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: Stjohn, You pose the question, in part: “Why was it a Virgin birth?” Because that is what the Lord decreed brother. Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. “It was requisite that is conception should be otherwise than by ordinary generation, that so, so though he partook of the human nature, yet he might escape the corruption and pollution of it, and not be conceived and shapen in iniquity.” – Matthew Henry Stand in His grace, WOS |
