Yes — the virgin birth is essential to salvation because it gave Jesus divine, sinless blood rather than human blood.
Les Feldick explains that a mother's blood never enters the fetus; the blood comes from the father. Since Jesus had no human father — God was His Father — His blood came from God and was divine and sinless. That made Jesus human yet without sin, and able to die for the sins of the world.
Genesis 3:15 — God's promise of the 'seed of the woman' is, per Les Feldick, the starting point of the virgin birth doctrine.
Matthew 1:18 — Records that Mary was found with child of the Holy Spirit before she and Joseph came together.
The Bible records the key facts. In Genesis 3:15, God told the serpent: '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 pointed to a special descendant of the woman. In Matthew 1:18, the birth of Jesus is described: 'Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.' These verses show that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit before Mary and Joseph had come together, and that His birth was the fulfillment of the seed-of-the-woman promise. Scripture does not spell out the physiological mechanics of the virgin birth; it simply records the supernatural conception and the promised seed.
Les Feldick teaches that the virgin birth is the essential foundation for how Jesus could be a sinless Savior. He appeals to physiology: in the womb, the mother's blood does not enter the fetus; the fetal blood system comes from the father (clips 1, 3, 4). Therefore, since God was Jesus' Father, His blood system originated with God, not with the human element (clips 2, 3, 7). Mary carried the child, but her corrupt, human blood never coursed through Him (clips 4, 6). Because the seed came from the woman — the ovum — Jesus was fully human, with human appetites and needs, yet without sin (clips 2, 5). Because His blood came from God, it was divine blood, sinless blood, with the power of the Eternal Godhead in it (clips 3, 7). This is why Christ could die for the sins of the world: a human father's blood would have tainted His divine ability to be the Redeemer (clip 1). Les traces this entire truth back to God's promise in Genesis 3:15 of the 'seed of the woman' (clip 4).
Les Feldick says the fetal blood system never receives blood from the mother; the blood comes from the father (clips 1, 3, 4). This is why the virgin birth matters: since God was the Father, Jesus' blood system originated with God, not from Mary (clips 2, 5). Mary's own blood — which Les describes as corrupt, since she was a sinner like all of Adam's descendants — never coursed through the baby Jesus (clips 4, 6).
Jesus was sinless because His blood was not the blood of a human father. Since His blood system came from God, it was divine, sinless blood, untouched by the corruption that every child of Adam inherits (clip 3). He was born of the woman, so He was human, but without the curse that came through the human father (clip 2). Thus the virgin birth preserved both His full humanity and His sinlessness.
Les Feldick teaches that because Jesus had no human father, His blood originated with God and carried all the power of the Eternal Godhead (clip 7). His blood system did not originate with the human element; it originated with God (clip 2). This divine blood is what believers place their faith in for forgiveness (clip 7).
Mary's Conception by the Holy Spirit
Readers see the biblical record that Mary was found with child of the Holy Spirit before she and Joseph came together, grounding the virgin birth.
Why the Blood Could Not Come from a Human Father
Les explains that the mother's blood never enters the fetus and the blood comes from the father, so if Jesus had a human father His blood would have been tainted and He could not die for the world's sins.
God as Jesus' Father
God impregnated Mary, so the Lord Jesus had no human father; His blood circulatory system originated with God, making Him sinless and divine even though He was human.
Divine, Sinless Blood
Every human fetus's blood originates with the father, and so Christ's blood system originated with the Father; His blood was divine and sinless, unlike the blood of Adam's offspring.
Mary's Blood Did Not Enter Jesus
Les underscores that Mary's corrupt blood as a sinner never coursed through the baby Jesus; His blood came from His Father, fulfilling the Genesis 3:15 seed-of-the-woman promise.
Genealogies Confirm the Virgin Birth
The two genealogies show Joseph as legal father and Mary as physical mother; Christ's blood came from God, but He was human through the ovum of the woman.
Mary Was Not Sinless
Les emphasizes that Mary was a fallen, sinful creature like all of Adam's line; the Redeemer still had to come through the woman.
The Power in Christ's Divine Blood
Jesus had no human blood; His blood was divine and carried all the power of the Eternal Godhead, and believers must place faith in that blood.
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.
God's promise that the seed of the woman would defeat the serpent; Les points here as the origin of the virgin birth.
Matthew 1:18: Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
The gospel record that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit before Mary and Joseph came together.
Because if Jesus had a human father, His blood would have come from a human father and would have been tainted, defeating His ability to die for the sins of the world. Les teaches that the blood comes from the father, so God was Jesus' Father to give Him divine blood (clips 1, 2).
No. Les Feldick says the mother's blood never courses through the fetus; the circulatory system comes from the father. Mary carried Jesus, but her corrupt, sinful blood never entered His veins (clips 1, 3, 4).
The Bible records the supernatural conception of Jesus by the Holy Spirit (Matthew 1:18) and the promise of the seed of the woman (Genesis 3:15). The physiological explanation — that the father supplies the fetus's blood — is teaching from Les Feldick built on that scriptural foundation (clips 0, 1, 4).
