I suggest you do the same.

Gospel of Matthew - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The gospel was written within 50 years of his death not 1000

The virgin birth symbolizes purity, Mickiel. I don't interpret it literally.

I apologize for one too many zeros, but Matthew is thought by some sources to have been written at the end of the 1st century. So let's split the difference and call it 75. Either way, the anonymous author of the Book Matthew as a contemporary of Jesus and certainly was present at his gestation or birth.

I apologize for the smart assiness

Well Adam was created, not born; it was " A type of birth", but he was the first man with consciousness; yet still you make a good point. Adam was not created from human spamodazoa , nor formed in a female fetus; which is why the bible calls him the firstborn man " Of the earth." Which is part of the proof I use in speculating that primordal man created much before him, were not conscious humans.

Jesus is conversely called the first born man from " Above." Or from another dimension. That dimension is what all of us are destined to " Evolve into."

Matthew was the author of Matthews; one simple reason it is called the book of Matthews. The book was written in A.D. 50.

I agree part of it symbolizes purity, but parts of the bible are literal. Those parts that are literal can be interpreted literally. I believe the virgin birth was literal.

Well if that's true at least that shows that your man-god is not of the Davidic blood line and can't be the Jewish Messiah.....so that's cleared that up.

What's "spamadozoa" by the way and where can I get some?

From a Christian perspective there is no doubt on this and compliments to the thread.The Angel Gabriel expressly declared this for our consolation, when he saluted BVM saying, fear not thou has found grace. This express's the vigin birth in the Son of God. This is the Christian understanding. Also,where the Son is a King the Mother is rightly and truly considered Queen and Sovereign. We would then consider the glory of the Son not only as being common to his Mother, but as one with Her. The Blessedness in the Christian understanding as the direct Son of God is important.

I personally don't agree with the Christian perspective on certain things , and certainly don't trust it. And I certainly disagree that Mary was on the same level as Christ. I do not view her as a Queen or Sovereign. I view her as an incubator and a good woman.

Mary and Joseph were both from the tribe of Judah and descendants of David. Joseph through Solomon and Mary through Solomons brother Nathan. Although Josephs blood was not in Jesus, he inherits the bloodline through Mary. Mary had no brothers and was entitled to inherit her familys land as long as she married someone who was also descended from David, Joseph fit that bill and there is no loophole for synics to harp on. Jesus was a biological descendant of David through Mary.
