Religion > Protestantism

The Gospel is an explanation of who Jesus is, and what Jesus did for his people over two thousand years ago. The Gospel converts the elect; it pronounces the elect, who are unrighteous in themselves, to be righteous. The Bible says the Gospel “is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth” (Romans 1:16). The elect are brought to faith by understanding and believing the Gospel, which is found throughout the Bible. The Bible says, “And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus” (2 Timothy 3:15).

Is there really a Virgin Birth narrative in the earliest New Testament manuscripts, or has the nativity story of Jesus been misinterpreted? Was Mary, the mother of Jesus, really "impregnated" with child? Or was she, rather, "found" with child? Was Mary really shocked that she was going to get pregnant? Or was she, rather, shocked that her son was expected to become the one who would fulfill the Jewish messianic mission and reign "for ever"? Join DS Waggoner on a journey back in time to discover unknown facts about earliest New Testament manuscripts, as they were presented to her by an elderly Jewish man in a library.
