Also added the term “mythology” into tales of deities to distinguish it from New Testament, which claims to be an historical record and is upheld by many scholars as such. This cannot be said of mythologies. Eg Luke 1:1 Many people have set out to write accounts about the events that have been fulfilled among us.

- 11:5811:58, 25 December 2022 diff hist +498 Virgin birth of Jesus The text claimed the ancient world did not understand that semen and ovums were needed for pregnancy but this is hardly borne out by the facts of ancient animal husbandry or Old and New Testament scripture. I have included a counter narrative. Tags: Reverted Mobile edit Mobile web edit

It is simply not sustainable to make such a sweeping assertion. Otherwise he or she would need to explain why the majority of mainstream bible translations translate it as “virgin”. To sweep over this point as though it does not even exist would throw the entire credibility Wikipedia into question. Strongs concordance;- Hebrew: עלמה Transliteration: ‛almâh Pronunciation: al-...

Previous editor would need to specify which translation uses “woman” instead and then justify why they chose this translation over all others. Furthermore, the virgin birth, as we all know, is a key part of Christian theology and this is the sole Old Testament passage which Christian theology cites in relation to it.
