God from God

Bernadette Roberts

It is because Jesus had no human father, however, that he alone was born “without sin”.  Obviously, at that time, there was no belief God created each individual soul One-on-one. Rather, the belief was that there was only one original soul and this one same soul, transmitted by the male sperm, was passed down the generations. This belief goes a long way to explain historical male dominance and patriarchal societies. Women, of course, had nothing to do with this. (That the female egg was equally necessary for human conception would wait thousands of years to be discovered.)  This was not just Paul’s Judaic view and belief, this was Jesus’ same belief! That God created his soul, however, meant he came from God and not from any human father – or from Adam. Indeed, God was his true biological “father”, and he, Jesus, was his true biological “son”.
