A very good article worth reading as we think about Christ's birth this Christmas day.
Here are a couple of interesting quotes ...
Interesting Quote 1 from this article ... "Arafat ( head of the P LO) reached for his Quran to show me something he thought would impress me. Pointing to a certain passage (as if I could read Arabic), he said,
“Did you know that the only woman mentioned in the Quran is the Virgin Mary?”
“Well, how interesting, Rais [Arabic for president],” I replied,
“it sounds as if the Quran is proving that Jesus had no earthly father and therefore must be the Son of God.”
Do you believe that Jesus of Nazareth was born of a virgin and had no earthly father? Muslims do. In fact, one of the most successful evangelistic approaches when talking to Muslims is to focus on the virgin birth of Jesus".
Interesting Quote 2 ... "If God had made Jesus a complete human being in heaven and then sent Him to earth without any human parent, it would have been impossible for Him to be human as we are.
If, on the other hand, God had brought Jesus into the world with two human parents, both a father and a mother,
it would have been impossible for Him to be fully God". Wow, SO TRUE.
