BTW you can both stop writing eyewitness in bold. I've already answered and you're not going to get a different answer simply by repeating yourselves.

What exactly did you answer? My question was quite simple, is there an eyewitness account of the virgin birth? Yes or No? dad claimed there was, I am saying there is not.

We also have pretty solid historical accounts that Joseph Smith was a real person and led the Mormon people across the mid-West of the US. Does this make the Golden Tablets and the claims made by Joseph Smith true?

I don't know. Mormon's claim to be Christians. How does this forum look at Mormon's? I would want to get into any trouble by saying that they aren't Christians. Wouldn't the evidence for Joseph Smith be more recent and more reliable than the evidence from the Gospels? I don't think the Book of Mormon has the problem of differing accounts.

Once again, the Bible provides the answer.

John the Baptist was the last of the prophets ...

Matthew 11:13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.

No more prophets.

I was hoping that some of the serious Christians would have answered that question.

Okay, so I beat them to it? someone had to go first, eh?

I think his point was that you screwed up the timing -- serious discussions are supposed to happen before the comic relief.
