He goes on to talk about how Isaiah . . . then historicizes it with reference to the coming Messiah, as the ritual technical term for an embodiment of a divine mother, who is both a fecund mother, a fruitful mother, as well as a perpetual virgin.

Not so fast, hot shot. Isaiah says nothing of the kind.

I kind of assumed that the great theological arguments from the lofty magicsterical based GRAND ARCHETYPAL SEMINARY OF MM THEOLOGY would be a kind of fun thing to respond to . . . but this is ridiculous.

It appears that we have left of with BRAZEN ASSUMPTIONS, BRAZEN INFERENCES, BRAZEN EXTRAPOLATIONS AND BRAZEN INVENTIONS OUT OF WHOLE CLOTH and made some galactic leaps into fantasized theological postulations from the mystical ethers.

I don't find a shred of a hint in Isatiah that says anything of the kind. The author may as well have referenced that THE GREAT THEOLOGICAL TRETISE:

"THE PERPETUAL PROFUNDITY OF BRIEFLY VIRGINAL VERACITIES FROM THE DAYDREAMS OF THE GREAT SAINTS OF HOLLYWEED" BY HOWDY DOODY, GONZO, GOOFY AND DAFFY DUCK.

Actually, the latter treatise would probably make more sense and have more accurate historicity to it.

The declaration that Isaiah's mention of a virgin to bring forth the Messiah . . . EQUALS . . . perpetual virginity is akin to . . . what . . . from the GREAT SEMINARY OF MM THEOLOGY . . . ? ? ?

Let me think . . . ponder, ponder . . .

1. Yogi Bear Being the archebypal Great Father with Boo-Boo as John the Baptist. Or perhaps . . .

2. Don Quixote as contractor of the Twin Towers with a new assistant--Inspector Clouseau. Or perhaps . . .

3. The great spiritual truths outlined in that magnificently miraculous biography of that galactic love story: SPOCK MARRIES HELLO DOLLY. . . or maybe . . .

4. The perpetual wisdom of Opie, Barney Fife and Roger Rabbit.

Any of the above would have AT LEAST AS MUCH theological historicity as the postulations, wild haired extrapolations and bounced-off-the-moon theological fantasies from the ESTEEMED GRAND ARCHETYPAL SEMINARY OF MONOPOLY MONEY THEOLOGY . . . outlined in the doc originating this thread.

LOL. Scott Hahn, once a Protestant, thinks he can slip this past more discerning eyes by simply labeling this concocted nuttiness as a "Scriptural View of Mary."

Ha! Nowhere in Scripture is Mary spoken of as anything other than a simple, devout young woman whom God chose to give birth to His Son.

This essay is gibberish and one day Hahn will have to answer for encouraging people to take their eyes off of Jesus Christ.
