Legend says the Mary conceived Jesus by God. Historical evidence shows that Nazareth was a crossroads of Pagan "women Gods" terrority (Syrians and Phillistines) and the Jewish controled terratory. As a crossroad, the Jews in this area had mixed some pagan customs with jewish teachings. In pagan trations of this time, a woman of great standing from priestly origins (as mentioned in the heritage of Mary) would become pregnant by a top priest, and the child would be raised to become a top priest himself. A good, and noble man would be recruited to raise the child as his own. This makes sinse. Joseph was a well respected and noble man. A man such as this would not marry a tainted female pregant out-of-wedlock, unless ..... A woman would be ostrized if she became pregant out-of-wedlock, unless .... The fact that Joseph married Mary (who was pregnant by a child not his own) does not make sense in the culture and traditions of that time, unless Jesus was conceived to become a great preacher. Concidently, he did become such a great preacher.

Fact that Jesus is a son of God. God created Adam and Eve, everyone decended from them. Jesus says we area all the children of God. That makes him a Son, and you and me sons and daughers too. In jewish tradition. Adam, was a spirit. God created a Adam, the group spirit for the entire human race. From that spirit, all other spirits were created: you, me, and Jesus.
