      What The New Testament Doesn’t Say

      May 20, 2019

      When professing Christians deny Biblical creation, we often point them to the Words of Jesus and the New Testament authors, which clearly affirm their own belief in Biblical creation. Because Christians are, by definition, people who believe what Jes

      Oct 21, 2019

      Most of us would recognise that the last words of a great and godly man or woman before their death would likely be words of great value. Words to consider and ponder. Jesus’ seven statements from the Cross are of that category and are thus recorded

      WHERE WAS JESUS BETWEEN HIS DEATH & RESURRECTION?

      Mar 10, 2023

      After Jesus said, “It is finished,” on the Cross, “he bowed his head and gave up his spirit” (John 19:30). His dead body remained on the Cross until it was taken down and placed in a nearby tomb (John 19:40–42). His spirit, however, was elsewhere. Th

      THE CHRISTIAN TRADITION

      Table of Contents

      I will therefore, without any further preface, plunge into the middle of the subject, and ask you, first of all, to consider afresh that 'throughout the Church the statement of the belief in the Virgin-Birth had its place from so early a date, and is traceable along so many different lines of evidence, as to force upon us the conclusion that, before the death of the last Apostle, the Virgin-Birth must have been among the rudiments of the Faith in which every Christian was initiated;' that if we believe the Divine guidance in the Church at all, we must needs believe that this mystery was part of the Faith once for all delivered to the Saints.

      Bear with me, then, while I go over the evidence of the leading witnesses.

      1. St. Ignatius.

      He must have become Bishop of Antioch quite early in the second century. As he passes through Asia about the year 110, he is on his way to martyrdom, and in his Epistles he speaks emphatically of the Virgin-Birth.

      In the Epistle to the Ephesians, he says: Hidden from the prince of this world were the Virginity of Mary and her child-bearing, and likewise also the death of our Lord—three mysteries of open proclamation, the which were wrought in the silence of God.*

      —* Eph., 19. Kai elathen ton archonta tou aionos toutou he parthenia Marias kai ho toketos autês, homiôs kai ho thanatos tou Kuriou; tria mustêria kraugês, hatina en hêsuchia theou eprachthê.—

      In the Epistle to the Symrnaeans, he says: I give glory to Jesus Christ, the God who bestowed such wisdom upon you; for I have perceived that ye are established in faith immovable … firmly persuaded as touching our Lord, that He is truly of the race of David according to the flesh, but Son of God by the Divine will and power, truly born of a Virgin, and baptized by John … truly nailed up for our sakes in the flesh, under Pontius Pilate and Herod the tetrarch.+

      —+ Smyrn., I. "Doxazô Iêsoun Christon ton theon ton houtôs humas sophisanta; enoêsa gar humas katêrtismenous
