The Godhead – Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ was not born of a virgin |

The Way
International teaches that Jesus was not born of a virgin, for Mary lost her
virginity before she gave birth to Jesus. Here are the words of Paul
Wierwille that deny the virgin birth, "If it is said a virgin shall
bring forth a son your Bible would fall to pieces. It says plainly that Mary
was a virgin only at the time of conception, not at Jesus' birth; the theory
of virgin birth has been a theological assumption and erroneous teaching. The
Bible said in verse 20 that God told Joseph, 'Take unto thee thy wife' when
Joseph took her unto himself he lived with her as a husband lives with a
wife. She was a virgin when she conceived by God, but when Joseph took her
unto himself she was no longer a virgin. The divine conception made Mary no
longer a virgin’ (The Way Magazine, Dec. 1970, page 6). |

The
Scripture teaches that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was virgin not only when
she conceived Jesus in her womb by the Holy Spirit but also when she gave
birth to Jesus Christ, for it is written: “Then Joseph, being aroused from
sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took to him his wife,
and did not know her till she had brought forth her firstborn Son. And he
called His name JESUS” (Matthew |
