DAVEH:  Sorry 'bout that Lance.   It didn't seem to me like you were really asking a question as much as making a point with an exclamatory question.      Furthermore, I'm not sure I can accurately/easily answer your question.  Technically, as I understand it, the answer to your question is no.  But in a general sense, I think the answer you are requesting is yes. Lance Muir wrote: I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM DAVID MILLER ON THIS ONE. I believe that I understand why Dave (I'm dropping the 'H' as I'm capable of distinguishing between Dave and David) would NOT consider this blasphemous. Procreation vis a vis all 'gods' is, I believe, central to your teaching is it not?   The one act of procreation by God, as I understand it, is that of a supernatural conception attested to in Scripture. Were Jesus, as a man, to have done so it would have fallen into a catetgory other than this. DAVEH:  If that were true, then when God commanded Adam and Eve to populate the world, would the Lord have been commanding A&E to sin?     ----- Original Message ----- From: Dave Hansen To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: January 21, 2005 01:16 Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Jonathan's Book Review (Discussion) DAVEH:   I'm not sure I should step forward on this, Lance, as I do not know of any specific proof one way or the other.   So....FTR, I don't have a strong opinion one way or the other.  However, I do not believe such would be blasphemous, as was suggested below.  I am curious though....Why would Christians consider it blasphemous for Jesus to have been married and had children?
