Subject: What was reason for the virgin birth? |
Bible Note: stjohn - You are wise to opt to "keep in your heart" personal feelings on the virgin birth of Christ or any other theological topic, for that matter; because, as you apparently have come to recognize, "personal feelings" don't carry much weight on Study Bible Forum. But God's word and sound expositions on it do. I've carried around a bushel of "personal feelings" all my life and haven't been offered anything for them yet. :-) ..... Sir, I'm having trouble following you on your declaration that the virgin birth is a sensitive issue. I've never thought of it as being such. Of course, the scoffers make sport of it, along with other mighty acts of God, but they walk in darkness anyway, so who pays any attention to them? They are the blind leading the blind. But I have never been ashamed to talk about the virgin birth of Jesus Christ nor do I deem it a sensitive issue. It's quite all right on this forum to talk about any issue under the sun so long as the Bible speaks on the issue, and we can back it up solidly with Scripture cited in context. Thanks, by the way, for your rapid response to my other post to you this evening. This is not to chide in any way, but it did strike me as curious why you think that the topic of the virgin birth is sensitive. In thinking of the virgin birth of Jesus, the adjective that readily comes to my mind is glorious. But never sensitive. --Hank |
