Nope. I believe that Christ was conceived just like described in the New Testament.

If you don’t .... maybe your the one who’s Christianity should be in question.

Don't question my belief in an Eternal Christ, pre-existent with no beginning and no end.

That's the problem with you Mormons...that, and that BYU is the dirtiest football team I've ever seen.

I believe that Christ was conceived just like described in the New Testament.

It is claimed that Latter-day Saints believe Jesus was conceived through sexual intercourse between God the Father and Mary, and that Mary therefore was not a virgin when Jesus was born. It is also claimed that Latter-day Saints reject the "Evangelical belief" that "Christ was born of the virgin Mary, who, when the Holy Ghost came upon her, miraculously conceived the promised messiah."

Often used as evidence are a handful statements from early LDS leaders, such as Brigham Young, that directly or indirectly support this idea. However, such statements do not represent the official doctrine of the Church. The key, official doctrine of the Church is that Jesus is literally the son of God (i.e., this is not a symbolic or figurative expression), and Mary was a virgin before and after Christ's conception.  https://www.fairmormon.org/answers/Jesus_Christ/Conception

Brigham Young said, "I have never yet preached a sermon and sent it out to the children of men, that they may not call scripture." (Journal of Discourses 13:95).
