Hi Guest,
Your question is understandable and legitimate, but we probably don't know enough about human birth itself to be able to understand how the spirit becomes flesh, etc.
But here's something for you to consider. When the angels materialized into human form and had sex with women before the flood, the women became pregnant and gave birth to hybrid humans. Now, were those humans "perfect" since they were children of the angels?
I would think so. According to WTS reasoning, they would not have inherited Adamic sin since it is the sperm that is thought to give life. This does not mean they would have lived forever, however, maybe just 1000 years, since even Adam, though perfect, had to prove worthy to eat of the tree of eternal life.
Also in that regard, the angels who are also perfect are still MORTAL. They can be killed even if originally they were meant to live forever.
But with that clue, I would think it would be the same as you stated which is Jesus was materialized into human form, only not an adult, but a spermatozoa, thus he became god's son as well as the "Son of man".
But however it was done, he was 100% human until he died and then was raised up in spirit. When that happened, his body disappeared. Then when he wanted to become human again, he re-materialized his body.
So besides offering very little, I'll just say that the critical error in reasoning would be that a combination of a spirit-man. That is apparently not the case. They are either in spirit or in body but never both. They are either human or spirit, but never both.
Think of it as water. Water can be either ICE or liquid, but never both, even though it's the same life or the same "water."
Interesting question.
Cheers,
