Amazing.
As if a supernatural being that created all we know simply isn’t capable of a virgin birth!
I often envision some of these people just doggedly determined to spend eternity dismissing God to the point that if they could meet Jesus in person, be saved for whatever reason outside the nrmal reasons, say for God’s own scinetific experiment; and they spent etermity in heaven, and after a ga-jillion years they’d STILL try to convince people around them that it’s all just a trick of the mind or a dream or ANYTHING in order to deny God.
There simply IS no convincing them there is a God...and the fact that God made these people is something MUCH MUCH harder for me to grasp, personally.
Free will I guess.
How about ‘God made the system which eventually popped these people into existence’ as a more meaningful assertion than trying to blame God for the failed products of free will?
When Jesus was on earth the first time, doing miracles, raising the dead and so on . . . there were still a bunch of folks in the audience demanding that he give them a “sign” before they’d consider his apparent authority.
No wonder he said: you got your sign, buddy, and you won’t get another except the sign of Jonah!
