Jen Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 Q3. (Luke 1:35) What does the virgin conception teach us about Jesus' nature? How central is the doctrine of the virgin conception to the Christian message? That He would be no ordinary man, but born of the Holy Spirit, Holy sinless, pure, God Himself. It is very central. If Christ is not sinless He cannot pay the price for our sins, He must be born of the Holy Spirit and be of a virgin who never knew man. Mary carried what was put in her and only God is pure, Holy, sinless. God Bless! Jen Romans 15:13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeannethebean Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 What does immaculate conception tell us about Jesus' nature? The nature of Jesus is completely different than those born of flesh (myself included). His reaction to insult is/was compassion. His response to evil doers is to pray for them, and die for them. In His own walk He sees that nothing is impossible with God. He always seeks the will of God. He is God, therefore He IS love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antonate Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 The virgin conception teaches us that Jesus was sinless from his birth to death, was filled with the power of the Holy Spirit and submitted to the will of his Father in heaven. The doctrine of virgin conception is central to christian message because here lies the message of salvation of the whole mankind. Jesus was born pure and holy without sin through mary who was a virgin and the power of the Most High was upon him to fulfil the mission of his Father that is to redeem the whole world from sin and reconcile back the mankind to the Father.

charisbarak Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 It is everything. In order for the incarnation to take place, the woman needed to be a virgin and the father would have been God through the Holy Spirit--thus divine and human. If she hadn't been a virgin, the child would have only been human. Also, the divine makes Him sinless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haar Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Q3. (Luke 1:35) What does the virgin conception teach us about Jesus' nature? How central is the doctrine of the virgin conception to the Christian message? Jesus is fully God conceived and born by the power of the Holy Ghost by a human, virgin Mary. The virgin conception is central to the Christian message because it clearly affirms the incarnation- God becoming man and born by a virgin to showing His divine nature.

butch Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 It teaches that JESUS is the HOLY SON of GOD , born of the seed of a woman with no man or sin involved . It shows JESUS' divinity and is the fulfillment of the prophecy written in Isaiah 7:14 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humblejon Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 Jesus was fully human, but since He was conceived and born in the Spirit, Jesus was not born with a sinful nature. He will be part of the divinity yet will feel the same needs, emotions and pains as humans do. Eventually, His actions will make Him our Great intercessor between God and man. The Nicene Creed is central to Christianity and states that Jesus was of the same nature and essence as God the Father; therefore, Jesus was fully divine while fully human, God in the flesh, God incarnate.

WinstonY Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Q3. (Luke 1:35) What does the virgin conception teach us about Jesus' nature? How central is the doctrine of the virgin conception to the Christian message? "The angel answered, 'The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.'" (1:35) In the same way as the Holy Spirit came upon the disciples in the upper room on the Day of Pentecost (see Acts 1:8) so the Holy Spirit came upon Mary - this same word is used of the Holy Spirit. Really is the one much more of a miracle than the other -the immaculate conception or the conception of the power of the Holy Spirit in Acts 1.8? Thus Jesus is " the one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds, Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father" Really not very central. The power of the Holy Spirit in the world and its power over people is what is central. After Easter morning, after Pentecost the disciples knew that something had happened to them . It was a miracle and the disciples were just trying to explain what had happened. winstony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia A Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit and not by the union of male and female. Jesus is God in the flesh--even though in human flesh He was God and thereby not conceived in usual way of man. This is a central belief in the Christian faith.

Donna Marie Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 The concept of the virgin birth teaches us that Jesus was incarnate of God: becoming man through the power and spirit of the Most High. Jesus, the Son of God and St. Mary the Virgin, is the basis of the Christian faith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Jerry Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 The virgin conception teaches us that Jesus’ nature is that of God. No man was with Mary and so there was no jeans transferred from a man. The doctrine of the virgin conception is one of the main doctrines to the Christian message.

Rosesam Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 Q3. (Luke 1:35) What does the virgin conception teach us about Jesus' nature? How central is the doctrine of the virgin conception to the Christian message? The virgin birth of Jesus Christ is the most singular, spectacular, momentous event in human history. Adam was the son of God, made in the image of God. But when he had his children, they were in his likeness, (Genesis 5), marred because of the fall. But when the last Adam came, He is called the Son of God, truly begotten of the Father. If it was not a virgin birth, He would have inherited the sin nature of Adam, whereby His death on the cross would not have resulted in our salvation. Moreover in Genesis 3:15, which is the proto evangeliuum, the first mention of the gospel, it would be the seed of the woman that would crush the head of satan. Women, by nature do not have seed, for it is the man that has the seed. So to fulfill prophecy, Jesus had to be born of a virgin. In order to identify with man and take his sins, Jesus, who is God Himself, has to become man, and thus had to be born as a babe into humanity. But virgin birth allowed Him not to inherit the sin nature of Adam, and thus became the perfect substitute for us to take away our sin, pay its penalty on the Cross and give us salvation.
