Re: "Divine Flesh" remedy
Where did the seed come from? God, right? So in a sense every one believes in the divine origin of his flesh to some degree.

In one sense, true, but nothing of God is physical. Even His incarnation was not God made into anything physical. God is a Spirit and hath no flesh and bones. That says it all. 
Bro Hutchinson is correct. Divine flesh is not new:
John Gill wrote about 1 Cor 15:47 and attacked the divine flesh doctrine by saying this:
this is not to be understood of his human nature, or of his human body, as if that came down from heaven, and passed through the virgin, as some heretics of old said, as water through a pipe; for though it was conceived and formed in a miraculous manner, under the overshadowing of the Holy Ghost from on high, yet was formed out of the matter and substance of the virgin, and so was of the earth; and was indeed an earthly body, supported by earthly means, and at last returned to the earth, and was interred in it: Gill lived from 1690 to 1771! And in his day that heresy was considered "old".
Gill raised a good point. We were cursed to die and return to the dust. Jesus took our curse for us and returned to the dust. He could not that unless His flesh was of the earth as well!

The Seed? As in the SPERM? Divine SPERM? Well the bible never says there was a seed.
Jesus said spirit gives birth to spirit and flesh to flesh. How God caused Mary to conceive nobody knows, but the bible clearly says where his humanity came from, through the seed of David by way of Mary

I didn't mean literal seed but the DNA to complete a body being born, either way, it was of divine origin no matter how it happened. He had no earthly father and Mary's egg couldn't do it alone.
