. Nevertheless, the fact remains that the Virgin Birth WAS NOT a "natural" child birth in any sense of the word.

In what way was it different? Do you believe it was painless?

On the contrary, it shows that the Blessed Mother and Saint Joseph were totally devoted to their Son. From the time of His Birth onward they were in fear for His life (not their own, but His). EVERYTHING they did was for Him. The Holy Family WAS NOT a "normal" family, they were the most incredibly abnormal family in all of history.

I do not recall them running for Jesus life except when they fled to Egypt when he was a baby ? Could you show me where else in the bible it addresses this?

I have only one comment on the holy family not being "a normal" family. Christ came to this world as an infant to live a normal human life, to experience all the life events and things that all jewish boys and men experienced.. He did not come here to be a demi god or to live a life separated from humanity.

So I would think His childhood and life were very ordinary.. until he was baptized and began His ministry
