Nick,I have given my questions/suggestions/thoughts and scriptures relating to the conception of Jesus, not sure what more I can give you.
meerkat replied to the topic Conception in the forum Scriptural Teachings 15 years, 11 months ago
Jesus was a carnal man in the flesh before he died – he was raised by the Holy Spirit after death.

Nick ,Sorry for the sarcasm b4 – but really why is man not meant to be used in Jesus conception if he was a natural fleshly man?? And Jesus was also a natural man in the flesh – he was raised by the Spirit of God.1 John 4:2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God;flesh…[Read more]

We are told in one part of the bible (OT) Jewish scriptures that God desires sacrifices and burnt offerings, and in another part of the scriptures that God did not command them concerning burnt offerings and sacrifices – Did God change or did the Jews do something that the heathens were doing saying “God said, Moses said” when God did not say ………
