I will say this one more time .. and hopefully it will not be misunderstood.

3 of the Gospels describe the birth of Jesus, John does not. There is no dispute in this statement. The fact that you're trying to pick this apart is just apalling! There's nothing to pick apart. I don't know why John didn't describe the birth of Jesus .. he just didn't. GOD knows and that's good enough for me.

To say, "In the beginning was the Word ...", is not describing the birth of Jesus. It really says that Jesus always was .. and I don't have any argument with that.

Pick it apart? Appalling? Surely you didn't read what I actually wrote.

above:

And that one source doesn't mention something that another source talks about doesn't mean that the first source is fictional. This writer is either extremely ignorant of the material in question or extremely motivated to undercut its message. I think it's probably the latter. The question to be asked is, "What's in it for him?".

you may have mistakenly concluded that I was referring to you rather than to the author of the piece that headed this thread.
