This podcast will take you on a journey through the Bible. It takes the Scriptures, beginning in Genesis, explains what they meant when they were written, and what they mean to you today. In the end, we hope you discover what the Bible says about itself; that it is "sharper than a two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit....and is a discern-er of the thoughts and intents of the heart."

The Controversies of Christmas; Virginity

Episode 16
At Christmas each year we read the story in Matthew and Luke about Jesus' virgin conception. And Matthew tells us that it was predicted 700 years before by the prophet Isaiah when he said, "Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and you shall call His Immanuel."
And each year there are those who would cast doubt on the virgin conception by saying that this prophecy in Isaiah had nothing to do with the Coming Messiah, and that Matthew mishandled Scripture by quoting from the Greek translation of the original Hebrew text.
This message addresses those questions.
