You are welcome to believe whatever disgusting tawdry offensive false doctrine you want about the virgin birth. I've demonstrated your beliefs have nothing to do with scritpures found in the Old Testament, New Testament or Book of Mormon. It is based solely on a perverted doctrine taught by Brigham Young that has been repudiated by later prophets in the Church and is completely uninspired.

I want to correct something I stated on my previous post. I shouldn't have stated that Joseph Smith copied an incorrect statement, it's just misleading ststement. Actually, it is correct to state a "virgin conceived" because conceived means to become pregnant. However, only in fairy tales can a virgin become pregnant without sex. That would be in violation of natural law, and as James Talmadge states in "Jesus the Christ," that was not in violation of natural law. In fact, as I previously stated, this is what many prophets and apostles have taught!

This would have been an interesting question for the BBC to put to Holland and also for President Newsroom to answer in 'Mormonism 101'.

Do Mormons believe God himself literally had sexual intercourse with Joseph's wife Mary in order to produce the offspring known as Jesus Christ?

Do you think they would have said "Yes. Yes we do."?

Good point Drifting! I doubt it seriously! He would have probably been squirming like a snake in his chair!
