Not surprised in the least.
Problematic? Sure. Ignorance and delusion is always problematic.

Thanks for that information. I am very pleased to see that the USA continues to take the Bible as literal truth, because it is literal truth.
The Bible does not say the virgin birth is allegory. This makes my day. I thought we were falling away from the truth and we are standing up for it. One of the fundamentals of calling yourself Christian is to believe in the virgin birth of Jesus Christ.
This is a STRONG America and this is not a problem. This is a great benefit. IN GOD WE TRUST. With 75% of Americans believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, God will continue to bless this nation.
What wonderful news!!!

The Bible never presents it as being anything but a literally true event.

Wow....that does explain quite a bit. Odd...I thought I heard something about the term "virgin" being a mistranslation of the word for "young woman"....maybe I was mistaken...

I subscribe to old Georgie's e-letter and just read that before coming here. Talk about conflicted, no?
