Does the Inspired word of YHVH (The Eternal Creator) truly teach "The
Virgin Birth" and "Immaculate Conception" or a completely different
doctrine?
Note: First of all, no human being, that has ever been born
from the womb, was born "A Sinner." However, ALL human
beings were born immersed "into" sin. This is Satan's
(Humanity's or Satan's Natural) world for now, and to be born
"into" this world is to be immersed "into" a world where it is
human nature to sin. So what is "Sin" anyway? Sin is "Self-
centeredness" versus "YHVH Centeredness." However,
"Original Sin" is a completely false doctrine unto itself.
Therefore the real question is (Click Link) "Do Babies Sin?"
The answer is no!
A "Seeker of Truth" can still Spiritually discern most of the truth from the
highly biased translations of the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) of
the 'So Called' New Testament, which is at least a third level translation of
the Apostolic Writings or Epistles (that have mysteriously vanished); which
were originally translated by uninspired hellenized (pagan by choice) Jews,
and canonized by the ancient Roman universal (catholic) church, and
government (of Roman god and Emperor Constantine fame). So rather than just
have those who seek truth from taking my word for it, I have decided to
show that there are loopholes in the highly biased (so called) New
Testament translations.
IF Scripture was 100 percent literal then a literal translation may bring you
the "Good News", but Scripture is mostly allegorical. See "Parables and
Parallels" (Parallel Meanings).
1Corinthians 2:14
But the natural (uninspired or pagan or hellenized) man does not
receive the things (Fruits of the Spirit: wisdom, understanding, patience,
love, etc.) of the Spirit of G-d: for they are foolishness unto him:
neither can he know them, because they are Spiritually
Discerned (Not Hebraically Discerned).
John 16:13
Howbeit, when the Spirit of truth, is come, it will guide you into all
truth: for it shall not speak of itself; but whatsoever it shall hear, that
shall it speak: and it will shew you things to come.
Note: The personal pronoun "He" was added to the King James
and subsequent English versions of the Bible whenever "The Holy
Spirit" was the topic, but the Greek language reveals that "The Holy
Spirit" is YHVH's "Righteousness Seeking Mindset," and not a third
person of the pagan trinity.
Matthew 1:16-25
Jacob became the father of Joseph, (who was) the husband of
16
Miryam (Mary), from whom (Joseph & Miryam) was born (Strong's
#G1080, Gennao, procreated or begotten as a property of the father or sire,
Joseph, as stated) Y'Shua, who is called Messiah.
17 So all the (Male) generations from Abraham to David are fourteen
Note: Pregnant by the Holy Spirit does not mean that the
Holy Spirit made her pregnant. It means "The Holy Spirit"
influenced her (Mary or Miryam) to get pregnant by Joseph
prior to their permanent cohabitation. Thus she allowed herself
to get pregnant (by consummating her marriage to Joseph before the
scheduled date of their permanent cohabitation) because of the
Holy and Righteous nature [Spiritual influence] of the
situation. She was not only filled mentally and emotionally
by YHVH's Holy Spirit of Love for The Eternal Himself, but
also, for her husband Joseph (see verse 20 below), and , also,
her yet to be conceived son, Y'Shua (The Promised Messiah and
rightful heir to the throne of David).
1Corinthians 7:9,36
9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry
than to burn.
36 But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his
virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him
do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry.
Did Miryam (Mary) and Joseph have full intercourse prior to their marriage?
Absolutely, as it was not an uncommon practice in those days for engaged
couples, because in those days the only difference between a promised
marriage and actual marriage was permanent "Cohabitation." Joseph and
Miryam (Mary) were not only married in their own opinion, but also, in
YHVH's opinion; They loved each other with a Holy Spirit of Love, and
they eventually cohabitated as a married couple. Therefore, they did not
sin, and their relationship remained righteous.
Romans 1:3
Concerning His (Spiritually begotten) Son, Messiah Y'Shua, our Master
(Teacher), which was made (created) of the (physical) seed (genetic
DNA) of David according to the flesh (Purely Physical);
Romans 12:2
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed (born
again or anew) by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what
is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of YHVH.
Deuteronomy 12:28-31
28 Observe and hear all these words which I command thee, that it
may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee forever, when
thou doest that which is good and right (righteous) in the sight of the
YHVH thy LORD.
29 When YHVH thy LORD shall cut off the (pagan) nations from
before thee, whither thou goest to possess them (pagan nations), and
thou succeedest them (pagan nations), and dwellest in their land;
30 Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them
(pagan nations), after that they be destroyed from before thee; and
that thou enquire not after their (pagan) gods, saying, How did these
(pagan) nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.
31 Thou shalt not do so unto the YHVH thy LORD: for every
abomination to the LORD, which He HATES, have they done unto
their (pagan) gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have
burnt in the fire to their gods.
Just for the record, YHVH is not a male (He), female (She) or
an IT. In order for YHVH to be these things, YHVH would
have to be flesh, and YHVH is not flesh any more than Messiah
was (is) God. See "Who Says Messiah Is God?"
Even so, let it be known right now, that Messiah did not actually have to be
the physical heir to the throne of David. The genealogy of the throne of
David is not (I repeat NOT) necessarily a physical genealogy of first born
sons nearly as much as it is "The Spiritually Righteous Lineage" to "The
Righteous Throne of Righteous David" as "The Righteous Seed" (One
Seed: Galatians 3:16) of "Righteous Abraham". Why would YHVH ever
allow even the smallest possibility that an unrighteous physical heir to the
throne of David be allowed to sit on "The Righteous Spiritual Throne"
(right hand of YHVH) in the "Coming Righteous Spiritual Kingdom" of
"The Righteous Spiritual Father of Creation" during the "Spiritually
Righteous Sabbath Millennium" just because he just happened to be the
physical heir to the throne? Never! Never! Never! YHVH is not stupid or
unrighteous! YHVH never intended for His "Coming Spiritual
Kingdom of Righteousness on Earth" to be ruled on the basis of
physical inheritance; Even so, Messiah Y'Shua satisfied both requirements
by being sired by a human father (Joseph), and by his righteous obedience
to YHVH.
Let's continue:
Matthew 1:1-15
1:1 ¶ The book of the generation of Messiah Y'Shua, the son of David,
the son of Abraham.
2 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas
and his brethren;
3 And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat
Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram;
4 And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and
Naasson begat Salmon;
5 And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth;
and Obed begat Jesse;
6 And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon
of her that had been the wife of Urias;
7 And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia
begat Asa;
8 And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat
Ozias;
9 And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz
begat Ezekias;
10 And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and
Amon begat Josias;
11 And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they
were carried away to Babylon:
12 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel;
and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;
13 And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim
begat Azor;
14 And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat
Eliud;
15 And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan
begat Jacob;
As for "The Virgin" statement, that was simply to establish that "The
Messiah would be The First Born Son or Eldest Son" and thus the lawful
contender to the throne of David, because it is only possible for A First Born
Child to be conceived from a virgin; In other words, Miryam (Mary) became
pregnant with The Messiah and lost her virginity at the exact same time (her
FIRST TIME), thus confirming The Messiah's physical birth (a physical to
Spiritual parallel) as a FIRST BORN SON (physical for Miryam and Joseph,
but Spiritual for YHVH).
Regardless of all of this, and even IF Joseph's and King David's Seed was
supernaturally placed into the virgin womb of Miryam (Mary), Miryam's
virginity would still not prove that The Messiah pre-existed or was God. It
(IF True) would still only prove that The Messiah was without a doubt The
First Born or Eldest Son of Miryam (Mary), and (IF supernaturally conceived)
thus not a True Physical Seed of Abraham (Spiritual? Yes! Physical? No!).
The next verse shows that Miryam (Mary) and Joseph were not simply
engaged by modern standards (a joke at best), but actually married.
(Continued from above)
19 Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man (and not understanding the
situation at this time), and not willing to make her a public example,
intended to put her away secretly (secret divorce).
his name Y'Shua, for it is he who shall SOZO (Strong's #4982, Sozo,
DELIVER) his people (or his followers) from their sins." (Not "Save
Them" but "SHOW THEM THE WAY", just like Moses delivered ancient
Israel)
22 Now all this has happened, that it might be fulfilled which was
spoken by the LORD (YHVH, the "Controller") through the prophet,
saying,
23 "Behold, the MAIDEN (Strong's #G3933, Parthenos, a maiden or
LORD (YHVH) commanded him (in a dream), and (G#3880) took (as an
intimate relationship) his wife unto (G#846) himself (They began
permanent COHABITATION);
25 and (G#1097) understood it not (didn't really understand what was
happening), until (some time after) she had brought forth (G#5088) their
firstborn son. He named him Y'Shua.
Note: Now you can draw your own conclusions, but the
following scriptural evidences must be considered:
1) Verse 16 positively identifies Joseph as the father or sire, as
does Romans 1:3.
2) Righteousness was not compromised by premarital hanky
panky as they Truly Loved one another and got married. This
PROVES that YHVH judges the "Intent of the Heart"
(Hebrews 4:12). YHVH has always judged the "Intent of The
Heart," as YHVH is stable and unchanging.
3) "Parthenos" is a virgin by implication only.
4) Why was Joseph having second thoughts? It appears to me
that he was confused? Even Miryam was disturbed at first (verse
to follow)!
5) The Holy Spirit is a Righteous Attitude of Love, and not
an entity or ghost like god (See Holy Spirit).
6) The 'so called' New Testament was canonized only by the
one 'universal' pagan church of ROME, which has proved
herself to be the 'Prophesied Harlot' of the Book of Revelation.
So what did they do with the original Hebrew and Aramaic
Epistles? Why would they hide or possibly even destroy the
original documents?
There is never a good reason to hide the truth!
7) Verse 25 was definitely mistranslated through a preconceived
bias, and required a search of Strong's concordance in order to
obtain the correct translation.
Luke 1:27-56
27 to a virgin (Strong's #G3933, Parthenos, a maiden or unmarried
daughter or by implication only, a virgin) pledged to be married to a
man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's
name was Miryam (Mary).
28 Having come unto her, the angel (Messenger) said, "Rejoice, you
highly favored (under Grace) one (a True Worshipper of YHVH)! The
LORD (YHVH) is with you. Blessed are you among women!"
29 But when she saw him, she was greatly troubled (even Miryam was
disturbed at first) at the saying, and considered what kind of salutation
this might be.
30 The angel said to her, "Don't be afraid, Miryam, for you have
found favor (Grace) with YHVH (The Self-existent Creator).
31 Behold, you will conceive in your womb, and bring forth a son,
and will call his name Y'Shua (also Yeshua or Yahushua).
32 He will be great, and will be called (NOT is already called the son of
YHVH) the Son of the Most High. The LORD (YHVH) will give to him
the throne of his father, David, (Not the throne or position of YHVH,
but the throne of Israel in The New Jerusalem)
33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob (Israel) forever. There
will be no end of his kingdom."
34 Miryam (Mary) said to the angel, "How will this be, seeing I am a
virgin (unmarried maiden, not cohabitating with my husband, and not
pregnant)?"
35 The angel answered her, "The Holy Spirit ("Mindset" of YHVH's
Righteous Love) will come on you (enter into your mind), and the power
of the Most High (YHVH's Power) will overshadow (Strong's #1982,
episkiazo, means to have Righteous Influence over) you. Therefore, also,
the Holy one which is to be born from you will (someday) be called the
Son of YHVH.
36 Behold, Elizabeth (mother of John the Baptizer), your relative, also
has conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with
her who was called barren.
37 For no word from YHVH will be void of power."
38 Miryam said, "Behold, the handmaid (Servant) of the LORD; be it
to me according to your word" (Miryam could hardly contain her
excitement and willingness to comply). The angel departed from her (At
this point Miryam has no objection to becoming pregnant by Joseph, and
indeed is thinking about it all of the time).
39 Miryam arose in those days (already somewhat overshadowed with
Righteous Influence), and went into the hill country with haste, into a
city of Judah,
40 and entered into the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth
(John, The Baptizer's mother).
41 It happened, when Elizabeth heard Miryam's greeting, the baby
leaped in her womb, and (also) Elizabeth was filled with the (Joy of the)
Holy Spirit (of YHVH's Love) (Excitement was "In The Air" and the
adrenaline was flowing) (Additionally, it was Elizabeth's pregnancy AND
Righteous Influence that truly fulfilled the "Overshadowing" Miryam or
Mary).
42 She called out with a loud voice (strong emotion), and said,
"Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your
womb! (You see, Elizabeth was also excited and aware of the situation at
hand)
43 Why am I (Elizabeth) so favored, that the mother of (improperly
applied preposition, which should imply for the purpose of, by the authority
of OR to be a servant of) my (future) LORD (Strong's #2962, kurios, a
generic term, as one with authority, as a controller only) should come to
me? (Could Elizabeth have been speaking with a sense of future purpose?_
If not then this verse is contradictory to all of the rest of the verses, and
shows improper translation.)
44 For behold, when the voice of your greeting came into my ears, the
baby leaped in my womb for joy! (adrenaline surge or emotional transfer
by chemical means)
45 Blessed is she who believed (Miryam, a True Worshipper), for there
will be (a future purpose) a fulfillment of the things which have been
spoken to her from the (present) LORD (controller)!"
46 Miryam said, "My soul (life) magnifies (brings praise to YHVH by
my service to) the (present) LORD (Kurios, the controller, not necessarily
YHVH, but at this time YHVH was the "Controller").
47 My spirit (attitude and character) has rejoiced in YHVH my
Savior,
48 For He has looked at the humble state of his handmaid. For behold,
from now on, all generations will call me blessed.
49 For He who is mighty has done to (for) me great things; Holy is His
name.
50 His mercy is for generations of generations on those who fear Him.
51 He has shown strength with His arm. He has scattered the proud in
the imagination of their heart.
52 He has put down princes from their thrones. Has exalted the lowly.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things. He has sent the rich
away empty.
54 He has given help to Israel, His servant, that he might remember
mercy
55 (As he spoke to our fathers) Toward Abraham and his seed
forever."
56 Miryam stayed with her about three months, and returned to
her house (completely and Righteously Influenced or overshadowed to
perform YHVH's Will for her. Mary / Miryam had a YHVH inspired "Mind
set," and nothing was going to stop her from serving YHVH).
8 There were shepherds in the same country staying in the field (NOT
winter time), and keeping watch by night (mild nights) over their flock.
9 Behold, an angel (Aggelos or Messenger) of the LORD stood by them
(the shepherds), and the glory of the LORD shone around them, and
they (the shepherds) were terrified.
10 The angel said to them (the shepherds), "Don't be afraid, for behold,
I bring you good news of great joy which will be to all the people.
11 For there is born to you (Israelites), this day, in the city of David, a
Savior, who is Messiah the lord (kurios).
12 This is the sign to you: you (the shepherds) will find a baby wrapped
in strips of cloth, lying in a feeding trough."
13 Suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly
host praising YHVH, and saying,
14 "Glory to YHVH in the highest (YHVH is The Highest), On Earth
peace, good will toward men."
15 It happened, when the angels went away from them into the sky,
that the shepherds said one to another, "Let's go to Bethlehem, now,
and see this thing that has happened, which the LORD (YHVH) has
made known to us."
16 They came with haste, and found both Miryam and Joseph, and the
baby lying in the feeding trough.
17 When they saw it, they (the shepherds) publicized widely the saying
which was spoken to them about this child.
18 All who heard it wondered at the things which were spoken to
them by the shepherds.
19 But Miryam kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart.
20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising YHVH for all the
things that they had heard and seen, even as it was spoken to them.
21 When eight days were fulfilled (a Purification Law and Ordinance)
for the circumcision of the child, his name was called Y'Shua, which
was given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
22 When the days of their purification (issue of blood Ordinance)
according to the law of Moses were fulfilled, they brought him up to
Jerusalem (at The Temple), to present him to the Supreme Kurios
(Kurios - The Present Controller OR YHVH)
Was Mary a physical virgin at the time of Y'Shua's birth? Answer: No!
Was Mary a physical virgin at the time of Y'Shua's conception? Answer:
Yes!
Was Joseph the actual physical father? Answer: He had to be OR the Epistle
of Matthew is a complete fabrication, and not based on even vague truth! Of
course, being "Based on Truth" does not necessarily make it completely true.
Was Y'Shua of the seed of King David? Answer: Absolutely! But David was
not in heaven nor was he alive on Earth. Therefore, King David was the
"Lineage of The Seed," as was Abraham.
Acts 2:29
"Brothers, I may tell you freely of the patriarch David, that he both
died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.
30 Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that YHVH had sworn
with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, according to the
flesh, (YHVH is not flesh, and the Holy Spirit is a mental attribute) he
would raise up the Messiah to sit on his (David's Throne, not YHVH's)
throne,
As I said before: Regardless of all of this, and even if Joseph's and King
David's Seed was supernaturally placed into the virgin womb of Miryam,
Miryam's virginity still would not prove that The Messiah pre-existed or was
God. It would still only prove that The Messiah was without a doubt The
First Born or Eldest Son of Miryam.
Isaiah 43:11
I, even I, am the LORD (YHVH is in Capital Letters); and beside
me there is no savior.
