The Virgin Birth

The Catholics call it the “Immaculate conception”, and yes, they too teach that Mary was a virgin, but she was not “immaculate“, or without sin. This virgin birth is of the utmost significance when it comes to our salvation. Why? Because it was necessary that no man have a part in the birth of Christ, else sin would have passed on to our Lord. The Bible says that sin is passed on from man to man, and generation to generation through natural birth. Look at Romans 5:12: “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:” You see, without the virgin birth, we have no Redeemer! We have no forgiveness of sin, and no perfect sacrifice for it; we are all hopelessly lost except for Calvary, and the fact of the virgin birth; the immaculate Savior was all it took to wipe all sin from our souls. Only He was as a lamb without blemish, and therefore, only he could raise again from the grave, defeating sin and death. Thank God for the virgin birth.

In His book, “The Chemistry of the Blood”, Dr. M.R. Dehaan (a medical doctor), says that the blood of a fetus is always from the father, and not from the mother (this is why doctors can tell who the natural father of a baby is by merely taking a blood test and matching the DNA). Thus, the blood of Christ is Holy blood, and is not tainted by man, but is of The Father! It is His blood that atones for sin, and none else.
