I end this buy gucci envy me 2 three-part series today with the primary reason that I cannot accept a buy gucci envy me 2 virgin birth story. It’s not that I don’t need one, which I don’t. It’s not because there are buy gucci envy me 2 dozens of virgin birth stories prior to Jesus, and there were. It’s not because everyone but Luke and Matthew are buy gucci envy me 2 silent and never mention a virgin birth, which silence speaks volumes. I take the buy gucci envy me 2 position against the literalness (myth) of the virgin birth story, because for me you can’t eat your cake and keep it too. You can’t say that God was fully man as ancient creeds have, and then say He was supernaturally born. Or at least I can’t! How does that work? Other than just saying that it does?
And then there are all these IDOLS that have come from creating a supernatural birth.
We’ve got Mariology, the Annuncion, and the Immaculate Conception. I’m sorry but I just don’t get it, and I can’t doctrinally doctor it up from the RED in the New Testament, etc. Whatever is meant by the “divinity of Jesus“, it has nothing to do with his birth- at least not for me.
Yes, Jesus was the buy gucci envy me 2 Son of God and as Paul says we are all sons of God, while still maintaining that buy gucci envy me 2 unique status of Jesus who became the Christ, and the second person of the buy gucci envy me 2 trinity. In order for Jesus to fulfill the role as our mediator, substitute for buy gucci envy me 2 our sins, and model for how we too can and should live life, He had buy gucci envy me 2 to be fully HUMAN. If not, then what HOPE is there for us? You can go back to August 3-11 for the five part series on how JESUS WAS A MAN series if you need more in depth on this issue.
Let me close with these words from Peter Hamilton (Trinity College scholar), “The virgin birth is buy gucci envy me 2 not doctrinally necessary: the historical evidence is inconclusive. What matters surely, is buy gucci envy me 2 to be able to understand, in terms that do not conflict with the buy gucci envy me 2 rest of one’s philosophy, the buy gucci envy me 2 central belief which the doctrine of the virgin birth enshrines- that buy gucci envy me 2 ‘God was in Christ’.”
And if you buy gucci envy me 2 choose to believe in a virgin birth, we are still both Christians, friends, sojourners, and buy gucci envy me 2 not enemies! 
When I began to understand our so called ‘sin nature’ to be one of sociology and not biology (not born with it, but into it), whether or not Jesus’ birth was a buy gucci envy me 2 virgin one became a non-issue for me. If the propensity to/for buy gucci envy me 2 sin is a product of our environment and not one of genetics (and I believe it is), then buy gucci envy me 2 it is no longer necessary for Jesus to have been conceived supernaturally by a buy gucci envy me 2 virgin in order for Him to have escaped the ‘sin nature’ and be ‘without sin’. So I no buy gucci envy me 2 longer connect the divinity of Jesus to the manner in which He was conceived.
Me thinks she has it!
