Son of Man born of a virgin.
-by rory moore
From the
beginning the devil attempted to kill or discredit Jesus, another twist is the
idea that Joseph impregnated Mary and thus Joseph is the true paternal father
of Jesus Christ. After he was risen from the dead, the Jews called him a
deceiver, that the Isaiah 7:14 prophecy of a virgin conceiving was really only
a young woman, not a virgin when Jesus was born.
A young woman getting pregnant
by her espoused husband would not be much of a “sign”, but a virgin conceiving
and having a child, that would be an amazing sign.
AFTER they knew who Jesus is,
they preached the same revelation Peter preached.
"you are the
Christ, the SON OF THE LIVING GOD".
John 3:18
He that believes on him is not condemned: but he that does not believe is
condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Witness
Matthew:
1:22 Now all
this was done,
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord
by the prophet, saying
23
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.
God
confirmed through Matthew for a reason that in time people would pick up
doctrines of demons regarding the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the *Son of God*.
An Ethiopian
believed Philip.
In Acts 8, And Philip opened
his mouth, beginning from this scripture, preached to him Jesus.
...............
And Philip said, “If you
believe with all your heart, you may.”
The Ethiopian answered and
said, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.”
-nothing was ever preached
about believing Jesus is the son of Joseph "as was *supposed",
and not once was that preached by anyone, including Philip after he knew who
Jesus is... because Phillip supposed Jesus was the bio-son of Joseph when he first met
the Christ.
Recently to my utter
astonishment, I have seen good people advocate that Joseph fathered Jesus
Christ, thus denying Jesus being born of a virgin, i.e. a maiden who said she
had “not known a man”, a Hebrewism for being a virgin.
Matthew 1:18
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was in this way: When His mother Mary was
espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was
found with child of the Holy Ghost.
Mary’s lineage are that she was a descendant of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Luke 3:34); of the tribe of Judah (v 33). She was also a descendant of Boaz (v32) and David (v31). Significantly, Luke traces Mary’s lineage all the way back to Adam (v38).
There is not only the witness
of the word virgin, which some debate,
but the phrase "knew
her not" and "knew her" and "I
know not a man" bear witness to Mary's virginity, Christ's
conception, and Joseph and her coming together AFTER Jesus was born.
Genesis
24:16 And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her:
Leviticus
21:14 A widow, or one divorced, or a
profane woman, a harlot, these shall he not take: but a virgin of his own people
shall he take to wife.
Deniers use
the broader term for “virgin” in Isa. 7:14 to deny the Paternity of GOD the
Father.
Defined as: H1330 בְּתוּלָה
bethûlâh a virgin (from her
privacy); sometimes (by continuation) a bride; also: - maid, virgin. Total KJV occurrences: 50
Various renderings of Isa. 7:14 translate
it “virgin” and or “young woman”.
Mary was *both*.
The Original
Jewish Bible translates it: Therefore
Hashem Himself shall give you an ot (sign); Hinei, HaAlmah (the unmarried young
virgin) shall conceive, and bear Ben, and shall call Shmo Immanu El
(G-d is with us)
The Biblical term
“knew/ know” is used in terms of sexual union.
Judges 19:25 But the men would not hear him: so the man took his concubine, and
brought her forth to them; and they knew her, and abused her all
the night
Genesis 4:1 And the man knew Eve his wife; and she
conceived,
1 Kings
1:4 And the damsel was very fair; and
she cherished the king, and ministered to him; but the king knew her not.
Genesis 4:17 And Cain knew his wife; and
she conceived..
1 Sam 1:19-20 And Elkanah
knew Hannah his wife; and Jehovah remembered her; 20 and it came
to pass, when the time was come about, that Hannah conceived, and bare a
son;
Genesis 19:8 Behold now, I have two
daughters that have not known man ..
Judges 21:12 And they found among the
inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead four hundred
young virgins, that had not known man
by lying with him
Judges
11:39 And at the end of two months, she
returned to her father, who did with her according to his vow which he had
vowed: and she knew not man. (she
remained a virgin all her life)
Matthew 1:24-25 ASV 24 And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did
as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took to him his wife;
25 and knew her not
till she had brought forth a son: and he called his name Jesus.
Luke 1:34
And Mary said to the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
(BECAUSE
SHE WAS A VIRGIN!!!)
35 And the angel answered and said , The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the *power of the Most High shall overshadow you:
wherefore also the holy which is begotten shall be called the Son of God. Our wonderful Savior Jesus was not begotten
by physical seed .
* power: Greek dudamos.

Because
Joseph “knew her not” and she said” How can this be for I KNOW NOT A MAN?” -and Joseph “knew her not till <i.e.
after> Jesus was born”

A
child is the compilation of the mother and the father. Both parents have the
ability to educate and give to a child. There is a three way partnership there;
the mother, the father, and G-d. Finally, the last part of your question was of
patrilineal heritage. If a child's mother is Jewish and their father is not,
they are Jewish.

Why
Is Jewishness Matrilineal? - Maternal Descent In Judaism
The
Code of Jewish Law clearly states that a child of a Jewish mother is Jewish,
regardless of the father's lineage (or whatever else may show up in a DNA
test), while the child of a non-Jewish mother is not Jewish. 1 Matrilineal
descent has been a fundamental principle of Torah since the Jewish people came
into existence.
Jesus
referred to GOD as his “Father” FORTY TWO times (ASV), not once did he
refer to Joseph as his father! (Some people who did not know who Jesus is thought he was Joseph’s begotten son
though.
Adam was created not “begotten”, but Jesus Christ was “begotten” by the power
of GOD in the womb of a virgin.
Jesus has a
God and Father. His Father is The LORD GOD, he said so 42 times, (I counted),
but not once did he refer to Joseph as his Abba.
Our wonderful Savior Jesus was not begotten by physical seed or by
Joseph, the man who was his surrogate earthly father, rather God's WORD was the
seed that conceived Christ.
"THAT WHICH IS IN MARY IS OF THE HOLY GHOST"
Christ was
"begotten" of GOD the Father, as Mary received and believed God's
WORD, as Gabriel delivered it to her.
Jesus said the WORD is seed.
The word that is "seed" is Spirit and Life. It has power.
Luke 8: 10 And he said, to you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom
of God: but to the rest in parables; that seeing they may not see, and hearing
they may not understand.
11 Now the parable is this:
The seed is the word
of God.
Mary
"knew not a man", but she DID receive the Word
from God, the "seed" which had power to cause her to be pregnant with a
holy child.
The reason
Mary was a virgin was because "SHE KNEW NOT a man".
SHE WAS FULFILLING the PROPHECY in Isa.
7:14!
1 Peter 1:23 having been begotten
again,
not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible <seed> ,
through the word of God, which lives and abides.
Did GOD
provide a Messiah through two humans with an iniquity nature in their DNA?
There is no definitive proof for Joseph and Mary conceiving baby Jesus.
Then you have the anecdotal discovery of
Ron Wyatt and the blood, lab tests, and DNA
he found under Calvary Hill in the cave, and the blood tested had 23 “X”
chromosomes from the mother and only one
male “Y” chromosome…. Joseph would have brought 23 Y chromosomes.
Jesus’s life began by the miraculous Power of God and he resurrected by same
power, the WORD that he prophesied from GOD regarding his resurrection.

are some examples we should know that they knew:

Let's insert the Joseph-is-Jesus'-bio-father
in these verses in place of God-The-Father, and demonstrate the fallacy, if not
utter absurdity, of the idea. Please humor me in these "straw man" illustrations.
Let's put Joseph into all those verses like:
John 5:43 I am come
in my Father’s JOSEPHs name, and you receive me not: if another shall
come in his own name, him you will receive.
John 8:19 They said therefore to him, Where is thy
Father Joseph?
Jesus answered, Ye know neither me, nor my Father Joseph :
if ye knew me, ye would know my
Father Joseph also.
John 8:49 Jesus answered, I have not a demon; but I honor my
Father Joseph, and ye dishonor me.
John 14:7 If ye had known
me, ye would have known my Father Joseph also: from
henceforth ye know Joseph, and
have seen him.
Luke 2:49 according to
the error:
And
he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? knew ye not that I
must be in my Father’s Joseph's house?
Unlike a former lying US President,
If Joseph could speak now, he might say "I DID NOT HAVE SEX
WITH THAT YOUNG WOMAN MARY before Jesus was born!"" –but of
course he did say that and it is in the scripture just worded different.
