Democrat Senate Candidate Dismisses Virgin Birth Requirement

Faith Facts

• Pastor Adam Hamilton is running for the U.S. Senate as a Democrat in Kansas.
• Hamilton stated that Christians do not need to believe in the virgin birth of Jesus Christ.
• The virgin birth is a foundational doctrine affirmed in Scripture and upheld by the historic Christian church.

Former pastor and current Democrat Senate candidate Adam Hamilton is drawing criticism after a video interview surfaced in which he stated that belief in the virgin birth of Jesus is not required for Christians.

The remarks challenge the clear teaching of Scripture and the longstanding confessions of the Christian faith that affirm the miraculous conception of Christ by the Holy Spirit.

“Christians don’t have to believe in the virgin birth of Jesus,” Hamilton said during the interview.

Conservative believers across Kansas and the nation are expressing concern that a candidate who once served as a pastor would publicly question such a core biblical truth while seeking elected office.

Scripture is unambiguous on this matter, declaring in Isaiah 7:14 that “the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,” and in Matthew 1:23 that this prophecy was fulfilled in Mary.
