Joe, I merely took issue with your statement...

that God "created" the man Jesus.

There is a very important distinction between Christ being created vs begotten.

Many people and religions, such as Jehovah's Witnesses, believe that Jesus Christ was created.

Christianity teaches that Christ is "begotten not made, of one essence with the Father, by whom all things were made. Who for us men and our salvation came down from heaven and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and Virgin Mary and became man."

What you stated was that God created the man Jesus and I was attempting to emphasize rather that God the Word "incarnated" ...

..and yes, the order of nature was superseded when Mary was overshadowed by the Holy Spirit.
