I'm eager to finish so I can maybe understand why he even became a priest. He is one of those Jesus Seminar people, I think.

It's 24 verses/oikoi long, so that'd be a lot of typing and it'd be slow coming out. I figure if you have any questions about a phrase, you'll speak up.<br /><br />re: your new book. Should I even bother to say how wrong that theory is? <br /><br />I guess, if you don't believe that Jesus is God, and you go with the theory that he was just a political revolutionary that it doesn't matter how he came to be born. But, assuming that this priest is a practicing Anglican, last time I checked they were (nominally) mainstream Christians and therefore Trinitarian. Does he really think that God would enter the world through an act that He declared sinful?Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09002997517784638068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080372433953859587.post-41620579075013932592011-03-13T10:04:04.881-04:002011-03-13T10:04:04.881-04:00I've really enjoyed these posts as they have h...I've really enjoyed these posts as they have helped me learn quite a bit about the story of Mary from Tradition. As for sharing the hymn, I'd like to read that information, but if you are ready to move on, I understand. Maybe you could highlight your favorite lines if you don't want to discuss them line by line. <br /><br />I started reading a book yesterday by an Anglican priest and I was shocked in the first chapter when he told the "likely" story of Mary's pregnancy. She and Joseph met while he was in Mary's hometown doing some carpentry work. They hit it off and had sex and - tada!- there was Jesus. <br /><br />I was glad I had these posts of yours to compare what he was saying to what others have said.<br /><br />From this post, the OT examples were some I would never have considered in the same way. Quite fascinating!<br /><br />Thanks for the good lesson!Susannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03115294023069458287noreply@blogger.com
