But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. II Peter 2:1
On August 28, 1950, the Modern Churchmen's Union challenged the assertion of Archbishop of Canterbury Geoffrey Fisher that the virgin birth of Jesus Christ was "a fact of history." The Modern Churchmen's Union, founded in 1898 as the Churchmen's Union for the Advancement of Liberal Religious Thought, is now known as Modern Church, denying every scriptural truth and supporting every worthless, anti-Christian cause you can imagine. This organization and everyone in it should have been given the left boot of disfellowship from the beginning.
It comes as no surprise to this blogger that the Modern Churchmen's Union, as it was then known, denied the virgin birth of the Lord Jesus Christ, but it is surprising that as late as 1950 there was an Archbishop of Canterbury who believed the biblical account.
The virgin birth of the Lord Jesus Christ is an essential Christian doctrine. I haven't the inclination to go into detail on the subject; I recommend Seven Reasons Why I Believe in the Virgin Birth of Christ by Ian Paisley, available for free download.
Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. Isaiah 7:14
Daily Luther Sermon Quote - Lent 5 - "Just then Moses came and brought them
God’s Word that comforted them in the midst of death and preserved them
alive, when he said in verse 13: “Fear not, stand still, and see the
salvation of Jehovah, which he will work for you today: for the Egyptians
whom ye have seen today, ye shall see them again no more for ever.” They
clung to this Word and held out until victory came; through it life
appeared in the presence of death, because they believed the Word, that it
would come to pass, and relying upon it they marched into the midst of the
Red Sea, which stood on both sides of them like two walls."
