The virgin birth is essential to Christ's divine nature because He received divine, sinless blood from His Father, God, rather than from a human father.
Les Feldick teaches that in every pregnancy, the mother's blood never enters the fetus—the blood system comes from the father. Since God was Jesus' Father and Mary had no human husband, Christ's blood originated with God, making His blood divine and sinless. This is why the virgin birth is basic to salvation.
Genesis 3:15 — God's first promise of a Redeemer identifies the coming One as 'the seed of the woman,' which directly sets up the necessity of the virgin birth and connects to Christ's divine nature.
In Genesis 3:15, God declares to the serpent, "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 is the first promise of a Redeemer. The verse says "her seed"—the offspring of the woman—will bruise the serpent's head. It does not say the man's seed, which makes this promise unique.
Les Feldick teaches that the virgin birth is the physiological basis for Christ's divine nature. He explains that in every human pregnancy, the mother's blood never enters the fetus—the blood circulatory system comes entirely from the father. Because Mary was impregnated by God and had no human husband, Jesus' blood system originated with God, not with a human male. This made His blood divine, sinless, untainted, and incorruptible. Les also shows that God planned this from the beginning. Since the curse of sin passes through the father's blood line, Christ had to be born of a woman without a human father in order to escape that curse. The woman's reproductive cells did not carry the curse, so the virgin birth enabled the Redeemer to be fully human yet without sin. For Les, this is why the virgin birth is basic to salvation: Jesus could not have been the sinless sacrifice if His blood had come from a human father. Instead, His divine blood carried all the power of the Eternal Godhead, and believers are called to place their faith in that blood.
In Genesis 3:15, God tells the serpent, "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." Les Feldick explains that this is the first promise of a Redeemer and that "the seed of the woman" is Christ, who defeated Satan at the cross (the head bruised) while suffering there Himself (the heel bruised). This "seed of the woman" language points to a birth through the woman alone, setting the stage for the virgin birth.
Les Feldick repeatedly teaches the physiological fact that a mother's blood never enters her unborn child; the entire circulatory system of the fetus comes from the father. He applies this to the virgin birth: since Jesus had no human father, His blood system originated with God, making His blood divine and sinless. He notes that the same principle is seen in animal breeding, confirming that the father provides the blood system.
Les explains that the line of the curse comes through the blood, through the father. Every human being is a born sinner because of inherited sin from the father. God had to "insulate the seed of the woman from the curse" so the Redeemer could be born of a woman yet be sinless. Since the woman's reproductive cells did not carry the curse, God accomplished this through the virgin birth.
Because God was Jesus' Father, and because the father supplies the blood system of a fetus, Jesus had no human blood—it was divine. Les says this divine blood had all the power of the Eternal Godhead in it, which is why believers must place their faith in His blood. This is the basis of the virgin birth's importance for salvation.
Seed of the Woman Promise
Les identifies the 'seed of the woman' in Genesis 3:15 as Christ, who bruised the serpent's head at the cross while suffering in His heel.
Fetal Blood Principle
Les bases the virgin birth doctrine on the physiological fact that a mother's blood never enters the fetus; the blood comes from the father, so Jesus' blood was divine, untainted, and incorruptible.
Divine Blood from the Father
Les confirms with animal breeding science that the father supplies the entire blood system, so Jesus, having God as His Father, had divine blood—not human blood.
Virgin Birth, Sinless and Divine
Les teaches that God impregnated Mary, so Christ was born of a woman without a human father, escaping the curse and being both sinless and divine while still truly human.
Divine Blood vs. Adam's Curse
Les applies the fetal blood principle to show that Christ's blood originated with God, making it divine and sinless, while every child of Adam is sold under the curse.
Physiology and Genealogy
Les shows the virgin birth fits scientifically because the father supplies the blood system, and the genealogies trace Christ's legal and physical lines through Joseph and Mary back to David.
Curse Through the Father
Les teaches that the curse comes through the male blood line, so God insulated the seed of the woman from the curse to bring the Redeemer who would be sinless.
Power of Divine Blood
Les explains that since God was Christ's Father, His blood was divine and carried all the power of the Eternal Godhead, making faith in His blood essential.
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 verse records God's first promise of a Redeemer and uses the unique phrase 'the seed of the woman,' pointing to the virgin birth and the divine nature of Christ.
According to Les Feldick, the mother's blood never enters the fetus. The entire blood circulatory system of the fetus comes from the father. This physiological fact is why Christ, with God as His Father, had divine blood rather than human blood.
Because the curse of sin comes through the human father's blood line. If Jesus had had a human father, His blood would have been human and under the curse. The virgin birth allowed Him to be born of the woman without receiving the curse, making Him sinless and divine.
Yes. Since the father supplies the blood system in a fetus, and Jesus' Father was God, His blood was divine, untainted, incorruptible, and carried the power of the Eternal Godhead. That is why the Bible's emphasis on His blood is so important for salvation.
