Why We Believe in the Virgin Birth

Pundits with pebbles wander far from the historic gospel.

The Jesus Seminar's pebble-based "research" is really a vote against faith. We do not know, and we do not need to know, the how of the miracle of Christmas. What we celebrate this month is mystery but not myth. The Word indeed became flesh - not just human, but flesh, that part of the human that is most vulnerable, most fragile, most susceptible to the cruel ravages of time. The Virgin Birth confirms the extent to which the Son of God was willing to go to become our Redeemer and our Brother.
