“WOW, you know this for a fact....despite learned theologins throughout the ages disagreeing with you. I sure wish I had your insight into how God does things”

I know it for a fact because that’s what Scripture says —not what I say— and Scripture is God-breathed. As for learned theologians, well, they’re no doubt Roman Catholic, no? Other learned theologians are no doubt against this too, right?

“but why would God have chosen a soiled vessel to house his Begotten Son...”

Why not? Is God not almighty? Is he not sovereign? Do you believe he was incapable of using a “soiled vessel” and yet remain sinless? Do you think God to be incapable of that?

I don’t. God can do anything.

you say God can do anything.....of course He can, but does He????I don’t think so. Did He have to allow Christ to be crucified.....of course not, any shedding of blood by Christ would have sufficed or for that matter, He could have just declared that man was redeemed....no need for all that crown of thorn thing to tske place at all. But God is a jealous God....He is so almighty that only the sacrifice of His begotten Son would appease for the salvation of mankind. Could God have planted the embryo of Jesus in a stained, faulty, sinful container.....I guess He could have, but why would He have insulted His son by doing so when it was very easy for Him to create a PERFECT container. There are those who claim that God created a bunch of relics, old rocks, bones...etc in order to make the earth seem older than it really is........do you think that the creator of the univeerse has nothing better to do than to try to fool you with immaculate conceptions, assumptions and the like?????must make you feel very important
