I do have a competent understanding of that verse....God said it and He means what He said. The Word is God. What's to discuss?

relevant scripture towards my premise found:
Acts 2:22 King James Version (KJV)
22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:

Fortunate for me.....I'm sorry. I thought we were discussing Word. I didn't realize we were in a competition.

@Bendito
Above is the reason why it is unfortunate for you. Because it would make you look less competent because of your own words . Not necessarily a bad thing though.
So far I have only shared the word. Now if you say I have been in a spirit of competitvness then that is fine. Once I am sharing the word and not bearing false witness, slandering, being disrespectful, then that should be fine.
Now If I hurt you I apologize. The word is the word and the word was God. Why? Because he was given the authority of God. That concept you have which do many is tradition of Man. Don't forget I asked if you were sure you wanted to go there. And Don't forget what your response was. And Don't forget I dedicated that whole post for you which does take time.
That is why it is unfortunate for you. I understand your silence and is ok. Your not the only one.

No I did not misunderstand. I liked your comments because I expected such responses; I also wanted to make sure you are encouraged and don't feel too bad. So definitely feel free to deflect or laugh it off. I blame myself for possibly throwing too much seed and water. Maybe I should have checked if you had new wineskins first. Everything will be fine.

Don't flatter me; I am nothing before the Creator. I simply have a little experience in conversing online with people about scripture. And I simply seem to be right or more accurate on the topic. Then when you brought up the world view, traditions of man interpretation of John 1:1 you just happened to step on proverbial land mine. I've had to study that verse and chapter extensively.
Now Remember when you said.
@Bendito
Ideally you should keep traditions of men and worldly concepts out of it. Here is some scripturally advice and be strong brotha some of those same beliefs i had at one point.
2 Timothy 2:15 King James Version (KJV)
15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
2 Timothy 3:16 King James Version (KJV)
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
Isaiah 28:9-10 King James Version (KJV)
9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.
10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
Hebrews 5:14 King James Version (KJV)
14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

So....What " traditions of men" did I supposedly throw out? And yes....It's obvious. You do know everything. I recognized that right off. When you say something, everybody should simply shut up and learn. Right?

The Traditional Concept of The World or Mainstream Christianity that contradicts John 1:18
John 1:18 King James Version (KJV)
18 No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All praises to the heavenly father for the little i do know. At the same time Luke 12:48
Luke 12:48 King James Version (KJV)
48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shut up and Learn? Actually I prefer dialogue and believe it or not rebuttals can help me grow because it pushes me to research more. Unfortunately/Fortunately must rebuttals i have already heard before or cross referenced.
Just an hour ago I did express uncertainty in this post.
PERFECTIONISM FROM SIN
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Certain topics or concepts can be very multifaceted; connected but multifaceted.
Also ideally when I post something i would hope for it to be informative and I would hope for people to learn. "Few actually may have" but unlike Paul I am not an all things to all man type of guy. And of course if I am wrong I would hope to be corrected with scripture accordingly
Proverbs 15:10 King James Version (KJV)
10 Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproof shall die.

Hello @Ivar
This actually proves what? I only see you quoting Scripture and providing your thoughts on what it means. In particular what it means in supporting the speculation once again concerning Joseph’s contributing to the birth of Jesus. I'm sorry, but God is not limited by the physics of Science that we are currently in possession of. I mean think about it. Adam from dust and breath of life, woman from the rib of man, Bones to life (Ezekiel). Why is it so difficult for one to believe that Joseph was filling in as the earthly father position, similar to an adoptive father, and so had the title of father, but was not the progenitor?
At least you bolded the last sentence.
However, starting it out with “Perhaps”???? Your own words are conjecture. The problem with this thread is that you give the appearance that you believe Joseph as the biological father to be true.
Of course not!!! Because though they knew He was virgin born. Probably the only ones at that time who did. Plus, do you believe that they fully understand His purpose or so His deity? This is not the first time Mary did not vocalize or possibly understand fully the purpose for which Jesus was born of her or his calling. (Recall the turning water into wine. John 2:4) So, Jesus here was clearly stating at the Temple who His begetter was, and it was not Joseph. If I have to lean in any direction am I going to lean in the direction of the comments made by Mary & Joseph or the words of Jesus'? For me it has to be Jesus'.
Yes, but that was not all. You quote Matthew 1:20 but don't cover what is clearly evident by the words spoken of by the Angel. "....conceived in her..." which is Life in the present tense of "....which is conceived..."!!! Not tomorrow or words which speculate on when Joseph might have had relations with Mary. Either way it would have had to be after the dream.
Also, I believe you might have discussed this in another thread, but not in this one. How does Matthew 1:25, fit into this scenario of Joseph being the father. I'm also adding v24 which you do mention, to give it context.
24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: 25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS. Matthew 1:24-25
You can’t split these verses up and retain context. The perspective of man against that of what God is capable of just by viewing the entirety of Scripture in context should have all amazed at the virgin birth without Man, instead of writing words that would create doubt.
Nope. You only need the Creator.
This is not a new subject. Non-believers hold on to this, but are letting it go slowly. Modern Science is showing that only the DNA is needed for a pregnancy, but if you have an Almighty God, the purveyor of life? Virgin birth without man’s DNA, is very possible!
With the Love of Christ Jesus.

I commend you for this post. I will focus on 3/5ths of it roughly 60% as you focus on let's just say 50% of my points. Expect three responses; Not all at once; Hold off until three response posted please. Your previous response in red

4. To make Christ according to the flesh and offspring of “Adam" Man you need male and female
Nope. You only need the Creator.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First thing First we must Define According to: which is "in conformity with"
Definition of ACCORDING TO
Romans 1:3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now there are four types of flesh but specifically we are looking at the Flesh of Men / Adam which is Male and Female.
1 Corinthians 15:39 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.
Genesis 5:1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
Genesis 5:2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now their is nothing new under the sun and the law of creation was finalized on the seventh day
Ecclesiastes 1:9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
Genesis 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
Genesis 2:2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now Christ came to fulfill the law "which also encompasses the law of creation" not destroy
Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now Putting it all together
Christ was made in conformity of the flesh; specifically the flesh of men; specifically Adam; specifically which is Male and Female.
Nothing new under the sun God ended his creation on the seventh day.
If something else impregnates a woman besides man then that is not natural and not in accordance with the Creation of God.
Christ came to fulfill the law which would consist of fulfilling the law of creation concerning the flesh which is man which is male and female. Not one without the other.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Modern Science
Fair enough however let science conform to the scriptures and agree in one.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Man or Species of Man = Male and Female= Gender= X and Y Chromosomes
Scientifically Gender is determined by the Seed or *****. Women do not have Y chromosomes and it is the Y chromosomes or lack thereof that determines the gender of a person;
Y is the sex-determining chromosome in many species, since it is the presence or absence of Y that determines the male or female sex of offspring produced in sexual reproduction.

Valid point I could almost agree with you however there is no problem if one can discern that I believe Joseph is the Father according to the flesh.
I even clearly stated first "My current strongest premise on Joseph being the Father of Christ according to the flesh. "
My usage of perhaps was to express the possibility "which more than likely it did happen". With certainty Joseph is the Father however it's not that easy to discern. Scriptures imply it without saying it outright. One thing that is for certain is that if Joseph is not the Father then the scriptures are broken which cannot happen.

Christ was made like his brethren which were made by male and female parents of the flesh.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Christ became Passover lamb for men and women which are his people; So he had to be made by men and women in the flesh to be the perfect sin offering or Passover lamb. If only made by woman and not Man then Christ is Passover lamb for women or sistahs and not his brethren or people which would include both male and female. Also this would be an unlawful creation.
And like i said before a Son of Man is offspring of Man and Woman or Male and Female. Also Females do not have the Y chromosome which scientifically makes a Male an Adam by gender. Just as the lack of Y chromosome makes a Female an Adam by gender when it comes to the Species of Type of Flesh that is Man.

Slight modification to first response. Without the Man or Seed or ***** you cannot have a person because a person is defined by it's gender and without the assigned gender you cannot even have the person to begin with.

To your Question:
Why is it so difficult for one to believe that Joseph was filling in as the earthly father position, similar to an adoptive father, and so had the title of father, but was not the progenitor?
I have a question "which needs no answer".
Why is it soo difficult for one to believe that a Son of Man has a biological Mamma and a Dadda ?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why is it soo difficult to believe that Christ came in conformity with the Flesh?
Why do people call me antichrist when scriptures specifically say:
