    HA! Little do you know.

    I mean everyone knows that everyone back then spoke Early Modern English, specifically what is known as "Jacobean" although many erroneously think it was "Elizabethan" (after all, it is the King JAMES Bible, not the Queen Elizabeth Bible )

    I'm always still in trouble again

      Indeed. Though I do not believe that implies any sort of physical sexual act was involved. Do you?
      My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1

      If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not  bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26

      This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

        Absolutely not, since God is Spirit, and the Holy Ghost is Spirit.
        The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Yet Christ says that "I and the Father are one", which means that even while 'separated' they were still 'one' - and thus not 'really' separated in the sense you imply. This is the mystery of the Trinity, the idea that God is Three, you fully just One.

              I doubt very much there was any physical form used to cause the immaculate conception. A minimum set of conclusions assuming a normal gestation would be that the zygote would have simply been created and follow the natural process from there. To meet the scriptural criteria, the source DNA would be 1/2 from Mary, 1/2 something human but not from any human alive on earth at the time which was designed and made by God to be the Christ. But as MM said, there is no official speculation or teaching as to 'how' this came to be. It was simply a miracle.

                    Wait a minute! That can't be right. I remember a film called "The Burning Hell" back in the 1970s with John R. Rice and Jack Hyles. God and Father Abraham both had a strong southern accent. I think Jesus did also.

                    I remember when my church showed it. I suggested they turn the heat all the way up so that we could watch it in Sensurround (C).

                            If the King James Bible was good enough for Jesus and the apostles then it's good enough for me.
                            Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
                            But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
                            Than a fool in the eyes of God

                                I took my wife and kids to the second National Sword Conference on Revival and Soul Winning at Cobo Hall in Detroit in 1977. Were you there by any chance?
