That's why we believe Jesus was FULLY God and FULLY human. Not half and half. God living as a human. "God with us" as Emmanuel means.

As far as the adultery claim goes, for starters Mary was not married. Adultery is when a married person has sexual relations outside of marriage. So if anything it was premarital fornication. However there was no sex, she was made pregnant.

Are women who are artificially inseminated considered to have had sex with the doctor that implants the sperm? Or even to have had sex with the man whose sperm it is? Having sex, and fertilising an ovary are two different things. Both can happen without the other.

Therefore, God did not have sex, adultery or premarital fornication with Mary. He "divinely inseminated her" you could say, and did so with her blessing, approval and consent.
