    Actually............. it could be critical for Christians to come to the realization that it would be OK.... if when the Holy Spirit overshadowed Mary/ Myriam..... that she was told to go and sleep with her espoused husband several months previous to the time that the traditions of the time dictated!

    Judaism teaches that the Messiah/ Moshiach...… would not be an alien - human hybrid.... and we would do well to consider that the Jewish scholars could well be onto something important with this idea.

    There are other details about the life of Rabbi Yeshua/ Jesus that are (in my opinion) being revealed at this time....... because all events of the past have been recorded as was demonstrated in the Helen Wambach Ph. D. and Dr. Chet Snow studies.

    Here is an introduction to some of the most fascinating material on the life of Yeshua/ Jesus that I have ever read.....

    I now am of the belief that when the Holy Spirit/Holy Ghost overshadowed Mary/ Myriam.... she was told to go sleep with Joseph several months previous to the time when the custom of the time period allowed........... The Word/Logos was claiming superiority over the traditions of men regarding marriage.......... In Scotland during the time when my English ancestors were oppressing the Scots..... a husband and wife would often just walk off into the forest and the husband would say essentially....."I will try to be a good husband to ye!"..... and the young woman would say something to the effect of....."and I will try to be a good wife to ye!"..... and voila... they were married...… and obviously those marriages were more blessed by the Word/ Logos in his glorified form than many weddings filled with pageantry and pomp and circumstance!

    I think the article explains the behaviors and beliefs of the Essenes quite well.. Did you read it?

    "We have been seeing why clues from the Dead Sea Scrolls throw radical new light on the miracles of the gospels and Acts. They were not miracles, but natural events. The gospel-writers themselves did not believe in them. They were deliberately presenting them as miracles for the sake of the simple faith of the "babes in Christ", while at the same time wording them in such a way that the learned members of their ascetic schools would discover the actual history of Jesus and the foundations of Christianity."

    And the Essenes had certain customs and habits that would make them susceptible to belief in some sort of Virgin Birth Myth.


    Here is Rabbi Yeshua - Jesus speaking to an Essene family as shown to a near death experiencer.

    Well said......
    which tends to verify the theory of some Gospels being edited or added to by the second or third century doesn't it?
