Answer 1

1) A liberal Protestant would find it unlikely, but view it as a matter of individual belief.
(They generally treat the virgin birth as non‑essential and open to personal/critical judgment.)

2) Augustine of Hippo.
(He developed just-war thinking that allows war only as a last resort to restore peace.)

(The 1662 Half‑Way Covenant helped widen church membership and set social/religious conditions that later fed the Great Awakening.)
