DM says of Judy, 'your interpretation'! As he placed himself alongside JT on
the 'inspiration/illumination' thingy then, once again I commend him for
recanting.

David, I don't see the immaculate conception and

both are the thinking of religious spirits through men

I'm glad to hear that, but history tells us that those who embrace the
premise which you have will be forced eventually either to abandon their
premise or accept the logical consequence of their thinking that Mary
herself had to be different too.

Also I believe that going on and on about David's
genitals is equally bizarre. What is too difficult for
God? Does he have to do things the same way
every time?
We must start with the premise that God did it this way because the Bible
teaches us that he did it this way. Then we seek to understand it. As we
do, we come to an understanding of justice and God's legal system that
helps
us understand it. We also come to understand the full extent of
salvation,
and how salvation culminated at the cross, but was not entirely
accomplised
only by what happened at the cross. There is so much more that could be
said, but not enough time to say it all. My point is only that God could
do
it in many different ways, but we are taught in Scripture how he did it.
We
should accept that.

Scripture says Jesus was born of the woman and
he was born pure and holy - without the taint of
the first Adam. This is what I believe.
The last part, "without the taint of the first Adam," is not in the Bible.
It is your interpretation of the word "holy." My perspective is that the
taint of the first Adam being resident within the physical body does not
automatically make a person unholy. Else, how could John the Baptist be
filled with the Holy Ghost from his mother's womb?
As for the rest of what you said, I agree. Jesus was born of the woman
and
was pure and holy.
