BTW this is a misconception, Jesus is not the literal son of god because Jesus is god, something cannot beget itself, Jesus is indeed the son of Joseph and Marry, and the idea that Mary is a virgin comes from a misunderstanding of the belief that she was born without sin.
People mistook that to mean that she gave birth without sin, but sex in marriage isn’t a sin in most religions, so Marry having conceived the child with Joseph is just fine.
The idea of Jesus as some kind of demigod was more a flubbism of the idea to make the early religion more understandable to greek converts who would have previously existed in a cultural context of heroic figures literally being the demigod children of gods.
Tl;Dr, Jesus is Joseph’s bio kid, Marry was born without original sin and that’s the kind of innocence that made her special not having given birth as a virgin, Jesus is God not the son of God
Have you considered reading a book instead of trusting your pastor at their word?
It’s funny to me cuz I confronted my parents priest as I was getting skeptical about religion in my mind 20s. I specifically brought up not believing Mary could be a virgin, and his response was “it’s in the Bible, just go read it!” MF that’s why I’m here, I already read the damn thing.
