While I appreciate the copy editing and amelioration of wording whenever possible, I took exception to [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Virgin_birth&action=historysubmit&diff=836177&oldid=721371 this edit] because it clearly adds doubt where there isn't any. Does that make sense? While I realize that we do "believe" this occurred, it is more than simply a "belief" and "we believe it so therefore it's true." Seeing as it's documented in the Bible, I don't see a reason to introduce extraneous doubt that in turn casts doubt on the authenticity of the Bible. Let me know if that all makes sense. Thanks!

:::Hi, Tyler. If it indeed is a matter of casting doubt on the Bible, I'll admit to having been overly (and wrongly) concerned about using neutral wording. But that only applies to the Virgin Birth being undeniably supported by the Bible. So we agree there.
:::You also changed other edits which dealt with doctrinal matters that are not clearly and unquestionably settled by recourse to Bible wording. On them, I feel that presenting both sides is clearly desirable...or at least let's agree that we can't justify describing the belief in the way that only one side prefers.
:::In that category are 1) Catholics worship Mary. Despite tbe Catholic denial, the Protestant cannot be treated as flatly wrong. It's still a matter of dispute. It depends on how one defines "worship," and I was fair to both sides there. And 2) when the line says that mainline Protestant denominations believe or don't believe X, we'd better be sure that every last mainline Protestant denomination actually does take the position described. That was not the case as the text stood before I edited it. Thnx. --[[User:Wycliffe|Wycliffe]] 13:24, 31 December 2010 (EST)
