In Chapter 5, the section entitled "The Virgin Birth “Prophecy”, the following paragraph contains an error. It is shown in
red.
Most Christians don't notice the Apostle Paul doesn't mention the virgin birth even in passing. Actually, Paul hardly
says anything about the actual life of Jesus although he does say that he was “made of a woman under the law” in
Galatians 4:4. The phrase, “under the law” seems to imply that his conception was within the norms of the Torah or, in
other words, an ordinary conception that was legal. If the idea of Jesus' virgin birth were the hinge pin of the Christian
faith, then it is strange that it isn't mentioned in Paul's writings. Never once is the connection made between his
miraculous conception and his supposed sinless nature. Only in the Epistle of Hebrews is the idea of Jesus' absence of
sin discussed and only briefly. Most scholars believe that Hebrews was not written by Paul. If that is true, then Paul
never mentions either the virgin birth or Jesus' lack of sin or sin nature.
This is the corrected paragragh.

even Paul directly relates Jesus' virgin birth to his lack of sin or sin nature.
A BOOK EVERY CHRISTIAN SHOULD HAVE READ BEFORE THEY BELIEVED IN JESUS
