I just read this and it makes it sound like God somehow fathered Isaac or that Isaac is partially somehow God’s son in some biological way.

gen 21:
1 And the Lord visited Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did unto Sarah as he had spoken.
2 For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.

‘The Lord did unto Sarah as he had spoken’
What does that mean exactly? What if the miracle baby is God’s. There’s no mention of Jehovah being physical later in the timeline. What if Jehovah became Isaac as a prep run? Could Jehovah be his own father somehow being both the father and the son? (See Mosiah 15). I’ve also wondered if Christ could’ve come down as Melchizedek. Anyways does anyone think this stuff is possible?

Isaac was Abraham's and Sarah's biological/physical son. "The Lord did unto Sarah as he had spoken" is merely verifying that the Lord kept his promise to Abraham and Sarah (the Lord did what he said he'd do). The promise ("as he had spoken" to Sarah) is found in Genesis 17:1, 15-19.

1 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.

15 ¶ And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.

16 And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her.

17 Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?

18 And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee!

19 And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.

Nope. Not even in the tiniest degree of possibility.

Isaac was fooled by Jacob. Sure, Jacob was a scheister of the first-degree, but I don't think he could pull it over on Him.
