If you believe that sin is the exercise of free will of man, by disobedience, just like Adam and Eve did, then Jesus being the Son of God, never did sinned but submitted to the Father in everything, therefore He is a sinless Men, the one and the Only. Nothing to do with genes, father or mother.

Good summarization! Seems this is one of those things where specific verses can be lined-up to support either. Wonder if it's another thing where the answer is "yes." (in other words, both)
And related to the incarnation, I think most Christians would say Christ was/is God becoming a man. If that is the case, can it be much of a stretch to say Christ, the God-Man, became a Spirit? And since God in Christ gets into man via the Spirit . . . see where this could lead?
