21 | Was John the Baptist really Elijah? | Not Specified | schimc | 108586 | ||
What is this piece of scripture trying to tell us....I don't get it. Matthew 11: 14-15 14And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come. 15He who has ears, let him hear. |

24 | virgin birth | Matt 1:19 | schimc | 108028 | ||
Very true, but then again, there are so many skeptics out there that I like to be prepared. I usually do not read the material that trys to mislead, but my brother, whom I love dearly, is really scaring me about his beliefs now. He is so confused that I needed something to go on. He has gone from Catholic, to conservative, to liberal, and back to Catholic. That would probably confuse anyone. But he, being a very sincere and loving person, gets very turned off by Churches that make him feel like they have all the answers. Now he's in a Bible study with a group who are all fundamentalist. I have been worried about him for sometime now, but have kept my mouth shut. After all, he has done much more spirtitual reading than I have, and I know he loves God above all others. But he may be as you have said, way to open minded for his own good. We have another brother who was baptized as an adult, but now is so bitterly opposed to anything religious that it is even more scary. Thank you Indy for taking the time to respond. by the grace of God Schimc |

25 | Virgin Birth Myth | Matt 1:19 | schimc | 108025 | ||
I have no problem whatsover with your first response. Sometimes one sentance or even a paragraph doesn't really answer a question anyway. And a book to read that is inspiring and helps answer the question is fine by me. I can assure you I am not wanting to disbelieve the Bible. I had a serious question and I feel that most of the responses I got were excellant. I felt the same of yours. Thanks again. Schimc |

Of course I already thought I new the truth, but I happened across some material that I usually ignore, and it started making too much since. I am glad I came here for some enlightening answers. by the grace of God Schimc |

29 | Virgin Birth Myth | Matt 1:19 | schimc | 108004 | ||
Thank you very much EdB, I'm so very glad I came here for some answers. I've read the "Letters from a Skeptic" and, although it is a very good book, it overlooked the "Virgin Birth" story altogether, which further made me wonder about the story again. I will be sure and read the book you have suggested. Thank you |

30 | Why wasn't Jesus named Immanuel? | Matt 1:19 | schimc | 107944 | ||
Thanks for responding but I still have a question. Isaiah 7:14. As you know, this relates to King Ahaz regarding the fate of the two kings threatening Judah at that time and the fate of Judah itself. In the orginal hebrew, the verse says that a "young woman" will give brith, not a "virgin" which is an entirely different Hebrew word. It would seem that a case could be made that Mathew may have blundered the prophesy. Jesus triumphant entry into Jerusalem: In Matthew 21:1-7. In Mark, and Luke, Jesus is riding on a donkey. In Matthew, two animals are mentioned in three of the verses, so this cannot be explained away as a copying error. And Matthew has Jesus riding on both animals at the same time, for verse 7 literally says, "on them he sat.". Why does Matthew have Jesus riding on two donkeys at the same time? Because he could have misread Zechariah 9:9 which reads in part, "mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey." It starts to get scary because the word translated "and" in this passage does not indicate another animal but is used in the sense of "even" for emphasis. It would not be a problem if Mark and Luke did not explicity use the singular donkey. Luke 19: 28-32. It starts to make a great case for the skeptic that Matthew was in error. I am in serious trouble trying to reconcile the problems with the virgin birth story. Any help will be greatly appreciated. by the grace of God Schimc |

31 | Is the Virgin Birth of Jesus a myth? | Not Specified | schimc | 107894 | ||
Is the Virgin Birth of Jesus a myth? I have recently been investigating the point of view that Matthew made up the story concerning the virgin birth due to his misunderstanding of Isaiah 7:14 meaning young women instead of a real virgin. This and the investigation of this issue has really shaken my faith. I hold on to my belief because I have no where else to turn. But just the same, this discovery is startling. |

Ray, I am a new subscriber. I have read many of your responses. I am particularly interested in questions about the virgin birth. I am not a new believer. I have recently read many disturbing contrasts related to the virgin birth story. I was hoping you could help me with my quest for answers concerning this very controversial story. Also, please update me on your battle with cancer. |
