DAVEH: Who have you heard say that, DavidM??? I'm not saying that there are not any
LDS who may have believed such, but I have never met any. The only people I've ever
heard say they believe that are those who are critical of the our beliefs.
In my opinion, Jesus inherited the genetic material of his Father in Heaven. Now
let me say that it is pure speculation as to the mechanics of the conception of Jesus,
but I firmly believe he is the literal Son of God. In this day and age of
genetics, I think it is more likely that the DNA was altered to be the same as (or
very similar to) his Father's......but that is a guess on my part. I just don't think
it is absolutely necessary for the Father's genetic material to be transferred only
by sperm. I hope that clarifies my thinking on this.
