did Jesus "have" To Come Via the Virgin Birth?

This sounds like you're saying virgins aren't corrupt. That can't be what you're saying.
You are right Aaron; that's not what I'm saying.
I'm saying the virgin birth was a sign, and a sign only. It happened. To deny it is a heresy. But it isn't what kept Christ pure. Sin is not something that comes through muscle and blood and skin and bones. It's the spirit of man that is corrupt.

I do not disagree with this understanding for we know Israel is given such a sign. But a sign needs a foundation, and the foundation is given before Isaiah, just as Jesus gave the sign of Jonah. This may look to be off subject, but just as Israel did not want to understand the sign of the virgin, neither do so many Christian wish to believe Jesus was seventy-two (72) house in the heart of the earth.
And when you think of corruption, don't think of something that is added. Think of something that is lost. Remember how easy it was to corrupt the data on a floppy by inadvertently laying it on top of your stereo speaker? It didn't take anything from the speaker. The magnetic field simply realigned some of the dipoles. Data was lost, and if that was your only copy, the data could not be recovered. Copy that disk as much as you want, you will never get a copy with uncorrupted files. The program will never work, not because of what the corrupted floppy yields, but because of what it can't yield.

A good analogy, but Paradise was lost just like this. It is after the fact. Holy in, Holy out gives us nothing added, and nothing lost.
It isn't so much what Adam gives us that makes us sinners; it's what he doesn't give us, and that is life. And life comes no more through the woman than it does through the man.

We agree on this, yet not so as to eternal life. We live by Adam and Eve, but eternal life comes only through the blood of Jesus Christ. I am not touting the woman, as I believe you may be telling me. I'm just saying a woman is considered usable by God if her fold blocks outside contamination, and is completely sealed. Mary afterward produced children by the seed of man, but she had something to do with these births, but not that of Jesus. The Word of God was not made flesh apart from Adam, as God used the Body of Adam to create a New Man.
The Scriptures do not say that Christ was born of a virgin to escape the curse. It says He was born of a virgin for a sign. Anything else is superstition and old wives tales.

Scripture looks to say something different. God first establishes the virgin in order for it to be a sign. Messiah must be born of a virgin, so Israel has no excuse of overlooking this fact, for God had told them. Scripture says to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ for our salvation. What makes this possible? Jesus was born to a virgin, and since Jesus is of the Blood of God (and not mingled with mans), and not born of a woman devoid of virginity, His sacrifice is worthy to enter into the Holy of Holies. He had to be without blemish, thus the necessity of being born of a virgin.
