Bible Question:
Hello all; I hope this question is not redundent; As it pertains to something said here, and maybe it was questioned, if it was, I apologize. But..... I have heard it stated; that the virgin birth accrued so that Jesus would be born "without" a "sin" nature. If this is so: How could He have been tempted? And if not; then..... Why was it a Virgin birth? God bless stj |
Bible Answer: It is not a sin to be "tempted". It is a sin to fall into the trap of temptation but Jesus was tempted in everything but without "sin" so that we would not have an excuse that Jesus did not understand our nature. The DNA of a child comes from the Father. The virgin birth also teaches us that God the Father was the Father of Jesus, which made Jesus part man and part God. The virgin birth is an incredible miracle that only an all -powerful God could have performed. The blood that Jesus shed on the cross was also the Father's blood due to Jesus having His Father's DNA. The Father and the Son are one!!! That's what I call true love. |
