And which view "wouldn't work?"
Man's. Our knowledge as of today is that the female egg is X chromosone. The male sperm are Ys and Xs. xx=girl xy=boy. If only tissue of Mary were replicated then wouldn't she have birthed a daughter? But, it didn't happen this way. Why? Caz we aren't as smart as we think we are? Caz with God all things are possible?
What is "the result?"
Jesus! :')
Well, for one, if something like Jesus not being related to Mary at all is believed, it goes a long way towards explaing the standoffishness many Protestants have towards Mary. If she was just a womb-for-hire and a nanny, there is no need for her to be anything special.
Either way works for me. Mary still did something very special. Whether God made His body from Mary and placed His spirit there or made a different body as He did with Adam, or accomplished this miracle in any other way, doesn't make any difference to me. His will suits me just fine :')
Nobody is making the argument that Jesus is a woman. Obviously God, as author of life, has control over DNA. What is being said is that her chromosones were used to make Jesus' humanity. Not that she was cloned into Jesus, but that she was the only human being who was related to Him.
Either God took her chromosones and used them to make a zygote Jesus, or God took her chromosones and used them to make a "Mary sperm" or something else happened.
The point is that Mary is the mother of Jesus. Totally. In all respects. And that He has no human father, biologically.

I understand this and agree but I still have concerns about Christians talking about being perfect. It's more the word than the intent. If I state that I have been saved and am now perfect and someone I witness to hears me say this then sees me do something un-perfect I worry that without understanding they might be completely turned off to knowing more.
You agree with Jim that we are perfect souls trapped in dirty bodies?
How come when you say you are perfect, it means that you are still human, but when we say Mary is perfect it means that she is somehow "divine?"
Is a human without sin a god?
