They made that part up later. Did you hear the Catholic Church said heh we aren't so sure about that virgin birth thing?

How is a virgin birth more amazing than creating a living breathing spirit out of dust ? Once you reach the highest point --all others are below ---not the other way around ....The bible is a reverse engineering of the truth----Its not the truth --JUST A COPY....Pauls just another edition??

Since they did not make up that part, and we can tell from early Church fathers that the virgin birth was taught early on, I think it would be fair to say that Paul did now about it. In fact, many of the early critics of the faith challenged Jesus "peculiar" birth.

Paul was taught privately by Jesus, after Jesus' resurrection. If you want to read what Paul wrote, I suggest you read the Bible. 14 of the 21 Epistles or letters are credited to Paul, although there is a question as to how much he actually wrote.

You really need to read more.
Evidently, quite a few people knew about the virgin birth back then...
Or didn't you know that Christianity existed BEFORE the Catholic church??

I am sure he knew much more after Jesus came to him and he spent time in the desert learning from God. he already knew the old scriptures well as he had been a pharasie.

Hello Sho-Nuff.. :)
When Paul was called Saul..He hated the Christians, he was on his way to Damascus when the Lord appeared to Saul..suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: and he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do..
The virgin birth was a "known fact" among believers as well as non-believers..
In Jesus Most Precious Name..
With Love..In Christ.. :)

Christ appeared to over 500 witnesses before His ascension and following His crucifixion. He also appeared to Paul. So there is nothing here that is a "claim" or made up.

He knew a lot about Jesus. It was not his job to report everything. Like it was not Jesus' job to heal everybody. And He did not like to perform miracles on non-believers.: )

Considering He never walked with Jesus,,I assume He had to be told this stuff but by who you ask but by Jesus Himself...
