Jesus of Nazareth
Immanuel
"Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign:
Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son,
and she will call His name Immanuel."
The virgin birth: The historic and authentic reality of the virgin birth is supported by numerous passages of scripture. It is my view that this was a genuine miracle and a sign to us from God based on my Christian faith and the clear evidence from the bible. The depth of the wisdom of the virgin birth is immeasurable and to deny the numerous pieces of evidence is to not believe in miracles or the wisdom of God, which to me is foolish.
Jesus Christ was begotten and not created the same way God created Adam and Eve or even angels. Christ was born of a woman like you and I but His Father is God and His conception was from the Holy Spirit. The Angel Gabriel spoke to Mary and said to her; "The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Most High will over shadow you." Lk1:35. The Angel of the Lord also spoke to Joseph in a dream and said. "What is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit." Matt1:20. Jesus is the only begotten Son of the Father. John1:14

Quote: The wonderful connection of two so infinitely differing natures in the unity of one person and how it was there affected; is an inquisition fitter for an Angelical intelligence, than our shallow capacity to look after, to which purpose we may also observe, that in the fabric of the Arc of the Covenant, the posture of the faces of the Cerubims toward the Mercy-seat, a type of our Savior, was such, as would point unto us, that these are things of which - "Angels desire to look into." 1Peter1:12 - By: James Ussher (1581-1656).
The bible teaches that Jesus was both God and man, "and the Word/God became flesh/Jesus" John1:14. The issue concerning the virgin birth is, "oringinal sin." Jesus is the perfect sinless man because the sin of Adam was not passed on to Him through birth, like it is for you and I. The evidence of scripture upholds the Deity and the virgin birth of Jesus Christ. If you wish to read more on this subject; Executable outlines.org, "Why I believe"

Conclusion: Most fair-minded people will grant the fact that the bible clearly teaches that Jesus Christ was virgin born. After you boil the cabbage down the argument then remains whether or not you believe what the bible teaches is true or false. From my Christian point of view the virgin birth is the wisdom of God but to the unbeliever it is foolishness.
Application: The Christian faith includes the belief in miracles, signs and wonders and the virgin birth is a part of that belief. The True Gospel is that Jesus Christ died for sinners like you and I, and I pray that God will open your spiritual eyes today that you may hear and believe the Good News.
