If a virgin (pay attention now) about to be married was told that she was (pay attention now) going to conceive a child (note the future tense) why would she conclude that it must be a miracle?

When God told Abraham and Sarah that she was going to conceive, she didn't assume that it would be without a man's help.

Please think about this.

Your reading comprehension skills suck this morning. Pay close attention. "How can this be?, I know not a man" (Since your paying careful attention to tenses this morning, note present tense). Slam dunk and all that. I'm tired of your private interpretation.

Horse. Water. No drink.

Forget about the "i know not a man" part. I agree it is present tense.

Focus on the entire idea of why she would ask "how can this be?"

If she was about to get married and have lots of juicy sex, wouldn't she expect to conceive a child in a natural way?

Re 49685

None of that means that I can not disagree with another's interpretation. Just as you scoff at my synthesis, I scoff at his hyperliteral interpretation.

Except John 6. That is, until we get to John 6:63.

You are a phony!

What is your problem!?

I state that we mutually scoff at each other's interpretations. Which is nothing but true.

And you call me a "phony" for this? Please settle down.
