The provided transcripts do not quote the birth accusation directly; Les instead teaches the virgin birth that answers it.
Les describes the Jews as proud descendants of Abraham who constantly accused Jesus of being an imposter, a Samaritan, and demon-possessed. His emphasis in these clips is the virgin birth—Jesus had no human father, His blood came from God, and He was sinless.
John 8:48 — The closest recorded accusation in the clips, where the Jews call Jesus a Samaritan and demon-possessed.
Genesis 3:15 — The promise of the woman's seed that underlies Les's explanation of the virgin birth.
In the Gospel of John, the Jews answer Jesus, 'Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?' (John 8:48). The genealogy of Jesus opens with 'The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham' (Matthew 1:1). And the promised deliverer is described in 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.'
In the provided clips, Les Feldick does not directly quote the Jews saying that they were not born of fornication, nor does he comment on that exact accusation. Instead, he repeatedly explains the virgin birth as the biblical answer. He teaches that God was the father of Jesus' human conception, that no human father was involved, and that Jesus' blood originated with God, making Him sinless and able to die for the sins of the world.
Les teaches that Jesus was born of the woman but not of a human father. He stresses that the mother's blood never enters the fetus, so Jesus' blood came from God. This made Jesus sinless and divine, able to die for the sins of the world. Any accusation that Jesus was illegitimate is contradicted by this biblical record.
Les explains that the Jews were proud of being children of Abraham and did not believe they had a sin problem. When Jesus confronted them, they rejected Him and accused Him of being an imposter, a Samaritan, and demon-possessed. This is the context of their hostility.
No. The closest accusation in the clips is John 8:48, where the Jews call Jesus a Samaritan and demon-possessed. Les does not quote the specific Jewish statement about Jesus' birth in this material. Instead, he uses the virgin birth to show that the human birth of Jesus was sinless from the start.
Jews' Pride in Abrahamic Lineage
Les shows the Jews' genealogical pride and their refusal to see their sin, which fueled their opposition to Jesus.
The Virgin Birth Explained
Les teaches that God impregnated Mary, so Jesus had no human father, making the virgin birth essential for sinlessness.
Joseph as Legal Father
Les explains that Joseph was the legal father while Mary was the physical mother, preserving the Davidic genealogy.
Blood Comes from the Father
Les uses physiology to show that the fetus does not receive the mother's blood, so Jesus' blood came from God.
Promise of the Woman's Seed
Les connects the virgin birth to Genesis 3:15 and Matthew's genealogy.
Jewish Accusation of Demon Possession
Les quotes the Jews accusing Jesus of being a Samaritan and having a demon, illustrating their rejection.
The Virgin Birth as Doctrine
Les says the mother's blood has nothing to do with the fetus, and Jesus' blood was divine and incorruptible.
Sinless Blood of Christ
Les repeats that Christ's blood system originated with the Father, while all other descendants of Adam are under the curse.
John 8:48: Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
This is the accusation the Jews make in the provided clips, though it concerns demon possession rather than birth.
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.
The foundational promise of the woman's seed, which Les ties directly to the virgin birth of Christ.
Matthew 1:1: The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
Les points to this genealogy as the record of Jesus' lineage, showing Joseph as the legal father and Mary as the physical mother.
The provided transcripts do not include Les quoting that specific accusation. He focuses on the virgin birth, which shows Jesus had no human father and was sinless from conception.
In the clips, Les quotes John 8:48, where they say Jesus is a Samaritan and has a devil. This is part of their broader rejection of Him.
He teaches that Jesus' blood came from God the Father, not from Mary, so He was sinless and could die for the sins of the world.
