Response To Someone Proposing A Different Theory Of The Virgin Birth

Nice Heresy. There has been nearly 2 millennia worth of Christian teaching stating that Jesus is both "true God and True Man". There is one passage that especially points to the need of this fact.

Romans 5:
12 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned— sin is not counted where there is no law. like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come. 13 for sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law. 14 Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sinning was not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come.
15 But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man’s trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many.


But i think saint Athanasius said it best, "For that which He has not assumed He has not healed; but that which is united to His Godhead is also saved".

Christ had to take on our humanity to save it, that is why a Messiah was promised way back in Genesis! (Well that and a few other reasons such as God loves us and always wanted to be with us etc.). But any way, Christ would not be "True Man", unless he was born of Mary, and he could not heal the lineage of Adam unless he was part of it. Making Him a New Creation purely by the Holy Spirit would mean he was not of Adam's lineage!
