The Virgin Birth Of Jesus

A virgin giving birth to Jesus, the Saviour of the world, is a very important salvation doctrine. The King James Bible properly says that, “a virgin shall conceive”. Isaiah 7:14 is a wonderful prophecy that declared the coming Saviour, Jesus, being born of a virgin. If Jesus was born as a natural man with a natural father, like Joseph, He could not save us from our sins. Jesus would have been born spiritually dead. Adam passed his sin nature to all of his natural human descendents, Romans 5:8-17. If Jesus was just a natural man, He would have a sinful nature. But, Jesus was not born with a man’s sinful nature. God, the Holy Ghost, came upon Mary when she was a virgin to conceive Jesus in her womb, Luke 1:26-35. Jesus does not have the normal spirit of a man. His Spirit is the Holy Spirit, Romans 8:9. A mother does not provide any life-giving blood to her child, Leviticus 17:11. Therefore, Mary did not pass her sin nature on to Jesus, Luke 1:46, 47. A child’s sin nature is passed from the father to the child through the father’s blood. Jesus did not have the blood of a human father in His veins. Jesus was born with the very blood of God in his veins, Acts 20:28. Jesus was born with the flesh of man, provided by Mary, but He was born with the Spirit of God in Him and the blood of God flowing through his veins. Jesus was born as God in the flesh, Immanuel. The King James Bible confirms that Jesus was to be born of a virgin in the New Testament, Matthew 1:18-25. Some of the perversions of the Bible do state in some verses that Jesus would be born of a virgin. But, the reader is left with doubt and confusion because of the contradictory words and footnotes in other verses. The virgin birth of Jesus is stated consistently and clearly in the King James Bible. The virgin birth of Jesus made it possible for Jesus to save sinful men.

CORRECT: 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.” (King James Bible)

Many modern versions of the Bible have perverted the salvation doctrine of the virgin birth of Jesus. Some of these perversions have stated in a note that instead of a virgin giving birth to a son it would be simply a young woman or a maiden. A young woman or a maiden giving birth to a son happens every day. This would not be a miracle birth. In fact, a prostitute could be called a young woman or a maiden. This can cast doubt into a person’s mind about the virgin birth of Jesus. Since many Jews only read the Old Testament, these corrupt notes could cause them to miss the beautiful prophecy about the virgin birth of Jesus. The Living Bible completely destroys the prophecy about the virgin birth of Jesus. It says in a footnote that the son prophesied to be born was Isaiah’s son. The Revised Standard Version and the New Revised Standard Version replace “virgin” in Isaiah 7:14 with “young woman”. In a footnote, they say it could be a virgin. But, the trouble is that most people do not read the footnotes. “Virgin” is the proper word in Isaiah 7:4. It should not be replaced by “young woman” or “maiden”. This corrupts the salvation doctrine of the virgin birth for the reader. Our advise to you is only read the King James Bible if you want to properly build your faith and not get confused by contradictions in the perverted “Bible” versions. Notice, below, some of the perversions of Isaiah 7:14 in poplar modern “Bible” translations:

PERVERSION: Isaiah 7:14 “Therefore the Lord himself will give you[c] a sign: The virgin[d] [Footnote – Or young woman] will conceive and give birth to a son, and[e] will call him Immanuel. [f]” (New International Version)

PERVERSION: Isaiah 7:14 “Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a [l] [Footnote – or maiden] virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name [m] Immanuel.” (New American Standard Bible)

PERVERSION: Isaiah 7:14 “All right then, the Lord himself will choose the sign—a child shall be born to a virgin![c] [Footnote – a child shall be born to a virgin. The controversial Hebrew word used here sometimes means “virgin” and sometimes “young woman.” Its immediate use here refers to Isaiah’s young wife and her newborn son (8:1-4). This, of course, was not a virgin birth.] And she shall call him Immanuel (meaning, “God is with us”).” (Living Bible)

PERVERSION: Isaiah 7:14 “Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, a young woman[b] [Footnote – or virgin] shall conceive and bear[c] a son, and shall call his name Imman′u-el.[d]” (Revised Standard Version)

PERVERSION: Isaiah 7:14 “Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Look, the young woman[e] [Footnote – Gk the virgin]is with child and shall bear a son, and shall name him Immanuel.[f]” (New Revised Standard Version)

PERVERSION: Isaiah 7:14 “The Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin[c] [Footnote – virgin The Hebrew word means “a young woman.” Often this meant a girl who was not married and had not yet had sexual relations with anyone.] will be pregnant. She will have a son, and she will name him Immanuel.[d]” (New Century Version)

CORRECT: Luke 1:26-35 “And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, ²⁷ To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. ²⁸ And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. ²⁹ And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. ³⁰ And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. ³¹ And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. ³² He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: ³³ And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. ³⁴ Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? ³⁵ 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. (King James Bible)

CORRECT: Matthew 1:18-25 “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. ¹⁹ Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. ²⁰ 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. ²¹ And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. 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. ²⁴ Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: ²⁵ And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.” (King James Bible)
