The Virgin Birth: Essential or Optional? (44 min)

The Virgin Birth: Essential or Optional? (44 min)

Jim Flanigan (1931-2014) preaches a comprehensive and clear message on the fundamental truth of the virgin birth of Christ. In the mid-1980’s, a leading Bishop in the Church of England became well known for his denial of both the virgin birth and the resurrection of Christ. In response Mr Flanigan took up this topic at a large meeting in Ballymena, Northern Ireland, on 2nd Feb 1985. He asked 4 questions. 1. What is the virgin birth? 2. Why do we believe it? 3. Why do some deny it? 4. What are the implications if the virgin birth didn’t happen? Many years later, Mr Flanigan’s message remains a notable exposition of fundamental truth, well worth listening to. Reading: Matt 1:18-25. (Photo: Bethlehem city)
