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."?

I recall when I was serving my mission in Peru, and we asked the Mission President if God "overshadowing" Mary meant he had sex with her or not... BECAUSE the local Evangelicals were pinging on that like crazy.
The Mission President straight up said God had sex with Mary. He acted like we were crazy for not understanding that.
So.
From that point forward I taught that God screwed Mary.

Every record...falsified, every book rewritten...every statue...has been renamed or torn down, every date...altered...the process is continuing...minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Ideology is always right.
Mormon's believe whatever United Methodists believe.

Actually semen replaces all the blood. That's the life-giving substance spoken of by Elder Packer, and that's what allows resurrected bodies to live forever.

Mormons think elohim or adam or the 'god of the week' is a male, right?
So why would a male that has the ability to impregnate through copulation choose artificial insemination via the Unembodied One?
If the Mormon god, whomever that may be, didn't have Biblical 'knowledge' of Mary, why would it be that exalted Mormons will need their genitalia in the CK? If they reproduce without it, maybe it will be the CK achievers that will be the eternal smoothies.
