Some folk posit that Mary was, in some manner, a sort of surrogate mother,
i.e. Jesus' embryo was an implant. Others sincerely believe that Mary's baby
was an alternate species of human life totally unrelated to her own, i.e.
another Adam, so to speak; basing their posit on 1Cor 15:45.
But the Bible testifies that Jesus Christ was Mary's honest to gosh, bona fide
biological progeny.
Q: How can you be so sure that Jesus Christ was produced from his mother's
human egg, viz: her ovum?
A: Not only the Bible; but also the science of Biology bears that out.
Christ is stated to be born of David's seed-- not spiritual seed, rather,
human seed.
● Acts 13:22-23 . . "I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine
own heart, which shall fulfill all my will". Of this man's seed hath God,
according to His promise, raised unto Israel a savior, Jesus
● Rom 1:1-3 . . Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David
according to the flesh
The koiné Greek word for "seed" in those two passages is sperma (sper'
mah) which in males typically refers to their reproductive stuff and/or their
genetic material.
Bear in mind that we're talking about flesh here; not spirit; viz: an honest to
gosh human being rather than a spirit being; nor-- God forbid --an avatar.
Now, in order for Christ to descend from David's flesh, one of his biological
descendants had to be involved. So then, seeing as how Jesus was virgin
conceived, then his mother became the default progenitor, i.e. Mary was one
of David's granddaughters.
● Luke 1:31 . . Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son
An implanted embryo isn't a conceived embryo. Conception takes place in a
woman's womb when her ovum is involved in the process.
● Heb 7:14 . . It is clear that our Lord arose from Judah
Q: If Jesus Christ really was David's biological progeny; then wouldn't his
mom have passed the guilt of Adam's sin to him?
A: Yes; absolutely, because the whole entirety of Adam's posterity--
regardless of age, race, or gender --is automatically condemned for tasting
the forbidden fruit.
Note the grammatical tense of the passage below-- it's past tense; indicating
that the moment Adam tasted the forbidden fruit, he and his posterity
became guilty of tasting it-- in real time --including those of his family yet to
be born.
● Rom 5:12 . . Sin entered the world through one man, and death through
sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned
● Rom 5:19 . .Through the disobedience of the one man, the many were
made sinners.
Well; the trick is: though Adam's disobedience made his posterity sinners; it
didn't make them sinful: that's something else altogether. We're not talking
about the so-called "fallen nature" here, we're just talking about joint
principals in Adam's act of disobedience.
The good news is: Adam's sin is not a sin unto hell. No; it's very simple to
clear his sin off the books seeing as how mortality is the proper satisfaction
of justice for what he did (Gen 2:16-17). The satisfaction of justice for his
posterity's own personal sins is another matter.
Q: If Jesus Christ was made a joint principal in Adam's slip-up, then how can
it be honestly said that Christ was a lamb without blemish or spot?
A: Adam's slip made Christ culpable right along with his fellow men, yes; but
it didn't make him sinful. In point of fact; Christ committed no personal sins
of his own. (John 8:29, 2Cor 5:21, Heb 4:15, 1Pet 2:22)
Q: What was the secret to his success?
A: Jesus Christ is a mysterious amalgam of human and divine. Not only did
he descend from David according to the flesh, but Christ also descended
from God according to the Spirit. (Luke 1:32-35). That is quite an advantage
because according to 1John 3:9, that which is born of God not only doesn't
sin, but cannot sin.
