Traditional Christianity answers in the affirmative: Yes, Jesus has always existed as God the Son. So the question is, did Jesus personally and consciously exist with God in Heaven before his miraculous conception? Was the Son of God personally alive before he was conceived in Mary before he became a human being? It is clear that Jesus himself knew God was His Father in a unique sense and that his conception was different to all others. I am not one of those who denies the Virgin birth. This sounds rather simplistic, however we all bring to the Bible our own teachings from childhood, our own cultural biases, and in particular our own inherited church traditions.Ī helpful place to start is to ask whether Jesus pre-existed his own miraculous conception in the womb of Mary. Our first task is to locate which Jesus is in the Bible.
