Ok, can you tell me what led to it and why it happened? In a nutshell?

I’m not sure which posts this was referring to but my response is did anyone truly ever do that 100% of the time?That brings up a good point, ding. Nobody represents the people anymore.
I agree with you she was not a virgin.I guess you just swallowed and repeated that bullshit without really having the testicular fortitude to back it up and say proudly that this is what you believe.
Earlier you were talking like you were the expert and all these other Christians were just ignorant. Now you seem to be backpeddling. I don't think you want to try to defend that comment that you don't think Mary was really a virgin. That would be like saying you believe Jesus was just a really good dude. Do you know who believes that? Muslims and Jews.
In your defense, I don't think Mary was a virgin either.
Well, the discussion is very fragmented. When discussing chronological accounts like these there really does need to be a starting point.
In terms of Mary, did I not provide the correct Greek and Latin translations? Did you check me? I think you'll find that I'm correct.
Why?Ok, can you tell me what led to it and why it happened? In a nutshell?Do you know much about the inquisition?
I can likely hold a conversation.
ding, don't do that to me.
Don’t do what?Do you know why he told it?
Don't do it, ding. I'll leave you on your own here with these people. I hate when people start asking me a bunch of questions like that one after the other.
If I didn't think I was capable of having a discussion I wouldn't participate in one.
I am literally trying to have a discussion with you. It seems you don’t want a discussion but want me to argue points instead. That isn’t a discussion.Do you know why he told it?

Jesus told that parable as a response to a question he was asked by a law expert who was testing him, “and who is my neighbor?”Do you know why he told it?

The purpose of this thread is to discuss if man is predisposed to spirituality.
Since the beginning of man, man has had belief in a higher power. This belief has persisted throughout man’s existence.
Even today man overwhelming identifies himself as spiritual. So even though the grouping between belief in a specific religion may be declining, man has not abandoned his belief that he is more than just matter.

There are many things one can read that are written from the old records. I started reading everything I could get my eyes on some years back but I was drawn by the Spirit to do so and for me it was as total of a search that I could do with limited resources and a lot of help from the Spirit to guide me. The emphasis on the Spirit has been largely ignore and it still is today as evidence in these conversations on this message board. Tell someone here you have seen demons manifest in people or the light of God shining through someone a lot of this society would toss in a moment and it is pretty obvious you'll get a lot of trolls coming out of the wood work here. If faith is the key and Jesus saw the demons and spiritual portions of those met along the way I cannot see what the big deal is with some? That word where he says and you will do greater things wasn't made in vain. Nor is the portion that tells us that the Lord will pour out his spirit. I think it all knits together nicely if one is serious about finding the truth and has been called to search it out but that is just me.The flaw in thinking to the world instead of the spirit. How is a spiritual being conceived?
That's why I mentioned the Gospel of Thomas to ding earlier. Another one omitted. A rather important one, too.
