Id be happy to transmit directly on the subject of the nature of Christ, so expect an email. Thanks!
BOAZ_David,
I can respect your position as I grew up [and remain] in a church and attended Bible College that believed in the virgin birth meaning God fertilised the ovum within Mary. In a biblical sense He did, by His approval and Jesus being the chosen Christ, this is evidence by his mighty deeds.
However Zacharias the Priest determined the role for Mary that she was to be fertilised of the seed of David. [Read the first hand accounts from the family of Joseph recorded by James the elder step brother of Jesus and you will discover that Mary was artificially inseminated by collected sperm from young men from the lineage of David by an appointed messenger from the Temple with whom Mary was well aquainted.]
The seed of David means just that, it is the fertlising component of sperm from the lineage of David. Mary did not fertlise the ovum within her as she was also of the royal tribe of Judah. Zecharias John the Baptisers father was in close contact with the Essenes, and the Essenes used artificial insemination when desiring children so as to retain their religious purity.
Salome who was the midwife at the birth of Jesus verified that the hymen was intact which meant that Mary had not engaged in normal sexual intercourse with a man. This was respectful of Mary's own vow of chastity.
Quote, "Philo, you seem to have the view that Jesus was conceived 'naturally' as in a human father. I reject this on the basis of scripture. Mary was a virgin, clearly stated mate. See commentary on Luke 1:18 I think and that area."
