Wrong, again! Just what do you think "Virgin Birth" really means?  It means only that the mother has conceived and given birth without ever having had sex or having been inseminated by other means.  The child will still share at least half of its DNA with its mother, and if the child is female, it is essentially a clone of the mother; but if the child is male, then that little "y" chromosome was either a mutation, or it was induced by an external agent.  That is science fact.
But that makes Jesus a created being like JW's and Arians believed which contradicts the trinity.
Who cares what JWs and Arians believe?  Again, read your Bible!
Don't own the New Testament, I study Rabbi's on youtube.I'm giving you there arguments, I don't read New Testament.
Do you expect to have a rational discussion on Christianity when you seem to have little knowledge of what you are talking about?  Do you expect to have a rational discussion on science when you seem to know little about the subject?
I'm not ignorant of science and I know what DNA is.Science is not an issue here.

My point is that how can an un-created divine God have human DNA.God can't have human DNA.

That's the Virgin Mary!!  The voices told me so!!

The fact that Michael Jackson died a virgin is pure coincidence...

:wink:

That would be blasphemy and idolatry.

Watch Rabbi Tovia Singer,he is a New Testament expert,on what's flawed with it and wrong with it.

Again, says who?

G^D is infinite.  If He chooses to manifest Himself with human DNA, then who are you to say otherwise?

A person whose religion is opposed to the idea that the Messiah has already been born is not one to be an "expert" on the accounts of that Messiah's origin and activities -- he has a vested interest in "proving" Jesus either wasn't the Messiah, or that He was never born at all.

^^^
I guess then we're at an evidentiary stalemate then.
At this point the issue has moved to blind faith.Which can't be argued on a forum because that can only be felt.

I'm not arguing further.

No you don't win,because if you say through an infinite God anything is possible.

You can just as well argue that the grass is purple and the earth is flat.You can argue anything by saying through an all powerful God all things are possible.

Reality says that if Jesus really was divine and the New Testament is meant to be taken literally then the Tanakh or Old Testament never had value and the God of Abraham,Yitzakh and Yaakov never existed then.

It used to be my signature, until a mod pointed out that I was only stating the obvious.
