Jesus being fully human is rather a central part of Christianity; the 'fully divine' part is an addition to that, not a replacement. Jesus being human isn't a glitch in Church revisionism, something not fully erased by Constantine seventeen hundred years ago, but a central part of Christian theology. Jesus was human, humans have sex. It's not a big thing.

One of my children once asked me, "Did Jesus wear diapers?"

Sounds silly, but if a six year old can figure out that basic biology is a part of human existence - seems obvious that scholars and The Church would see it. Sensationalist do seem caught up in the Specialness of Faith - that it is reserved for the few. Of course, part of that is choosing to ignore a Central Theme of Christ's Message, he came for all - God's love, mercy and spirit is available to all with only one requirement.

We still like to make it harder than it needs to be. :grin:
