Yes — the virgin birth is essential to Jesus' divine nature because it gave Him God as His Father, so His blood and sinless nature were divine rather than human.
Les teaches that God impregnated Mary, so Jesus had no human father (Clip 1). Because a mother's blood never enters the fetus and the blood system comes from the father, Jesus received His blood directly from God (Clips 2, 3, 4, 5, 7). Thus He was fully human through Mary yet sinless and divine, with untainted blood that could atone for the world's sins.
Genesis 3:15 — This verse promises a unique 'seed of the woman,' which Les explains requires a virgin birth so Christ had no human father's blood.
Matthew 1:1 — It introduces Jesus as the son of David and Abraham, establishing His legal right to David's throne, as Les explains from the genealogy.
Luke 3:38 — It traces the human line back to Adam, showing Jesus' full humanity while Les explains this genealogy is Mary's line.
The Bible presents the genealogies and the promise that reveal the divine-human nature of Christ. Matthew 1:1 shows Jesus as the son of David and son of Abraham, connecting Him to the covenanted royal line. Luke 3:38 traces the ancestry back to Adam, called the son of God. Genesis 3:15 records God's promise of enmity between the serpent and the woman's seed. These passages, while not detailing the biological mechanics of the virgin birth, establish that Jesus came through the woman and was born under the promises of God.
Les explains that the virgin birth was God the Father directly impregnating Mary, so Jesus had no human father at all (Clip 1). Because no human father was involved, Jesus did not receive the Adamic curse or a tainted blood system. Les repeatedly emphasizes the physiological fact that a mother's blood never enters her fetus; the fetus's blood comes from the father (Clips 2, 3, 4, 5, 7). Consequently, Jesus' blood circulatory system originated with God His Father, making His blood divine, sinless, and untainted. He was fully human through Mary—He ate, slept, and had the same appetites—but without sin. Les also points to the two genealogies (Clip 0): Matthew shows Joseph's legal line to David's throne, while Luke traces Mary's physical line back to Adam. This combination shows how Jesus could be the promised seed of the woman (Genesis 3:15) and the rightful King of Israel, while being divine in nature.
Les explains that Jesus could be born of a woman without the effects of the curse because He had no human father. He was human — with the same appetites, eating, sleeping — yet sinless and divine (Clip 1). His blood system originated with God, so His divine nature was preserved (Clip 4).
Les points out that it is a physiological fact that the mother's blood never courses through the fetus. The entire blood system comes from the father (Clips 2, 3). He notes that even in cattle breeding, the blood of the mother never enters the calf; it comes from the sire (Clips 5, 7). This is why Jesus, having no human father, possessed divine blood.
Matthew 1:1 introduces Jesus as the son of David and Abraham. Luke 3:38 traces the human line to Adam. Les teaches that Matthew's genealogy shows Joseph's legal line to the throne of David, while Luke's genealogy is Mary's, taking the line back to Adam (Clip 0). Jesus had no human father, so His legal kingship came through Joseph, and His humanity came through Mary.
Les says the virgin birth is part of our salvation because it was the only way Jesus could have divine, untainted blood. Had He had a human father, the blood would have been tainted and He could not have atoned for the world's sins (Clip 3). It is basic to salvation (Clips 2, 5).
The Two Genealogies
Les explains that Matthew's genealogy establishes Jesus as the rightful heir to David's throne, while Luke's genealogy (Mary's line) goes back to Adam.
God Impregnated Mary
Les teaches that God directly made Mary pregnant, so Jesus had no human father; His blood came from God, making Him sinless and divine while still human.
Physiological Basis for the Virgin Birth
The mother's blood never goes into the fetus; it comes only from the father. Therefore Jesus' blood was divine, untainted, and incorruptible.
Seed of the Woman
Christ as the seed of the woman had to be virgin born, otherwise the blood from a human father would have tainted His ability to die for the sins of the world.
Divine Blood vs. Adamic Curse
Every child of Adam is under the curse, but because Jesus' blood system originated with God, He had sinless divine blood.
Scientific Evidence
Les cites cattle breeding research showing the mother's blood never enters the calf; the blood system comes from the father, supporting the virgin birth doctrine.
Why Was Jesus Baptized? The Answer Most People Miss
Because if it had been any other way, He couldn't have shed the blood of the Holy Spirit. Verse 23, because it had been spoken again in the Old Testament, Verse 23, Now remember, Jesus is the name of His humanity, of His humility. It's Jesus upon whom is laid the sins of the world. Now, I think I threw it out on the program several months ago.
God's Intrinsic Plan
God designed reproduction so that the father's blood system underlies Christ's virgin birth; Jesus' divine blood came from His Father, God Himself.
Genesis 3:15: And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
This promise of the woman's seed is the foundation of the virgin birth because it indicates a unique birth through the female line, as Les teaches.
Matthew 1:1: The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
This verse introduces Jesus in Matthew's genealogy, establishing His legal right to David's throne.
Luke 3:38: Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.
This verse ends Luke's genealogy with Adam, showing the human race from which Jesus came.
No. Les teaches that God was the one who impregnated Mary, so Jesus became the Son of God through direct divine intervention, without a human father. Joseph was His legal father, but not His physical father.
According to Les, the blood system of a fetus originates with the father, not the mother. Since Jesus' father was God, His blood came from God and was therefore divine, sinless, and untainted by the Adamic curse.
Yes. Les says the virgin birth is basic to our salvation because if Jesus had a human father, His blood would have been tainted and He could not have shed sinless divine blood for the sins of the world.
Through Mary, Jesus was genuinely human. Les points out that He had the same appetites, ate, slept, and lived as we do, but without sin. His humanity came from His mother, and His sinless divine blood came from His Father.
