The term NATURAL, refers to human reproduction, the form of sexual reproduction resulting in the conception of a child, typically involving sexual intercourse between a man and a woman. During intercourse, the interaction between the male and female reproductive systems results in fertilization of the woman's ovum by the man's sperm, which after a gestation period is followed by childbirth.
Because Jesus was the Son of God and from heaven and was sent on Earth by God, then was He born like a human beings?
I think no one can directly say that Jesus was born naturally. As human being, all fathers had no idea of when, where and how their child will born not until they get married. But for Jesus t'was different; his ancestors already knew for it was prophesied by the prophets.
“Prophesied that he will come in Jesse's generation”.
“And prophesied he will come in Bethlehem.”
“And prophesied he will come with a virgin mother.”
“And was confirmed and fulfilled when he was born in Bethlehem.”
In summary, Jesus was:
1. Prophesied to come in the generation of Jesse
2. Prophesied to come in Bethlehem of Judaea
3. Prophesied to be born with a virgin mother
4. Confirmed by the angel of the Lord
5. Conceived of the Holy Ghost
6. Born with star in the East
7. Searched and worshipped by wise men
Now, was Jesus born naturally?

I think no one can directly say that Jesus was born naturally. As human being, all fathers had no idea of when, where and how their child will born not until they get married. But for Jesus t'was different; his ancestors already knew for it was prophesied by the prophets.
“Prophesied that he will come in Jesse's generation”.
- Isaiah 11:10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.
- Isaiah 53:2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
“And prophesied he will come in Bethlehem.”
- Mic 5:2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.
- Mat 2:1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, 2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. 3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. 4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born. 5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet, 6 And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel
“And prophesied he will come with a virgin mother.”
- Isa 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
“And was confirmed and fulfilled when he was born in Bethlehem.”
- Mat 1:18 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. 19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. 20 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. 21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. 22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, 23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
- Mat 2:1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, 2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
- Mat 2:11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
