The virgin birth of Jesus is the Christian and Islamic teaching that Jesus was conceived by his mother, Mary, through the power of the Holy Spirit and without sexual intercourse. [ 1 ] Christians regard the doctrine as an explanation of the combination of the human and divine natures of Jesus .
John Fullerton MacArthur Jr. (born June 19, 1939) is an American pastor and author who hosts the national Christian radio and television program Grace to You. [1] He has been the pastor of Grace Community Church , a non-denominational church in Sun Valley, California since February 9, 1969. [ 2 ]
The turmoil of the Reformation gave rise to many radical groups and individuals, some of whom were accused of denying, or actually did deny, the virgin birth. For example, during the trial of Lorenzo Tizzano before the Inquisition at Venice in 1550, it was charged that the circle of the late Juan de Valdés (died 1541) at Naples had included such individuals.

In Christian theology, the incarnation is the belief that the pre-existent divine person of Jesus Christ, God the Son, the second person of the Trinity, and the Logos (Koine Greek for 'word'), was "made flesh" [1] by being conceived through the power of the Holy Spirit in the womb of a woman, the Virgin Mary, [2] who is also known as the Theotokos (Greek for "God-bearer" or "Mother of God").
The accusations of Nestorianism have been used in contemporary theological discourse. One notable example is the case of John MacArthur, as he has asserted that when Mary gave birth to Jesus, she did not give birth to God, but rather gave birth to Jesus in his humanity and that "it’s heretical to call the blood of Jesus Christ the blood of God."
Latter Day Saints affirm the virgin birth of Jesus [1] but reject the Catholic doctrine of the perpetual virginity of Mary. They also believe that the brothers of Jesus were her and Joseph's biological children. [2] Mary is not seen as an intercessor between humankind and Jesus, and Latter Day Saints do not pray to Mary.
