you don't.

It would seem to me that it is your intention to denigrate Jesus from
our own understanding. But it is your mis- understanding that has
brought you to that conclusion.

Is Jesus Christ God?
www.reformedonline.com/view/reformedonline/christ.htm

Jesus Christ was/is a unique person with a unique ministry and message
for humans throughout the world.

His disciple, Peter, said to Him, "You are the Christ, the Son of the
living God." Peter recognised His unique human perfection and His
uniqueness as God.

Although it is not recorded in the New Testament scriptures it is most
likely that Peter was aware of the details of the conception of Jesus
Christ.
Although Mary, His mother was human and not perfect, Jesus was perfect
-
the perfect Son of God, the Triune God revealed in the Biblical
record.
