“Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. . . .Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his
name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.” Matthew 1:18-23
Is it not strange that with such a clear record anyone can deny that the BIBLE TEACHES THE VIRGIN BIRTH. We can understand how men
can reject the Bible record, but how men can say that the Bible does not teach the virgin birth is beyond conception.
The Bible teaches plainly that Jesus was conceived in the womb of a virgin Jewish mother by a supernatural insemination of the Holy Ghost, wholly and apart from any generation by a human father. This the Bible teaches so plainly that to the believer there is no room for doubt. The record cannot
be mistaken by the enlightened and honest student of the Word.
JESUS SINLESS
The Bible teaches, in addition, that Jesus was a SINLESS man. Whereas all men from Adam to this day are born with Adam’s sinful nature, and therefore are subject to the curse and eternal death, the Man Jesus was without sin and therefore DEATHLESS, until He took the sin of others upon Himself and died THEIR death. “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.” Isaiah 53:6. Although Jesus was of Adam’s race according to the flesh, yet He did not inherit Adam’s nature. “For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens.” Hebrews 7:26.This fact alone will prove that sin is not transmitted through the flesh. It is transmitted through the blood and not the flesh, and even though Jesus was of the “seed of David according to the flesh,” Romans 1:3, this could not make Him a sinner. God has made of ONE BLOOD ALL THE NATIONS of the earth. Acts 17:26. Sinful heredity is transmitted through the blood and not through the flesh. Even though Jesus, therefore, received His flesh, His body, from a sinful race, He could still be sinless as long as no drop of blood of this sinful race entered His veins. God must find a way whereby Jesus could be perfectly human according to the flesh and yet not have the poisoned corruptible blood of sinful humanity. That was the problem solved by the virgin birth.
ORIGIN OF THE BLOOD
It is now definitely known that the blood which flows in an unborn babe’s arteries and veins is not derived from the mother, but is produced within the body of the fetus itself only after the introduction of the male s***m. An unfertilized o**m can never develop blood since the female egg does not by itself contain the elements essential for the production of this blood. It is only after the male element has entered the o**m that blood can develop. As a very simple illustration of this, think of the egg of a hen. An unfertilized egg is simply an o**m on a much larger scale than the human o**m. You may incubate this unfertilized hen’s egg, but it will never develop. It will dry up completely but no chick will result. But let that egg be fertilized by the introduction of the male s***m, and incubation will bring to light the presence of LIFE IN THAT EGG. After a few hours it visibly develops. In a little while red streaks occur in the egg, denoting the presence of BLOOD. This can never occur and never does occur until THE MALE S***M HAS BEEN UNITED WITH THE FEMALE O**M. The male element has added life to the egg. Life is in the blood according to Scripture, for Moses says:“For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for
it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul....For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof....” Leviticus 17:11, 14.Since there is no life in the egg until there's male s***m unites with it, and the life is in the blood, it follows that the male s***m is the source of the blood, the seat of life. Think it through!
NO MOTHER’S BLOOD
For this very reason it is unnecessary that a single drop of blood be given to the developing embryo in the womb of the mother. Such is the case according to science. The mother provides the fetus (the unborn developing infant) with the nutritive elements for the building of that little body in the secret
of her bosom, but all the blood which forms in it is formed in the embryo itself and only as a result of the contribution of the male parent. From the time of conception to the time of birth of the infant, not ONE SINGLE DROP OF BLOOD ever passes from mother to child. The placenta, that mass of temporary tissue known better as “afterbirth,” forming the union between mother and child, is so constructed that although all the soluble nutritive elements such as proteins, fats, carbohydrates, salts, minerals and even antibodies pass freely from mother to child and the waste products of the child’s metabolism are passed back to the mother’s circulation, no actual interchange of a single drop of blood ever occurs normally. All the blood which is in that child is produced within the child itself as a result of the introduction of the male s***m. The mother contributes no blood at all. This is why a blood test determines the parentage of the father, never the mother.
TESTIMONY OF SCIENCE
Now for the sake of some of the skeptics who may doubt these statements, let me quote from a few reliable authorities. In Howell’s “Textbook of Physiology,” Second Edition, pages 885 and 886, I read:“For the purpose of understanding its general functions it is sufficient to recall that the placenta consists essentially of vascular chorionic papillae from the fetus (the unborn child) bathed in the large blood spaces of the decidual membrane of the mother. The fetal and maternal blood DO NOT COME INTO ACTUAL CONTACT. THEY ARE SEPARATED FROM EACH OTHER by the walls of the fetal blood vessels and the epithelial layers of the chorionic villi.”Or let me quote from Williams’ “Practice of Obstetrics,” Third Edition, page 133:“The fetal blood in the vessels of the chorionic villi AT NO TIME GAINS ACCESS TO THE MATERNAL BLOOD in the intervillous spaces, BEING SEPARATED FROM ONE
ANOTHER by the double layer of chorionic epithelium.”And from page 136 of the same recognized textbook I quote:“Normally there is no communication between the fetal blood and the maternal blood.”Now for the benefit of those of you why may be nurses, let me quote from a textbook which is familiar to you. I quote as follows from “Nurse’s Handbook of Obstetrics” by Louise Zabriskie, R. N., Fifth Edition, page 75:“When the circulation of the blood begins in the embryo, it remains separate and distinct from that of the mother. All food and waste material which are interchanged between the embryo and the mother must pass through the blood vessel walls from one circulation to the other.”And from page 82 of the same book I quote:“The fetus receives its nourishment and oxygen from the mother’s blood into its own through the medium of the placenta. The fetal heart pumps blood through the arteries of the umbilical cord into the placenta vessels, which, looping in and out of the uterine tissue and lying in close contact with the uterine vessels, permit a diffusion, through their walls, of waste products from child to mother and of nourishment and oxygen from mother to child. As has been said, this interchange is effected by the process of osmosis, and there is
no direct mingling of the two blood currents. In other words, no maternal blood actually flows to the fetus, nor is there any direct fetal blood flow to the mother.”
GOD’S WONDERFUL PROVISION
How wonderfully God prepared for the virgin birth of His Son. When He created woman He made her so that no blood would be able to pass from her to her offspring. That blood is the result of the male. Since Adam was the federal head of the race, it is HIS BLOOD which transmits Adam’s sin and not Eve’s. It is by one man - not one woman! “For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by
one, Jesus Christ.” Romans 5:17. Judgment - the curse - was transmitted by one Adam . . . . . not by two – Adam and Eve. “Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.” Romans 5:18. In order to produce a sinless man who would yet be the son of Adam, God must provide a way whereby that man would have a human body derived from Adam, but have not a drop of Adam’s sinful blood. Right here is the
scientific, biological reason for the sinlessness of the Man Christ Jesus. Some have tried to answer the question, “How could He be sinless and yet born of a woman?” by making Mary the “Immaculate Virgin.” That, however, does not answer the question of how Jesus was sinless, since it is through the male that the blood line runs. Sin is not transmitted through the body given by the mother . . . . . sin is transmitted and is in the blood given by the father.“Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.” Romans 5:12.
In the early weeks of pregnancy one cluster of cells begins to develop into the placenta, which is an organ grown especially to nourish the baby and to excrete its waste products. The outside layer of this cell cluster develops
into a membrane with hundreds of tiny roots which pe*****te the uterine tissues.The mother’s blood does not flow directly into the baby at any stage of pregnancy. It passes across the tissues on the maternal side of the placenta and the baby’s blood passes back across the tissues on the other side. The
two bloodstreams are separated by the membrane; chemical substances can be diffused from one bloodstream to the other through the membrane, but the bloodstreams themselves never mix. The baby can thus have a different blood group from the mother, while still taking its nourishment from her
blood. In the same way its waste products are passed back through the placenta into the mother’s bloodstream, to be excreted by the mother’s kidneys.Not only is this a scientific fact, but it is plainly taught in Scripture that Jesus partook of human flesh without Adam’s blood. In Hebrews 2:14 we read: “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same....”
You will notice that the “children,” that is, the human children, are said to be partakers of FLESH AND BLOOD, and then, speaking of Jesus, this verse says that He “himself likewise took part of the same.” The word “took part,” as applying to Christ is an entirely different word from “partakers” as applied to the children. In my Bible, I read that the word translated “took part” implies “taking part in something outside of one’s self.” The Greek
word for partakers is “koinoneo” and means “to share fully,” so that all of Adam’s children share fully in Adam’s flesh and blood. Hence the fallen nature transmitted through the blood. When we read that Jesus “took part
of the same,” the word is “metecho,” which means “to take part but not all.” The children take both flesh and blood of Adam, but Christ took only part, that is, the flesh part, whereas the blood was the result of supernatural
conception.“For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled,
separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens.” Hebrews 7:26.
Jesus was separate from us sinners! He may have looked like us . . . . . even as margarine may look like butter - but it is not butter.
Jesus was a perfect human being after the flesh. He was of the seed of David according to the flesh, but blood is that part of a man which is the divine addition. In the creation of man, Adam’s body was made from the dust of the earth, but God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life. Since life is in the blood, this act resulted in the formation of blood in Adam’s
body, but the first Adam’s blood was corrupted because of transgression, and sin was transmitted through it to all mankind. Genesis 2:17. In the last Adam and the second man, new and divine and sinless blood was produced in a body that was the seed of Adam and by this resulted in the production
of divine blood.
Conception by the Holy Ghost was the only way the virgin birth could be accomplished. “And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.” Luke 1:35. Mary contributed the body of Jesus and He became “the seed of David according to the flesh.” The Holy Spirit contributed the blood of Jesus and He became “the Son of God.” Luke 1:35. It is sinless blood! It is divine blood! It is incorruptible blood! It is precious blood, for there has never been any other like it. It is innocent blood.
“I have betrayed the innocent blood,” Judas confessed in Matthew 27:4. Our Lord was innocent. He became like unto us in all things - SIN only excepted. He “knew no sin,” II Corinthians 5:21, therefore like unto us
with ONE EXCEPTION - instead of being conceived by a human father, He was conceived by a DIVINE FATHER. As a result, biologically, He had DIVINE BLOOD, SINLESS BLOOD, INCORRUPTIBLE BLOOD.
The apostle Paul calls this blood - the blood of God Himself! Acts 20:28. Because this blood is sinless. It is incorruptible blood. That which is not subject to decay. Sinless - hence - deathless! Eternal!
Sin made human blood corruptible. Soon after death decay sets in, and it begins in the blood. That is why meat must be drained well of its blood. That is why embalmers place the embalming fluid in the blood. David said
that Jesus’ body should not see corruption. Because the blood of Christ had no corruption in it. It was incorruptible blood. I Peter 1:18-19. Though He was dead three days and three nights, His body did not corrupt. If He
had lain there one thousand days and nights, His body still would not have become corrupt! Because He was sinless they could not put Him to death but instead He laid down His life voluntarily that He might take it up again.
John 10:17-18. He arose by the power of God because death had no claim on Him except the claim of others’ sin, and when that was paid -
Death cannot keep his prey - Jesus, my Savior; He tore the bars away Jesus, my Lord. Up from the grave He arose,With a mighty triumph o’er His foes.Have you received Christ as your Savior and have you been washed in HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD? If not, you are still under the curse and the awful sentence of death. Why not accept Him today and hear Him as He says:“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.” Romans 5:8-9.
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him
which believeth in Jesus.” Romans 3:23-26.
