“most Biblical scholars regard the evidence for the Virgin Birth … as so shaky that it pretty much has to be a leap of faith”

I wonder how these brilliant scholars view the evidence for Creation.

(Hint to scholars: if God can create the universe, you think the virgin birth was difficult for him?)

Exactly! He stumbles at the thought of a virgin birth, but not at the idea of the Eternal and Omnipotent Creator becoming Incarnate as a helpless infant?

How then did they heap on themselves the title 'biblical scholar'???

Some people study about the bible...Others study the bible...There's a world of difference...

Just chuck these guy's opinions into the round file and continue on learning God...
