What I find a whack is this whole assumption because Christ is the immortal son of God, some evangelicals dismiss all the references to Mary being his Mother. Mary is indeed his Mother, and Christ's mortal line stems from Jesse, David's father.
I'd love to see scriptural references to Mary not being His mother.??? Anyone??
Although Jesus grew in the womb of Mary, in the same manner as any baby, he was different from all other babies. It appears that he was not genetically related to either Mary or Joseph, for both had an inherited sin nature. Jesus was sinless, and one may reasonably assume without genetic flaw, since he was to serve as the spotless and sacrificial Lamb of God.
▪ Ever since the Creation, each subsequent life has been created at the moment of conception. Scientifically, the new entity begins at the moment the DNA of man and woman combine. This was not the case with Jesus. As a spirit and part of the Trinity, Jesus existed before the Creation of the world. In fact, John reveals that he is the Creator (John 1).
▪ Furthermore, the physical body of Jesus as born in Bethlehem was clearly a special creation of God, placed in Marys womb. This is the biblical doctrine of the Virgin Birth.
Thus, neither Christs spirit nor his body must have resulted from the DNA of Marys egg or from any mans sperm. Both would have contained inherited genetic defects and the sin nature. As Scripture tells us, Jesus was truly the Second Adam. The first Adam was a special creation of God (not related to any human being), and so was the second Adam (Romans 5:12-19).
Jesus was just as fully human as the first Adam. And just like the first Adam, he had no sin nature, no inherited sin, no sinful flesh, which has always been passed from one generation to the next since Adam and Eves sin. He was absolutely pure and without sinfrom the day he was born, till the day he died. He had to behe was the Lamb of God, without blemish or spot, sacrificed for sins (John 1:29).
