Wasn't the concept of the virgin birth voted on in the year 800 by the Catholic Church?

Question

I AM NOT SURE OF THE EXACT CENTURY THIS WAS DECIDED, BUT IT WAS SOMEWHERE AROUND THEN.

Answer 1

Cathholic scholars admit that the concept of the perpetual virginity of Mary came about only in the 3rd- 4th century after Christ's death. Some scholars trace this concept from pagan goddesses--Asthartes, Venus, etc.

Answer 2

I dont know if the "virgin birth" was decided then but other non-biblical things were. JC's divinity, perpetual virgin Mary yada yada yada. However, early church fathers do admit that the earliest Jewish followers of JC did not have a birth story in their version of Matthew (which is the only book they held as authoritative). Apparently, the birth story was added much later. Now go ahead people and give me all thumbs down but look it up, its historical fact.

Answer 3

Yes, right around that time there was a council to iron out Christianity. Some books were included with the bible and some books were excluded. Most Christians don't understand that the bible has changed significantly over time. There's no such thing as a 'first edition' bible.

Answer 4

That's correct (I;m not sure of the date either)

They also voted on if Jesus was God or just a good man.
They also vote on lots of things that are now seen as dogma, that didn't used to be.

Therfore the church is not a true representation of even the bible, just a force of corruption.

Answer 5

No, the Roman Catholic church was actually formed in 872 by Bishop Thomas who declared himself Pope and started a new religion.

Answer 6

Since it is already in the bible, I think it was written as chuch doctrine to help people understand it.

Mary did say, "how can this be for I have not yet known man" meaning she was a virgin.

Answer 7

No.
