Virgin birth of Jesus
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgin_birth_of_Jesus
The topic "virgin birth of Jesus" is often mixed up with the topic "immaculate conception".
As I have opened a thread for the one topic, I think I should also open a thread for the other.
So now I ask: Is anyone here who believes in the virgin birth of Jesus?
The virgin birth of Jesus is the Christian doctrine that Jesus was conceived and born by his mother Mary through the power of the Holy Spirit and without sexual intercourse.[1] The New Testament references are Matthew 1:18-25 and Luke 1:26-38. It is not expressly mentioned elsewhere in the Christian scriptures,[2] and the consensus of modern scholars is that its historical foundations are very flimsy.[3] The Orthodox churches accept the doctrine as authoritative by reason of its inclusion in the Nicene Creed,[4] and the Catholic Church likewise holds it authoritative for faith through the Apostles' Creed as well as the Nicene. Christians, including Protestants, traditionally regard it as an explanation of the mixture of the human and divine natures of Jesus.[4][1] Nevertheless, there are many contemporary churches in which it is considered orthodox to accept the virgin birth but not heretical to deny it.[5]
