Post your answers to the following questions here:
1. Discuss the options listed for the reason for the virgin birth. Which one do you agree with most?
2. Why do you think that the Scriptures do not explicitly say why Christ was born of a virgin?
3. Liberal Christians have traditionally rejected the notion of a virgin birth. Conservatives have made it a test of orthodoxy. How would you explain the veracity and necessity of the virgin birth to someone who rejects it saying that it is unnecessary and impossible?
4. Do you believe that Christ ontologically divested Himself of His deity? Is this possible? Why or why not?
5. Do you believe that Christ, in the kenosis (emptying), 1) chose not to utilize His divine attributes or 2) that He did not have access to them any longer? How does this help you to understand that Christ, as the second Adam, truly represented us, living the life that we could not live?
6. Do you believe that Christ could have sinned? Explain.
7. How was your thinking challenged the most by this lesson? Explain.
