The idea that we are given faith by grace to believe these truths is astounding and humbling to say the least. Once I believed none of it and suddenly 26 years ago I believed it all overnight. God is good!

However, I left the virgin birth out here because those uninformed and those lacking understanding of this fact can still be Christians. For example, when the early Christians believed and were saved I doubt if they initially understood this. Even in the Churches today people come to Jesus on the bases of faith without knowing many doctrinal truths. Having said that, <strong>I think if someone were informed and studied why Jesus had to be born of a virgin and then denied the virgin birth they might need to question why they think they are a Christian if they are denying foundational truths.</strong> Of course that also could be said about many of my points in the article so I guess I should have included it. It was just a judgment call to leave it out. I agree with what you said the virgin birth is a fundamental foundational truth of Christianity.

However, I did not see anything about the virgin birth. As you know, this fact is mocked by unbelievers and is under attack like never before. Jesus could not have a sinless nature if he had a human father. Excellent article. However, I did not see anything about the virgin birth.
