If Yeshua’s Mother Was Not a Virgin, Would You Still Believe He Is God?: The Implications of Women’s Sexuality for the Christian Religion.

allthinxchristian

What does it matter to Yeshua's claims to divinity that his mother was a pregnant virgin? What would it have mattered if he'd been birthed by a non-virgin woman?

allthinxchristian

Oghene'tega Swann

"In the United States, black and brown people are not and will never be "equal" until America deals openly with it's ugly past and most importantly,  until white America accepts their part in this history: the truths that are left out of our school books, in internet searches, etc.." -Zanetta Holley
