In the midst of a battle for whose Dad can beat up whose Dad, the world of fantasy often comes into play. Usually the playground boasts are made by kids who have never seen the other kid’s dad. So it is with religion. One doesn’t have to know anything about another so-called diety because we just automatically know that our god can trash your god! In a heart beat! Is there any wonder-doubt that Christians would want the “power” of a virgin birth when so many religions before Jesus had so proclaimed. CLICK HERE, for just a few.
How does one explain divinity, especially 2,000 years ago?
For starters, you have a miraculous birth, a birth by the Spirit, a birth from without wherein the God that is “out there” comes “down to earth” and visits humanhood in some unique manner. But even the archbishops of Centerbury and York (1922) officially proclaimed (as a statement of the church doctrine of England), and I quote, “There are some among us who hold that a full belief in the historical Incarnation is more consistent with the supposition that our Lord’s birth took place under normal conditions of human generation. In their minds, the notion of a Virgin Birth tends to mar the completeness of the belief that in the Incarnation God revealed Himself at every point in and through human nature.”
While a virgin birth story seemd plausible 2,000 years ago, it simply doesn’t work today!
Most importantly it isn’t NEEDED (It’s especially needed for Catholics). 
And for many Christians who have been so heavily indoctrinated over the years, that’s how Jesus got to be God! If Jesus was not “virgin born“, then how could He do miracles. How else could Jesus have earned the title “Son of God“? And what goes without saying and works as leaven within our personal belief systems is that Jesus was not like us and so therefore John 14:12 really isn’t possible for us humanoids!
But, as St. Paul wrote and emphasized, we are ALL Sons of God as well as Sons of Adam, as Jesus was.
We don’t need the defensive baggage of a “virgin birth” story brings with it. What Jesus did, He did as a man, like you and I (women included). Let us get on with the reality of our faith, and so bring many more into it because of who Christ is IN US and not who He wasn’t according to myths: whose truths are far more powerful than the absence of the facts.
You trackin’ on this?
