Glenn Beck Channels Mormon Prophecy in Utah for Cruz: ‘Body of the Priesthood’-'Constitution Hangs’

"Again this is total nonsense. No where is it taught or ever has been taught that God the Father and Mary had physical relations. No where. Oh I've seen your ilk try to twist it into that. She got pregnant. Jesus was half God the Father and half Mary. Mary carried Jesus to term and delivered Him just like every other baby. The process that was used to get her pregnant, we don't know.

I posted this reply to you sometime ago, curious that you remain insistent on denying the truth contained in Mr. Kimball's recorded statements.

Heber C. Kimball who was a member of the first presidency said,"In relation to the way in which I look upon the works of God and his creatures, I will say that I was naturally begotten; so was my father, and also my saviour Jesus Christ. According to the Scriptures, he is the first begotten of his father in the flesh, and there was nothing unnatural about it." (Journal of Discourses, v. 8, p. 211).

I just don’t see how one can continue to deny that the mormons were insistent on teaching that Christ was conceived by physical relations with Mary.

But, before you deny the JoD are not doctrine, consider the following from one of your self-proclaimed prophets...

"The Journal of Discourses is a vehicle of doctrine, counsel, and instruction to ALL people, but especially to the Saints. It follows then, then, [sic] that each successive volume is more and more valuable as the Church increases in numbers and importance in the earth." Journal of Discourses, vol. 11, p. iii (1867) " — Brigham Young

And you're doing the same thing TN is doing. My cousin had two kids, both by artificial insemination. Was that unnatural or were my cousins not "begotten"?

You're putting words and meanings that aren't there. Jesus had the same number of chromosomes that ever other human has. He grew in Mary's womb naturally. She gave birth to Him.

Some where along the line Mary became pregnant and His Father's chromosomes were introduced into Mary. How they physically got there, we don't know.

If Kimball meant intercourse, he would have said intercourse. But he doesn't say that.

But for some reason you keep stretching everyone's words to get the meaning you want... ok what ever.
