You prots really like to cherry-pick scripture, don't you?

[31] Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and shalt bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus. [32] He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the most High; and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of David his father; and he shall reign in the house of Jacob for ever. [33] And of his kingdom there shall be no end. Luke Chapter 1 [emphasis mine].

You're not too good at paying attention are ya! You take the term conceive to read conceive 'of you' when the text states clearly that the Angel said conceived 'in you'.

Conceive is to implant in the body of the one who will give life support to the new life in her body. If conception was at union of oocyte and spermatozoon then more than one individual could be in the pregnancy, so conception of the One is when He implanted in Mary's womb.

Where GOD took the gametes or created the body using only His Will, you and I cannot know at this stage in History.

Did you see the passage from Matthew quoted in English and in the Greek from the Berean Bible?
