As Terry (RnMomof7) will tell you, my policy is to stick to the Scriptures. The Scriptures are very forthright in declaring that Jesus is the Only Begotten Son of God the Eternal Father, referring to our life here in mortality, and the Firstborn among many brethren (Romans 8:29), referring to our life before this world was. We understand these things literally. We do not try to explain them away in a figurative sense.

Now it is true that "born" and "birth" imply a Mother as well as a Father. Birth also implies a higher manifestation of the conjugal activity by which children are conceived here. But you will notice that the Scriptures do not directly state those things, and are very modest in this area, for example, "Adam knew his wife Eve, and she conceived and bare Cain".

The process by which children come into this world is very sacred indeed. People don't generally go around talking about the way their children were conceived, or the way their parents conceived them, so if people don't bring such things up in ordinary conversation, that's good. It is sacred.
