“American Christianity is becoming less intellectual and more mystical over time,” he explains”

Nonsense, American Christians and Christians from time recorded believe in all manner of miracles, from creation out of nothing to chariots of fire to water into wine to the RESURRECTION, lest we forget -

what poppycock this denier is spouting. Christianity without miracles is not Christianity.

...and Christianity without prophecy is not Christianity. I once heard that prophecy was a distinctive feature of Judeo-Christianity. Not only were the important facts about Jesus (virgin birth & crucifixion) foretold in the Old Testament, but Jesus himself was a prophet, predicting the destruction of the Temple. These liberal theologians who challenge the virgin birth are just trying to whittle away at the entire structure.

Remember how the serpent in the Garden challenged Adam: "Did God really say that?" (Yes, He really did.) Satan wants us to doubt. Resist him, and he will flee.
