Yes the red X about half way down the right hand side of the image. The elevation circle is the highest peak of Moriah and I think the Garden tomb itself as well as the "Skull" escarpment and the crucifixion site is all right there in that circle or very nearly so. By the way, there is a typo...

It turns out that I was looking at the map you posted incorrectly. The topology isn't depicted as well as it could be on that map. The red X marks the spot on the map below. After looking at it on Google Earth, it seems at this scale, the Garden Tomb and the crucifixion cite are all right there...

Three things.... First, the claim that "Bo" (enter) suggests God was already in Pharaoh’s palace is purely speculative. Hebrew verbs often carry nuanced meanings, and "Bo" may simply emphasize a direct encounter rather than implying God's physical presence in the palace. Second, the...

It is VERY likely that the phrase "mother of God" is packed with meaning that you have not properly articulated. I know I wouldn't answer that question as asked. As asked, it implies that Mary pre-existed God. That's obvious stupidity. Mary is a member of God's creation and could not be the...

In what way would it make God know less than us? That's a real question! I'm not trying to play games or make some sort of rhetorical point. I really want to know what about the idea that God doesn't know our future choices has lead you to think that God somehow knows less than we do. Can you...

Is there any more to that topographical map? The highest peak of Mount Moriah is just off the top of the map you've posted (I think it is, anyway) and it wouldn't surprise me a bit if Christ's cross was planted in that exact spot.

Then say that. It isn't a matter of opinion just because you can't say definitively. I understand that the term gets used in such circumstances and that's fine in casual conversation, but in actual fact, you cannot be wrong about an actual opinion because matters of opinion are subjective, by...

Yes! It is definitely her egg. This is why Luke's genealogy is of Mary's bloodline. Luke's gospel has Jesus' humanity as a theme that runs through it. Where as Matthew, with it's royal theme, gives Jesus' bloodline through Joseph. In Jewish law and custom, legal inheritance could pass through...

It really doesn't seem to be that complicated. God became a human being and remains one to this day and forever more. Amazing, even awe inspiring, to say the least, but still a pretty straight forward concept.

"You're a terribly black kettle!", said the pitch black pot!

Which conclusion are you referring to? Agreed. And Eve came from Adam. I really do recommend that you attempt to never use that phrase "to me" when discussing things that are not matters of opinion. When you're among like minded people, there's no real harm done, but the implication is not...

Jesus does teach it and no, it does not square with saved by faith alone because that isn't what saved people prior to the risen Christ giving the gospel of Grace to the Apostle Paul. Jesus and the twelve and their converts (e.g. Luke, James, Jude, etc) taught a gospel that required faith mixed...

Completely baffling. Human beings can be convinced to believe ANYTHING!

They most certainly do IMPLY ignorance. I've already stated that they do not prove it but there can be no denying that there is at least the implication. Yeah, same point. Same response that I had already stated when I gave the list. Then where's the need for the nick picking? You need to...

Wow! The lengths some people are willing to go to preserve a totally unnecessary doctrine that doesn't add a single ounce of benefit to their lives whatsoever.

It is one of only a very few ways that a false doctrine can be "supported" by scripture. If all you did was avoid this one thing and refuse to have special definitions for otherwise common words, there'd be no way to support most of the doctrines that Open Theists reject. Just about the only...

This is a lie. You never met a lady doctor who told you this. You are a liar. Yes. No. At least not DNA that is missing the Y chromosome. Even that is assuming that the Y chromosome is the only genetic difference between male and female DNA, which is not the case.

No, not in the sense of Him having created the universe. Mary had an egg which God fertilized by some means which is not explained to us aside from it being miraculous (i.e. supernatural). The fetus certainly was not "created" (i.e. ex nihilo) though or else it wouldn't have been a human fetus...

So what are you suggesting? That the bible is contradictory? I'm telling you. This is blasphemous heresy that can only possibly lead to your ruin. The bible DOES NOT teach in Matthew 1, Luke 1 or anywhere else that Jesus was created - period. You clearly don't even know what it means for God...

Yes! I do! Here's what you need to do.... Drop this entire line of inquiry because it is blasphemous heresy without even the potential for any spiritual enrichment or practical benefit.
