Of course she is born of a woman, she is just not of the woman. The bible does this all the time as in where it calls Joseph Jesus's Father. He is but he isn't. Jesus is born through a woman which can also be stated of a woman but He is not of her in every sense. The only sense left is the egg.

You sound like you are furiously spinning. Maybe this all makes sense to you. Is this all based on that one verse? Your claim that Jesus is not "born of woman" cause he says there is none greater than John?

Don't you think that Jesus not including himself in the statement is a more logical reading?

In addition, you have not answered the question of how humanity, fallen humanity, is redeemed if Jesus does not take His humanity from the existing stock, but is instead a new creation?

If He is not a human of our lineage, then how can He redeem us?
