You assume that a "virgin birth" is
Some sort of credential and I asked you to back it up. all you are doing is giving blanket statements in hopes that I accept the premise. Funny but you still aren't answering the question.אברהם אבן עזרא

No, I am expecting you to understand the premise, and I didn't assume. Your king messiahs have always been BarKochbas; there will never be a successful one. Same can be said of the failure of the Akiba messiahs.
Um you do know that there was only one Bar Koziba and only one messiah that Akiva supported and that was bar Koziba right? Apparently, according to you there is plurality of Bar Kozibas out there in the year 135CE.
By the way, Rabbi Akiva thought Bar Koziba was the messiah because he was doing things that the messiah was supposed to do see Hilchot Melachim U'Milchmoteihem 11. And when Bar Koziba died, Rabbi Akiva admitted he was wrong unlike other messianic claimants, Jesus and Shabbatai Tzvi, and their followers when their claimant died.Last edited by Avraham Ibn Ezra; 06-09-2014, 09:04 AM.אברהם אבן עזרא

I guess your shtick is making empty general statements based on fallacious reasoning. Come back when you can support your empty broad statements.
And yes you did say there were more than one. You specifically wrote "your king messiahs have always been BarKochbas" and "failure of the Akiba messiahs." You seemed to have a plurality in mind when you used the plural each of these times. Are you denying that you wrote this?אברהם אבן עזרא

A messianic claimant must be a son of David through Solomon to sit on the throne of the kingdom. It isn't just any Tom, Dick, and Harry that can be the Moshiach Ben David. So your concerns are just a tad exaggerated and pretty much irrelevant.
According to Hilchot Melachim U'Milchmoteihem 11, which sums up who and what the messiah son of David is and will do, Bar Koziba actually came closer than Jesus did. But unlike Jesus when Bar Koziba died without completing the job, his supporters admitted they were wrong. Thy didnt start a whole new religion and say he will come back and do the rest.
Also, being called "son of G-d" is not all that unique for kings or even the messiah son of David. In fact King David was called G-d's son in Psalm 2:7 and Solomon was called G-d's son in 2 Samuel 7:14. What you are saying isn't profound. What is profound is how you interpret "son of G-d" as a literal thing. It amazes me sometimes.
With all of that said I still don't see how this would cause a need for a virgin birth!אברהם אבן עזרא

Apparently you missed the part about the criteria and the location of the criteria. If you don't meet the criteria it means you aren't messiah. Of course I anticipated you not reading that little but because if you did you wouldn't have made this naieve statement.
God did not want a pretender who could be anybody.אברהם אבן עזרא

Scriptural proof that G-d needed to cause a "virgin birth" because he didn't want a pretender. Your proof must state he did it because he don't want a pretender otherwise you are eisegeting the text. I won't hold my breath.Last edited by Omniskeptical; 06-10-2014, 06:15 PM.

It doesn't have to,
and God doesn't care anymore the Jews than any other people on the planet.
Why is him being the son of God so important in the NT?
Oh, I am sorry, you believe in a smaller canon which also has history gaps concerning Israel.
Also, I follow the cannon. Judaism is not sola scriptura and I doubt you know the first thing about Judaism to argue to the contrary.אברהם אבן עזרא
