(Matthew 1:18-20)Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.

The Bible says that Mary was engaged to Joseph. At that time, an engagement was like a marriage and was legally binding. That is, the engagement was a de facto marriage that could never be broken except for adultery. That is why Joseph and Mary are introduced in the Bible as husband Joseph and her wife Mary. The engagement period was approximately one year. If the husband dies during that time, her wife becomes a widow. Even if they didn't live together, it was the same as being married. Therefore, if they committed infidelity during that time, they would be considered adultery and could be punished with death. In Deuteronomy, there is a law stating that if a woman commits infidelity, she must be stoned to death.

Being conceived and born by the Holy Spirit means a different creation from the creation of humans described in Genesis 1. In Genesis 2:7, “And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” Adam was born like this. However, Eve was born differently. 『And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept : and he took one of his ribs his, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.” (Genesis 2:21-22) Eve was born through Adam. Since Eve was separated from Adam (the first man), who was originally one, Adam became a man. The birth of Jesus is like Adam, as God breathed life into the dust. Jesus was conceived and became the last Adam because the Holy Spirit entered Mary's body.

Likewise, those who are born again are born again through Jesus Christ. No one can be reborn except Jesus, who is the firstfruits of the resurrection. So, the Bible says that Adam is a type of Christ. Originally, Adam and Eve were one. Likewise, Christ and the spirit that was confined in man apart from Christ were one. That is why Genesis 2:24 says, “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.” Paul compared the relationship between Christ and the church to that of husband and wife. To be born again is to become one with the risen Christ. This can be done through the power of the Holy Spirit. Only those who believe in the power of the Holy Spirit can believe in being conceived by the Holy Spirit.

It can be said that the body of Jesus, conceived and born of the Holy Spirit, is the body that has endowed the human body with divinity. Although he was born in the form of a sinner, he performed many miracles and showed amazing power. Jesus had a physical body like other people. But the power of God was at work in him. (Matthew 17:1-2) 『And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun , and his raiment was white as the light..” However, when Jesus died and rose again, he became a spiritual body, not a physical body. After Jesus was resurrected, he appeared suddenly or through a wall.

Jesus came into this world to raise dead spirits. John 6:63 “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” People do not understand very well about spirit, soul, and body. In Ecclesiastes 12:7, "Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it." In Genesis 3:19, “In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

In 1 Corinthians 15:44, “It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.” A spiritual body means a body that contains the spirit. In 2 Corinthians 5:1, “For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.” Our tent house means the flesh. do. The eternal home in heaven means the spirit body. If we do not put on the body of the spirit, which is the house that comes from heaven, we become naked.

The tradition of the elders

  The tradition of the elders   Mark 7:5-9  『 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands? He answered and said to them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. 』 In the Galilee region, Pharisees and scribes from Jerusalem came to Jesus. They came with accusations against Jesus. This is because Jesus' disciples neglected washing their hands, a Jewish ritual of purification. They called it  “ the tradition of the elders. ”  The Jewish leaders ...

Question 64. What is the invisible church?

  Question 64. What is the invisible church? Answer. The invisible church is the total number of the elect who are gathered together and will be gathered together in the future under Christ, the head. In the catechism, the doctrine states that the invisible church is "the total number of the elect who are gathered together and will gather together in the future under Christ, the head," so it can be understood as those who make heaven in Christ. However, the invisible church can be said to be an invisible church community, but this was only used as a means to divide the visible church and the invisible church, and dividing them into visible and invisible is not biblical. The church is the church of the saints, and the church community is the gathering of the saints. The expression "true member" is also ambiguous.

Question 68. Are only the elect effectually called?

  Question 68. Are only the elect effectually called? Answer. Only the elect are effectually called. Those who are not elected, although they may be called outwardly by the ministry of the Word, and have some common operation of the Spirit, yet willfully neglect and despise the grace offered to them, and so fall into unbelief, and do not truly come to Jesus Christ. God chooses from among those who are called to be His people. Matthew 22:14 says that many are called, but few are chosen. In Matthew 22:2, “ The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding feast for his son, ” the king is God. The son is Jesus Christ, and the wedding feast is the wedding feast of the Lamb. The wedding feast of the Lamb refers to taking his bride. Only those who are the bride of Christ among all people in the world can enter the wedding feast. In order to become the bride of Christ, they must die with Jesus and be resurrected with Christ. The wedding feast of the Lamb is becoming one...
