God said that before He formed us in our mother's womb, He knew us. This statement fascinates me because it makes me think we were with God in His mind and heart, so to say, before we were conceived. We "existed" with God as His thoughts of His desire to create us. If God has no beginning and no end, then our life essence existed with Him before conception. This is my opinion, of course, as I consider how far we go back in time. As humans, we are measured by Earthly time. We will never understand our Eternal time, even though we existed in God's thoughts prior to Earth's existence. So God had to be our Eternal Father AND Mother, Spiritually speaking. Again, in my humble opinion.

You said that there better only two possible times when Jesus could behave been begotten, 1. at conception in the womb and, 2, at resurrection.
But there's a third and it's by far the most likely: at his water baptism when the BEGETTOR, the Spirit, came upon him and the word from the father declared "You are my beloved son....."
So, consider this. Consider also all Jesus said to Nicodemus in John three.
