Bible Story of the Day: Born of a Virgin

I’ve never noticed there’s anything different about the virgin birth than man not believing many doctrines of the faith. Look at what goes on here, day in and day out. You see a lot more rapture and Trinity scoffers, than virgin birth scoffers, or a mountain of false, legalistic doctrines of devils, denying a likewise mountain of scripture. Even among so-called Christians, those not born again of the Holy Spirit do not understand the things of God, but by fragments they can reconcile with their carnal viewpoints and that self that is really on the throne of their lives, their private religiosity not of Christ. I have many times seen such people try and reconcile evolution with creation, that don’t believe in the power of God to instantaneously create, 2 Timothy 3:1-5, though they would not seem to dispute many instantaneous miracles of the Lord Jesus, or perhaps just keep a lid on that? But you’ve heard things, too, that try to explain away anything and everything, the blood turned to water in Egypt red tide, the flood a local event they can make more sense of, a Jesus that is deity lite, another creature, as if just a baptism that stuck better between themselves and Christ, that is, a Christ created in Bethlehem or even at baptism and not the Old Testament, Creator Lord from eternity, etc. I’ve not noticed a single sound doctrine that is not attacked, by not only the unbelieving world, but purported Christians, that simply don’t seem to believe the Bible.

Put it this way, I’ve never known a true Christian that disputes the virgin birth. This is even a doctrine in the charter of most church congregations, a fundamental belief, based on clear, unambiguous scripture, of both Protestants and Catholics. Anybody who doesn’t believe in the virgin birth is even making a most plain scripture doctrine, one can’t morph away, a lie and God a liar. I wouldn’t call such a person a Christian, but, then again, I don’t believe in this concept of your non-spiritual, carnal Christian, either, that is touted as one with zero evidence of the Spirit or any progressive sanctification of the Spirit evident, and because that variety carnal Christian is neither in scripture, the whole gospel saying something quite different of evildoers, practicing unrepentant sinners, paying lip service to God out of one side of their mouths, but denying His word out of the other. Yet, you hear taught of these “skin of the teeth” so-called Christians, whose works all get burned up, and they don’t, therefore, get a yoyo in heaven? The world is full of such Christians who daily have no time for God, nor really believe in virgin births and the like, or they would have real fear of our omnipotent God and Creator the Lord Jesus is, would think twice about calling Him a liar in anything whatsoever He said, or any likewise inspired scripture of the Word of God. If the Christian faith were simply, “Alright. I’ll say I believe in Jesus, then. Now, drinks a around at the bar! Wonder who Mary was really fooling around with?”, the New Testament would be a pamphlet and God would be very verbose, as well as deceptive. Whoever their god, it is not the God of the Bible, whatever their faith not the faith of the Bible nor any real trust in God.

Scripture doesn’t say the pamphlet is enough:

Matthew 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

Matthew 15:8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

Luke 6:46 Why do you call me Lord but don’t do what I tell you?

Titus 1:16 They claim to know God, but they deny him by what they do. They are detestable, disobedient, and unfit to do anything good.

Matthew 7:21-23 Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

1 John 3:6 Those who live in Christ don’t go on sinning. Those who go on sinning haven’t seen or known Christ.

1 John 3:8-10 The person who practices sin belongs to the evil one, because the Devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason that the Son of God was revealed was to destroy what the Devil has been doing. No one who has been born from God practices sin, because God’s seed abides in him. Indeed, he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born from God. This is how God’s children and the Devil’s children are distinguished. No person who fails to practice righteousness and to love his brother is from God.

James 2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

James 4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

Revelation 22:15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

Actually, if you can get past this Genesis verse, where could there be a problem with anything else, if you believe God?

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

That seems quite the job, creating the vast universe and all life. So why couldn’t you make a virgin pregnant, if you can create a man and a woman, as well as the globe, teeming with life, you set them on? Maybe you know “Christians” who haven’t gotten past the first verse of scripture?
