>>>>It’s as logical as the virgin birth, or creation out of nothing, or the resurrection of the dead.<<<<

The virgin birth is plainly enough written of. There was never any dispute about that among the early Church, nor is it in any way an invention of men ---not unless one were to dismiss the witnesses who attested to that fact -- a multitude of them having apparently enough testified to the writer of the Gospel of Luke.

Creation ex-nihilo

As this link, offers in part, some discussion/explanation;

The Bible never expressly states that God made everything from nothing, but it is implied. In Hebrews 11:3 we read, “By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.” Scholars take this to mean that the universe came into existence by divine command and was not assembled from preexisting matter or energy.

The resurrection of the dead is clearly spoken of within Scripture, even from within the Old Testament. That Christ resurrected from the grave by no means equates that the doctrines and dogma later arising and delineated among men regarding transubstantiation are themselves line-by-line equal to being the written Word of God.

“Goodbye. I’m not going to deal with a single other thing you had to say in this reply. It’s not worth it. You’re still wrong and will stay that way (until you repent—turn around and go the other way).”

“Goodbye.”

As an Easter gift I’ll help you stick to your own words.
