Meg, you are absolutely correct to question such teachings, because the pure and simple fact is that they are WRONG! The PERFECTION of GOD could never allow for such a travesty, all human opinions and wishes notwithstanding. Jesus Himself said: "I am come to uphold the Law, not to overthrow It", and the PERFECT LAWS say that there can be no birth without a previous *physical* procreation, all human opinions and wishes notwithstanding. The PERFECT LAW also says that no one can take the guilt of another upon himself. Not even Jesus, Who came to uphold the Law. For GOD to have to act *against* HIS own PERFECT LAWS would have to imply an imperfection in these LAWS, and therefore in GOD HIMSELF. And this is *not* the case, all human opinions and wishes notwithstanding. Those who are seriously interested in learning more about GOD and about HIS PERFECT LAWS are advised to read the work: "IN THE LIGHT OF TRUTH", the Grail Message, by Abd-ru-shin, for full explanations.
