This is like Christmas 101.

Mt 1:20 But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.

Lu 2:21 - On the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise him, he was named Jesus, the name the angel had given him before he had been conceived.

There was a conception.

To say otherwise is to make up your own story because you don't like the way the original was written.

Yes it is. Except that, apparently unbeknownst to thee, Mt 1:20 and Luk 2:21 use different words translated in English as one word "conceive."

The Church has always taught that the Word became incarnate, by taking the flesh of Mary in her womb, and became Man (i.e. took on a human nature). There was no "seed" and no "conception" by "seed."

The way you read things suggests some sort of divine-human sexual event.

Luk 2:21 And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
Luk 2:22 And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord;
Luk 2:23 (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)

They made up this ridiculous fairy tale and somehow convinced each other that it's true...

Jesus didn't go thru the womb...Luke is telling a lie...Then they want to convince us that there are many mediators between man and Jesus...But then they don't even know if their mediators made it to heaven...WoW...What a religion...
