the new creation within it by his resurrection.
