October 21 –– Born of a virgin Jeremiah 31:22; “How long wilt thou go about, O thou backsliding daughter? for the LORD hath created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall compass a man.”
Matthew 1:18-20; “Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. 19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily. 20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.”

Born of a virgin…virtually every Christian believes Jesus was born of a virgin. On the flip side of this is the Mormon who calls him, or herself, a Christian and publicly states Jesus was born of a virgin, alas, this is not their reality. The great majority of LDS members know and believe the true teachings of the Church in that God had sex with Mary to beget Jesus. Ask what they personally believe about this. When you discus this with the Mormon you know, keep in mind that many won’t know Brigham taught Adam is God. All this will give them something to think about in their alone time so be sure to pray for Jesus to open their eyes, and see how God fulfilled His prophecy! Also show from a map
