    If you don't mind me using the word, that is where you are drifting into heresy again. The Bible says that the blood of bulls and goats could never take away sins. Why? Only the blood of a perfect man could. It was the life of one man for another man. It was the life of a perfect man for an imperfect man. It was the life a just man for an unjust man. But he had to be a man. In order for him to be a man, he had to be clothed with flesh--mortal flesh; corruptible flesh. If he wasn't he wouldn't be a man. He would be something else--an alien, something, but not a man.
    This man had to be a man, with the flesh of a man, corruptible flesh. A just man dying for unjust man. Second He had to be God. In being God he could die not just for one man, but for all men throughout all ages. He paid the penalty for all of our sins: past, present, and future because He is God. He lived, suffered, and died as man in a corruptible body like yours and mine. He rose again in an incorruptible and glorified body as we someday we will also have.

    To pay that penalty he had to be perfect Man and perfect God: the God-Man. He could be nothing less.

    If His flesh was corruptible, He could not be the perfect sacrifice that was needed.

    If his flesh was NOT corruptible it wasn't flesh.

    I Peter 1: 24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:


    Heb. 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

    I John 3:2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

    His flesh was flesh. But it was not corruptible flesh. Scripture said He would not see corruption. Had it been corruptible, He would have seen corruption. He did not.

    This was in reference to Jesus not being in the grave for mre than 3 days. In Psalms 16:10 it says God would not allow his holy one to see corruption. It doesn't say his flesh was not corruptible.

    God stepped in and raised Jesus before the decaying proccess began. The decaying of his corruptible flesh.

    You are getting more into the doctrine of the Impeccability of Christ than the Virgin Birth. Let's continue this discussion on a new thread.
