Virgin Mary, Ark of the Covenant

[Bucky Ball]

This sort of objection demonstrates a lack of realization that there is NO relevance for the virgin birth in the places where it is lacking mention. Remember, the NT materials were written to people who ALREADY believed the Gospel. By the time the were reading this stuff, they had already accepted all of the basic tenets, and already had all the basic information.

"They" were never "reading" it. The literacy rate was about 5%. The gospels were not written to be "read". They were written to be "proclaimed" in liturgies. Nothing in them is "reported". The Hebrews had no word for "history" in the sense we understand it today. The content was ALREADY believed, thus is just a list of what was already believed. They are absolutely NOT "historical". Your "true doctrine" bullshit is the DEFINITION of "circular logic". No scholar talks about "pagans" in 2014. I see you must have been home-schooled.

That was incoherent to you? You poor thing, because you might have gained something from what I said.

And what I said was in no way ad populum.
That is saying that there is a reason to believe something because it is popular. Definitely not what I was saying.

Don't care what you think the point is or whether or not I have addressed it.

Then STFU. If I need any advice from the likes of you, I'll be sure and ask.
