"With regard to your question concerning the Virgin Birth of Jesus; on
this point, as on several others, the Baha'i teachings are in full
agreement with the doctrines of the Catholic Church. In the Kitab-i-Iqan
(Book of Certitude) page 56, and in a few other Tablets still unpublished,
Baha'u'llah confirms, however indirectly, the Catholic conception of the
Virgin Birth. Also 'Abdu'l-Baha in 'Some Answered Questions', Chap. 12,
page 73, explicitly states that Christ found existence through the spirit
of God which statement necessarily implies, when reviewed in the light of
the text, that Jesus was not the son of Joseph."
"We believe that Christ only was conceived immaculately. His brothers and
sisters would have been born in the natural way and conceived naturally."
