Born of a Virgin – this answers a lot of questions
So I tend to look for things to listen to that challenge my beliefs. I have been listening to a Pastor of a Messianic Jewish Congregation in Hudson, WI. I am not particularly of that worldview, but if there was anyone to convince me otherwise this is the guy. His name is D. T. Lancaster and the congregation is Beth Immanuel. He does his homework and you are not going to hear what he brings up typically anywhere else. Their website is:
You will find their audio on this site. There is also an old site that they had before they made their move to this new site, on which they had some fantastic teaching, which did not get transferred over, it is at:
http://genizah.bethimmanuel.org/
there is a series there that you must listen to, entitled “Born of a Virgin”.
- Seven Difficulties
- The Immanuel Prophecy
- Scandalous Stories
- The Stone the Builders Rejected
- The Hidden Miracle
- Two Genealogies
- Seed of Joseph
Have you ever wondered:
- Why did Jesus have to be born of a Virgin?
- Why are there two different genealogies in Matthew and Luke?
- Why are there four women mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus? for what purpose?
- How was Jesus the son of David without being the real son of Joseph? is that a good assumption?
- Lots of other things…
You need to listen to these in order, and completely otherwise what he says will not make sense.
There are a couple of other Series I would suggest:
