No bait; no switch -- just Bible.
The bible says "she gave birth." That means that "she gave birth."
When her conception of Jesus was different, the bible pointed it out.
Words mean something. I don't believe I'm discussing this. Just be honest with you, it's unnecessary. Virgins are virgins because they haven't engaged in sex. The aren't virgins because they have intact hymens.
Will you agree that a horse-riding young girl whose hymen ruptures is a sexually experienced young lady?
I agree. But the claim in question is not whether she gave birth, but whether she gave birth "exactly like" your birth and mine. And the Bible does not say that Christ's birth was "exactly like" your birth and mine.
Virgins are virgins because they haven't engaged in sex. The aren't virgins because they have intact hymens.
The two are not mutually exclusive.
Will you agree that a horse-riding young girl whose hymen ruptures is a sexually experienced young lady?
Of course not. But I never claimed otherwise.
