A Virgin Birth, the Word became Flesh

 

                Is this not a facet of how the Word becomes Flesh, by being recognized and understood in the “world”, in the “darkness”, that which you were beforehand? The Word is born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God, a spiritual birth, not by sexual intercourse, but born through spiritual innocence, which would be the virgin birth of any one of us? And furthermore, would it not be named of us that God is with us, which is what Immanuel means? You may ask, ‘How can this be, how are you born as a child of God?’ It is when the Holy Spirit comes upon you and the power of the Most High overshadows you so that the holy one to be born (the new you) will be called the child of God.

‘These are those who did not defile themselves with women (in the usual way of self-creation), for they kept themselves pure. They follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They were purchased from among men and offered as firstfruits to God and the Lamb. No lie was found in their mouths; they are blameless.’

Being in the world and among the darkness we likely experience many things, yet it is possible through belief in the Word that our spiritual character be undefiled by the belief of a lie that says those worldly experiences are what creates us, completes us, destroys us, or gives birth to us. Only the Spirit of God gives birth and life to sons of God and to their children.

If one has an “experience” without their spirit being defiled/controlled by it, would they not still be a virgin spiritually speaking? And on the other hand is it not true that to believe in any false god is considered adultery and fornication even of physical virgins?

Immaculate Conception – being born of the Spirit of God, set free from all stains of pride and guilt. Pride and guilt are the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil in ourselves and others, which are also the results of the original sin, where in we used pride and guilt as a means to gain sustenance, admiration, and wisdom from and over others and thinking/feeling (the knowing) within ourselves that that makes us like God.
