Today,
reply is on the humanity and divinity of Jesus Christ at his birth.
In the same way Eve was fashioned from Creation appearing within the
rib of Adam, and was not fashioned from the soil of the earth, Jesus
Christ was not fashioned from dust, and was made manifest from the
substance of Mary as a sanctified vessel containing aspects of divine
Creation. It is written: Luke 1: 26-33, King James Version (KJV):
26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a
city of Galilee, named Nazareth, 27 To a virgin espoused to a man
whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s
name was Mary. 28 And the angel came in unto her, and said,
Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is
with thee: blessed art thou among women. 29 And when she saw
him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what
manner of salutation this should be. 30 And the angel said unto her,
Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. 31 And,
behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and
shalt call his name JESUS. 32 He shall be great, and shall be called
the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the
throne of his father David: 33 And he shall reign over the house of
Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. A fighter

Was
Jesus Christ born mortal or immortal?
THE
GOLDEN ARROW: He was in the world, and the world was made by him,
and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own
received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power
to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his
name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh,
nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was made flesh, and
dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only
begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. (John 1: 10-14,
KJV)

“Nick”,
Jesus was born filled with the Holy Spirit, consecrated and
sanctified, yet, was mortal. At present, only divinity exists as
having immortality; mankind is mortal; and angels and the sacred
beasts in heaven have “duration” within the frameworks of time
and space, yet, are neither mortal nor immortal. Existing as spirit
in form, divinity also is incorruptible and invisible. The appearance
of divinity on earth using human form and process as Jesus Christ to
provide an atonement for sin, redemption, and salvation required
authentic humanity be displayed through birth from a woman,
acknowledgment of sacred law, aging, growth, learning, mortality,
suffering, death, and resurrection from the dead. The divine process
for those living on the earth to recover and be restored from the sin
of Adam has been demonstrated in the life and ministry of Jesus
including the imparting of spirit substance from the makeup of
divinity (we say, the Comforter; the Holy Ghost; the Spirit of
Prophecy; the Spirit of Truth). Inseparable aspects of divine
fullness (we also say, the Godhead; the Father, the Son, the Holy
Spirit) make possible the forms of communication, exchange and
interaction among the living that we speak of as a new covenant
relationship with GOD. Examples are balance, commitment, faith,
forbearance, holiness, longsuffering, lovingkindness, oneness without
sameness, personhood, wisdom, and wrath against sin. Sinners who
turn to GOD through Christ become developing believers who are “born
again”, must become mature again, and are to display the image of
GOD while living on the earth. As mature believers, the saints are
to resemble, reflect, and reveal the character and likeness of the
Lord. The full transformation from mortal to immortal that believers
are to undergo will be completed at the appearing of Christ (we say,
the Advent; the Rapture; the Second Coming). Consider again the
following that uses language from the Bible, and selection from the
music ministry of Pro Musica Leánykar; Pro Musica Girls Choir,
Hungary (Nyíregyháza):
(1.)
Isaiah 11: 1-5, King James Version (KJV): 1 And there shall come
forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of
his roots: 2 And the spirit of the LORD shall
rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of
counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the
LORD; 3 And shall make him of quick
understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he
shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after
the hearing of his ears: 4 But with righteousness shall he judge the
poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he
shall smite the earth: with the rod of his mouth, and with the
breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. 5 And righteousness
shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his
reins.
(2.)
Isaiah 9: 6-7, KJV: 6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son
is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his
name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The
everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. 7 Of the increase of his
government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of
David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with
judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of
the LORD of hosts will perform this.
(3.)
Luke 1: 34-35, KJV: 34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall
this be, seeing I know not a man? 35 And the angel answered and said
unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the
Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which
shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
There
is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually
apprehended. (For example, the Ave Maria of Franz Biebl is a
Catholic prayer said at 6am, 12 noon and 6pm: "The Angel of the
Lord Declared unto Mary and she conceived of the Holy Ghost"
followed by the Hail Mary then "Mary said" "Behold the
handmaid of the Lord, be it done unto me according to Thy word".
Hail Mary..then "and the Word(Jesus Christ)was made flesh and
dwelt amongst us" followed by a final Hail Mary. (4.)

Even
so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according
to your faith.
