Reproduction of The Children of God/The Father

I was just considering the nature of the specific nonsense that has taken root and has remained rooted in my mind, through this storm and the prior (even beyond that, truly). This unusual thing takes the form of claiming daughters from the crowd which I see. Just this evening I believe I realized why I do this.

When The Lord God created the first man in Genesis 2:7, it was not done sexually, at a minimum by any human comprehension of the term. "Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being."

Again in Matthew we see what might be seen as sexual reproduction from a biological sense, but not from a human sense, as seen in these two verses:

Matthew 1:18
This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit.

Matthew 1:23, Isaiah 7:14
“The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”).

This paints the picture, from my perspective at least, of conception without intercourse, and conception by Spirit, without flesh indicated (which I find interesting, moreso than including it as something I have a supposition for right now; perhaps DNA is not technically "flesh?").

Now Jesus also claimed directly, a claim I believe, to be The Son of God 

John 10:35-36
"If he called them ‘gods,’ to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be set aside— what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’?"

So the question becomes: would Jesus strictly be able to reproduce in the way mankind does, or would Jesus also be able to able to reproduce as God/The Holy Spirit does, as a kind of "hybrid," to use a modern term, of these two kinds? What justification would there be for Jesus not to be able to reproduce as God/The Holy Spirit does, scripturally? If no justification is found to the contrary, I maintain that it makes to consider the possibility that Jesus could continue his own line as a man would, or as one in God's family/genus/species/etc. would, as Jesus sees fit, which could include simply forming new life from dust or what have you and breathing life into it, or by divine conception through spirit.

I have also stated before that becoming a "Child of God" or a "Child of your Father in heaven" seems like it would be a genetic change, from a human understanding perspective, though the individual would not necessarily lose the traits of the species they were prior to the change (human, in these examples). Jesus also indicates how this may occur:

Matthew 5:44-45
"But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous."

So the question becomes: is it possible for one to do this in full and be transformed yet not connect these scriptural dots for what such a change might mean, such that they have the ability to reproduce as a child of God ("child of your Father in heaven") would, without realizing it? If the timing is not an issue, given God's perspective seems timeless anyway, and reasonably can slip effortlessly through what mankind might call causality, memory, and the arrow of time (time travel, to simplify things and make them more tangible), how would age differences between father/mother and daughter matter in this equation? What else in the equation of what is considered "common knowledge regarding reproduction" might be set aside when God is directly at the helm? The final question is: Can a man look into a crowd and recognize his own spirit, his own offspring, shining back at him, despite all earthly logic to the contrary? Who besides God has the authority to say otherwise, and where in God's Word might God have written anything to contradict what I have quoted and written here regarding God's own life generating processes?
