“Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: and knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called His name JESUS.” (Matthew 1:24-25)
When Joseph awoke he took Mary to be his wife. Matthew is careful to point out that Joseph and Mary did not have marital relations until after the baby was born.
To deny the virgin conception and the virgin birth is to deny the very word of God. One may as well deny the existence of heaven, hell, the cross, the resurrection, any need of salvation and John 3:16 as to deny the virgin birth of Christ. Denying these truths makes the Christian celebration of Christmas a meaningless farce.
Since the birth narratives of Jesus as recorded in the Bible are true, you may put your faith in Him for eternal life, for life here and life here-after.
