Priest talking about nativity story (1 of 2) like it's a historically highly probable event instead of staying in his lane and relating it to us as a theological story is like finger nails on the chalkboard. I have to remind myself of this in real time to maintain my attention to him.

@neanderthalsnavel Arent both petspectives relevant - the historical fact that Jesus, Son of God, became incarnate, born of a virgin,... And, what it means for Christ to be born in our hearts (the theological meditation of the feast)?

@HigherGround your very first assertions aren't historical. They are theological.

@neanderthalsnavel Agree to disagree. It's both - as I pointed out. A pastor may want to emphasize the historical truth for an audience that's like Joseph (skeptical) about a Virgin giving birth without knowing a man. The Incarnation is an event that happened in time. The date (Dec. 25th) as Jesus' official day of birth *may not be historically accurate,* but *the event* is. Hope we're on the same page?
