The first deals with the dispersal of kingdoms. The verse of scripture you originally gave in disputing the prophecy of Christ's birth was not generic, it was specific.

Therefore, why do you now turn around and use that same verse and say it is really generic in nature?

You can't have it both ways.

Which leads me to your second point in which you are absolutely correct.

One has to have faith in the virgin birth. You apparently do not. I pray that one day your eyes will be opened. Nevertheless, you still cannot disprove recorded history which shows that during Jesus' 33 years on earth he fulfilled dozens, if not more than 100 prophecies made centuries before.

Read about the exact method of his crucifixion...and then study the prophecies which give right down to the detail that it would happen exactly that way. Anyone who truly seeks God can see the miracles as plain as day.

But...unless the Lord reveals these things to you, you can't see them.

Lots of doubting Thomases out there.

Now Thomas (called Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord!"

So the other disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord!" But he said to them, "Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe it."

A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you!" Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe."

Thomas said to him, "My Lord and my God!"

"Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."
