Must Jesus have Come Via the Virgin Birth?

[Yeshua1]

In order to qualify as our Messiah, or it does not matter, could have come natural means?

Yes. Follow the entire lineage of the House of Israel. Identity is based on sonship of the father. Exactly opposite of what the Jewish Rabbis have falsely propagated today.

 

[Yeshua1]

Yes.

For if it was same method that God normal uses to reproduce another baby, he would have been a sinner, correct?

To fulfill the Messianic prophecies? He had to be born of a virgin.

To be sinless? No.


He had to be born in Bethlehem to be the Messiah, but not to be sinless.

Yes, for the reasons @Aaron listed.

Keep in mind that the idea of a virgin birth is not unique to Christianity or the Hebrew religion.
