How do you know these things? is there a passage that says God has no DNA? We are made in the image of god, and since we have DNA, why wouldn't god have DNA?
Because the bible says the spirit is separate from flesh. Flesh is of DNA, so I just made a pretty good educated guess.
but if he was showing a miracle, instead of seeding Mary, shouldn't god have chosen something even stranger, like a goose or Carrottop? If a man was born of a goose and said he was the son of god, I would tend to believe it. But being born of a chick who claims she didn't do the nasty, too many reasons to lie.
If you are born of a virgin; that's a pretty awesome miracle. Also, if you pay attention to the story; god needed human parents to raise Jesus. I just don't require the odd miracles you think needs to happen. I feel the miracle in my life every day.
I am pretty sure God knows all he needs to about DNA whether he is made of it or not. But I wonder if he has the patience magnifier.
Ha! I have been Spell Checked! I corrected the word that I intended to use in the previous post. patience
Just catch any episode of Maruy Povich from back in the day and you see women lying about who they banged. No way could he be the daddy of my baby, i never even slept with him, cut to, the DNA says within a .009% chance, He IS THE FATHER. Just saying It would be much more believable if God had gotten some dude preggo. Most people have heard this story, but still a freakish real like virgin pregnancy.
Is you intent to argue if Jesus wasn't from a virgin; I guess you can bring up all sorts of Maury ideas. But we both were neither there. I choose to accept the story in the bible. You question it. Neither of us have physical proof. So basically you have faith that he wasn't of the virgin and I have faith he was. Sound good?
Well, I have read that the use of the word Virgin in the Bible is actually a mistranslation in the King James version of the Bible for the Hebrew phrase for Young Woman. And this maybe so, but then on the other hand, the resume of Jesus is quite like that of Christna including his birth from a Virgin Mother. So the precedent is there, why should I bicker, the Philosophy of living as a result of the teaching of Jesus are all about us everyday. Thank goodness it is so because I for one prefer to live among Christians.
Come on man, are you really wanting to go back to that? You have faith, leave it at that. Mostly, I'm just having fun with the virgin part of the story. Every component could be picked apart, and if you are a stickler (which you are not) then that could be a real problem. But if you take the bible as more a guide to Jesus than a word for word accounting (which I believe you do), then all these trivial components can easily be brushed aside. Mostly, if you really want me to ask the question that keeps coming back, I will, but I know what your answer will be. But that doesn't mean I actually will believe your answer. Me: Come on, do you REALLY believe in Jesus? You: Yes, I REALLY Do. Me: Really? You: Yes, really! Me: You're telling me, that you have no doubt that Jesus was real and was the son of god? You: Absolutely. Me: So if there was a button that could be pushed to reveal the answer, but when you pushed it a gun was held to you head and if the answer came back NO, the gun would blow you away, you would have no problem at all pushing that button? You: No problem at all, I know Jesus and that's all there is to it. Me: I still don't believe you. You: Too bad. Who do you think the Blazers will get as their Center for next season? Me: I don't know, perhaps Jordan, hey, wait a second, are we done with the last conversation? You: I know I am, Me: Ya, all right, do you still trip ever? and scene.
wha? i mean its either one or the other right? half mary, or all god its weird to think that jesus was a zygote at one point, or that he was a bratty 3 year old who kept whining to his mom for more camel milk, or that he got boners and farted, and probably had a wet dream or two, and got itchy balls, and had bad breath, and hangnails, and got a headache when he got thirsty
No it doesn't. When I think of the spirit; I think of it as an unmeasurable entity. At least that isn't measure by current equipment. I believe in the trinity. I think all of us have a bit of God in us. Our Holy Spirit is of God. Then there is the absolute God. Then I see Jesus as God's son; who is God. It may sound confusing; but I understand it. Our flesh is flesh and our spirit is separate from our flesh. So Jesus could be flesh, but have as much God in him that is separate from his flesh:
Yeah, look at you. Got it all figured out in that drug-addled brain of yours. I just want to know why you two think Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, Mormons, Jews, Rastafarians, Scientologists, Sikhs, and the rest of the non-Christian people on Earth (i.e. the majority of humanity) are ignorant and wrong, whilst you two are enlightened and right? What made you decide to completely invalidate their religions and regard their deities as false Gods?
Oh playing that card? Seems like you got it all figured out... Like borat used to say .... Pause ..... NAWT!
What card? You're the one always bringing up your drug use & how it's expanded your mind... but way to avoid the question. I just want to know why you think every other religion on earth is wrong and you're right.
Show me where is said that? I just think your wrong. But that's not really hard to prove. Lmao at the "always bringing up"! Okay fez!
