1 definition by Joshua Ben Joseph
A New Testament doctrine wherein Mary concieved Jesus Christ without having sex.
See MATTHEW 1:18-25 & LUKE 1:26-35.
See MATTHEW 1:18-25 & LUKE 1:26-35.
For some reason, most Christians believe that since Mary did not have sex with Joseph (or anyone else) then Joseph cannot be Jesus' father. But, the Bible clearly says that Joseph was Jesus' father.
LUKE 3:23,
"Jesus began His ministry when He was about 30 years old. He was, as was supposed, the son of Joseph, who was the son of Heli."
Many read the above verse as though it says, "...He was NOT, as was supposed, the son of Joseph...". Even though Jesus was a product of Immaculate Conception, Yahweh could have taken DNA from Joseph to create Jesus, similar to when He took a rib from Adam to form Eve.
Jesus often refers to Himself as "the son of (a) man". Below are just references from the book of MATTHEW.
MATTHEW 8:20, 9:6, 11:19, 12:32, 13:37,41, 16:13,27,28, 17:9,12,22, 18:11, 19:28, 20:28, 24:27,30,39, 25:31, 26:24, 26:45,64,
