[Invincibly Ignorant]

What relevant context do you see in Matthew 1 other than Christ was born of a virgin?

Apparently more than you see.

John 6 does not discuss salvation and predestination. But the Gospels do, in many chapters, and it is virtually impossible to get a Protestant to discuss the healing episodes and the parables, which are essential if one wants to understand the Pauline formulae in Romans.

What? You should have been around when these threads were 15,000 posts long.

There's still hope.
