The virgin birth is far less mind-boggling than the power of all Creation stooping so low as to become one of us.

Author Frederica Mathewes-Greene said:

When I was around eight or nine, I went through a spurt of having very strong faith. My parents didn't think it was entirely healthy to be that religious. When I'd say that I wanted to be a nun (because we didn't know of any other way of giving your whole life to Christ), they said that was neurotic and that I was running away from life. So I got the message that ...


The Unpopular Virgin BirthPrinter view

Tone: Neutral/Mixed

Joseph, have you heard what Mary said occurred?

Yes, it may be so. Is it likely? No.

Mary may be pure, but Joseph, are you sure?

How is one to tell? Suppose, for instance, well,
