Don't shoot the messenger, but rumor has it in the Jewish camp that there is no Virgin Birth narrative in the earliest manuscripts of the Greek New Testament. Exploring the Jewish point of view on the Virgin Birth is my lifelong quest. Join me!

Neither the Epistles, nor the Acts, nor the Revelation refer either explicitly or even implicitly to a Virgin Birth. I'm talking earliest translations ... as far as I know. The problem is that this "fact" gets picked up on by nutbar evangelicals to promote some wacho fringe Christianity ... and all they're really doing is reviving the old "creature vs. divine" nature of Jesus the Catholic Church had back in the 4th century (Arian Controversy). Nothing new here... :) In fact, it's very old.

Right, you are, Jeff! Nor is it in the gospels of Matthew or Luke, contrary to popular opinion. (In the earliest Greek manuscripts, that is!) I'm new to this whole site. Thanks for your comment. :-) I'm reading about you. I'll keep you in mind. I wrote a 3 volume Dialogue, but decided to use the research in a screenplay, instead. Decided that'd be a wild adventure, and it 'tis! Happy 4th!
Why are you so angry Deborah?
Hi Pup Che :-) thanks for asking. I'm not angry, though. Too many things to be grateful for!
I like the story of the angel letting Joseph know Mary had kept her vow and she'd serve a divine purpose to deliver a savior
