It is clear to me that the Bible does not put forth a virgin birth story as it has been handed down through the ages, omitting Joseph as the physical father of Jesus.
So, in 2018 I put forth a Biblical response to the most frequently asked questions surrounding not only the New Testament passages directly related to the conception/birth of Jesus Christ, but also some of the Old Testament passages often used to support the Virgin Birth doctrinal position.
A Second Website
Read this alternate, reasoned Biblical explanation of the conception & birth of Jesus Christ story at NoVirginBirth.com.
My hope in doing this project was to remedy the reputation of the New Testament, which I believe has been marred by inherited false doctrines being foisted upon its text.
I hope to give those sincerely seeking the truth an opportunity to see how what the Bible says on this matter through a different set of eyes: my own.
There is no virgin birth in the Bible.
Jesus is the physical son of Joseph & Mary, just like the Bible says.
Round-Table Discussion Recording
In 2018 my husband and I had also hosted round-table discussions on various topics in our Zoom room. One of them related to the Virgin Birth subject is the Lineage in Luke: Jesus, the Son of God (Luke 3:23-38)
Self-Paced Bible Study Guides
In 2017 I began developing two Biblical Study Guides on The Birth of Jesus Christ: Before the Conception (Luke 1) and Before the Birth (Matthew 1) to encourage and assist in the personal study of the Biblical texts pertaining to the matter of Yeshua’s physical conception and birth.
Here are some Excerpts from the development of these guides:
- The Birth of Jesus Christ – Before the Birth (Matthew 1):
This project was put on hold in late 2018. I hope to pick it back up in late 2024. Stay tuned. 🙂
In-Depth Comprehensive Biblical Study
In 2017 I launched a new project called Dismantling the Virgin Birth Doctrine: A Seven Session Series.
It was a Biblical study using the Septuagint, and Apocryphal literature, in conjunction with the Book of Enoch and New Testament testimony in the case against the Virgin Birth Doctrine. The project’s outline is as follows:
INTRODUCING: Dismantling the Virgin Birth Doctrine
Part One: Dismantling the Virgin Birth Doctrine from the Old Testament
- Session I: In the Beginning (Read Introduction)
- Session II: Promises Made & the Roles of Christ
- Session III: Marriage and Family
- Session IV: Promises Kept & the Christ to Come
Part Two: Dismantling the Virgin Birth from the New Testament
- Session V: The Birth of Jesus Christ: According to Luke & Acts
- Session VI: The Birth of Jesus Christ: According to Matthew
- Session VII: Additional New Testament Testimony
Bonus: A Look at Extra-Biblical Texts
This project was put on hold in 2018 before completion.
Efforts are now being made to pick this project back up, revise what needs revision and begin its completion to date in the fall & winter of 2024-2025. Stay tuned.
