That's because I don't understand how Jesus is "God from God" like the Nicene Creed claims.
So maybe those out here that completely believes it can explain how it works. How is it that Jesus came from a woman but is God from God? How did Mary's ovum become fertilized by divine seed, that produced 100% divinity?
And if Jesus was also 100% human, how does that work? The egg was divinely inseminated but produced a human. How?
Please, those of you that are convinced that it is absolutely true, explain this to me. Please explain the mechanics of it, or biology of it. Cuz my brain short-circuits when I try to figure such a thing out. And Untohim is right. It makes me crazy.
So I'm gonna remain crazy if'n y'all don't straighten this out for me. And if ya don't, then Untohim can't hold it against me any longer ... and neither can God.
Surely salvation doesn't require us to be illogical ... or does it?

Salvation requires us to believe God, whether we find it "logical" or not. Period.
Your comments about Mary being "sexually abused" are baseless and cross the line of human decency.
I hear comments about what is "logical" from you and zeek. Your "logic" is based on what you believe, or do not believe. Belief and unbelief sets our minds off in different directions. The "logic" you speak of is not the real logic.
It is a mystery and a miracle beyond human comprehension that a seed from a man and an egg from a woman could unite and become an altogether new person. I say this is an entirely impossible event, yet it happens every day. Totally "illogical." Furthermore, I have been born of the Spirit of God, and this same Jesus who walked the earth now lives in me. This also is logically impossible, yet it definitely happened to me and to the rest of God's children, even if the rest of the entire world refuses to accept it.
God has made us in His own image and likeness, and thus we are a similar species as God. We are more
like Him than doctors and psychiatrists will ever know. That is why God could possibly be born of the virgin Mary. The greatest miracles in the history of man are the incarnation and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Both were a divine birth, and both times God was
born into humanity.
