Based on your answer, how could God have accomplished these ends in any other way?
-
The Virgin birth is real. The Lord humbled himself from the beginning of conception until his critification as a human being. Tolerating mankind&h8s evil ways as proof that he is a caring loving God. Willing to submit himself to hate violence bigotree and cruelness to die for the forgiveness of our sins.

The Almighty LORDS powers are infinite. JESUS could have been miraculously transformed into a child. Found by Mary and instructed by the LORD to raise the child as her own and informed of who he is.
-
Since God is the ultimate creator and took dust to create the first life, He is not bound by biological mechanics the same way that we are. He is able to produce life from nothing but speaking and so to tie His hands to say that he is unable to produce life without a sperm from a human male is saying that somehow His power has decreased since the time of creation.

I do not know how he could have done it in another way. God wanted to show Jesus was part of us being born of a virgin so people would relate to him and understand his pain later. If Jesus just appeared out of Heaven, then maybe people would not have believed in his suffering.
-
There really isn’t another way that would prove that this child would be God in the flesh.
-
If the virgin birth took place, what would be God’s purpose for Jesus being born in this manner?
-
Being born in this manner, (into humanity) would fulfill all the requirements of the law. It also fulfills several prophesies from hundreds of years earlier. It also demonstrated that this was no ordinary man. The virgin birth demonstrates as fully human and fully God He was tempted in all the ways we are, so He understands us better than we do ourselves.
-
God’s purpose for Jesus being born from a virgin is to prove that Jesus is the Messiah, a miracle from God. This also confirms prophesy.
-
God’s purpose is to show the man born is sinless because he came out of laws of human nature to save the world from sin.
-
God’s purpose for Jesus being born in this manner is to prove that He underwent a supernatural conception. By Mary, a virgin, conceiving it points to the fact that the Holy Spirit was present and is part of Jesus. Jesus was conceived free of sin because a man and woman were not involved, but instead the Holy Spirit.

I found that this PDF about the virgin birth taking place was rather a difficult read. I cannot believe the distortion that takes place among other believers. Jesus Christ sacrificed himself for our sins so we can go on to live a sinless life. But, in reality this is not really true. As humans, we all sin in some manner. Simply put, Jesus was so dedicated to human kind that all he asked for us, is to love one another for who they are, help one another who needs it and just be a very caring person. You can’t have this without faith and that is belief in God. You really can’t exist without faith. It is supposed to part of us; our soul, so to speak. This explanation did not come easy to me as I see what is happening, today. It would be just so simple if we observed these rules. Jesus was born without sin but died for us, as we have sinned. God is the supreme ruler of all. If the virgin birth of Jesus held this concept, among all believers, we would all be better off. Like I said, previously, it is a hard manner for us to grasp these concepts.

Why is the virgin birth such a departure from what we know of human biology?
-
The virgin birth seems impossible to people because it is not possible without God.
-
Her birth was super natural events so without faith it’s seemed impossible to believe .
-
It’s departure after the holy spirit touched Mary’s life through supernatural power of God

The virgin birth is a departure what we know of human biology because it takes 46 chromosomes to make an embryo. Half of the chromosomes come from the female, and the other 23 come from the male. In the case of Jesus, he only received half of his genetic make-up from his mother. However, the fact that Jesus only received half of his chromosomes, proves that his conception was truly a miraculous event. God is capable of anything and everything. Even though things might not make sense on Earth (surviving with only 23 chromosomes), God has plan and is able to execute it perfectly.

It’s a departure because what we know of human biology 8s a man sleeps with a woman, he releases sperm with that attach to an egg in the woman, which than creates life. Without this process some find it difficult to believe
