If god could make a man out of clay why did he have to impregnate an innocent woman to create a Messiah?

Answer 1

I think Mary was creepin' . . .

Answer 2

Impregnate implies that He had intercourse with her. He didn't. I am not a Christian, nor do I believe that Jesus was a son of God or anything like that. I believe that he was a Prophet of God, and his miraculous birth was just that: a miracle. Every prophet had miracles, and Jesus's birth was his first. If God could create a man out clay, then why is it so hard to imagine Him creating a man inside a woman's womb without that woman ever being touched. In my book, Adam's creation was far superior to Jesus's. At least Jesus was created inside a woman's womb and developed like any other fetus would. Adam was created into an adult man immediately. The miraculous birth of Jesus, in my opinion, is not what is disputable. Rather, it is the status such miraculous birth confers on him that is. Best of wishes to you in your search.

Answer 3

mary was certainly innocent
if you read the Holy Bible you will find that it was Mary's choice and not forced upon her: "And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; BE IT UNTO ME(emphasis added) according to thy word. And the angel departed from her."
I mention this because your question implies a lack of agency(choice) on Mary's part.
Jesus had to be born of Mary to be able to come to the Earth and have a body like ours and be able to experience for himself all the pain and misery offered by mortality(life), including death. He had to be sired by God the Father in order to fulfill his mission of atoning for the sins, pain and suffering of everyone who would repent and keep his commandments. Also, to have the power to be resurrected from the dead so everyone could be resurrected and be judged of God in the flesh at the last day according to the works they had done in the flesh.
Mary's mission to be the mother of the Son of God was the envy of many generations of the women of the the Tribe of Judah (aka the Jews) Most of those woman had hoped they would be the fulfillment of countless prophesies about our Savior, Jesus Christ being born of a virgin.
Mary must have been living a very upstanding life to have even been considered the honor of bearing the son of God into the world and raising him.
Also, the Messiah was Jehovah of the Old Testament and therefore wasn't created, he, just as we, have always existed.
I'm also sure if God wanted to he could have taken clay and made the Savior from that but that would have made God a liar because of the prophecies in the Old Testament he gave His Prophets. Every word that proceeds forth from the mouth of God will be fulfilled.
feel free to write if you have anything to ask me.

Answer 4

The Answer is simple.
1. GOD create angels and look what happened. 1/3 of them falled ( who cares about reason). GOD create each angel different and one by one him self.
Than GOD creates Adam and Eve ( him self) and they screw GOD again.
Than GOD saves Lot and his 2 daughters and the first thing they did .... they screwed thier own father.
So god got tired of his own mistakes and realise that without human females he can't do a good job.
SO he had to inpregnate mary without even asking her ( so much for free will) to get finaly one pure result.
This shows That GOD is not as pwoerfull as we think or at least not a good designer him self.
Only trough human female can be created a good thing.

Therefore GOD needs a female to show him the right path for creation.

Answer 5

Okay, I'm an atheist, but I'll give it a shot -

He wanted his Son / the Messiah to be accepted by others as 'human', so that they wouldn't just go and lynch him (as people do when confronted with something new).

Alternately, it could be because Jesus was truly the result of Joseph's sperm fertilising Mary's egg... But that's just the opinion of four billion people on the planet. We mustn't worry too much about it...

Answer 6

Because of the curse on mankind in the Garden of Eden. Christ had to come to the earth in human form, and the only way he could do that was to be born of woman. Jesus had both spiritual and mortal properties, otherwise he couldn't have felt the torture and suffering, or died on the cross

Answer 7

all part of his divine plan...if the Messiah came from clay, and not from His Divinity, ppl would still be in the lurch looking for their savior...because Christ came from the Trinity, he holds more clout...he is considered the second Adam to redeem the ppl of their sins and shortcomings..unlike Adam that brought us into the world of suffering and sin from the Garden of Eden melodrama..it also was or is God's way of saying that nothing is impossible to him! imagine getting pregnant without another person! how improbable is that? so it was his way of bringing a lot of attention to this special creation, Christ!

Answer 8

A. There were already humans on the earth to bear children.
B. Mary was a pure vessel worthy to carry the messiah.
C. Mary was foreordained in the preexistence for this mission.
D. This wasn't a vile act it was necessary so that Christ could inherit godliness from his father and humanness from his mother so he could fulfill his plan of resurrection from the dead and overcome death and sin, so that we could return back to the presence of our father and inherit immortal and eternal lives.

Answer 9

because the entire point of Jesus was to show that he was human. if he made him out of clay and dirt, then nobody would have believed that. also if he could make man out of clay, why did he have to make women out of an innocent man's rib?

Answer 10

When the bible speaks of man being made out of clay, it is a parable. it means that man came from the earth. He had Jesus come out of Mary because she was hot.

Answer 11

Jesus was already here before God put Him here in the flesh. Therefore, Jesus was not created through Mary. He just came here in the flesh through Mary. And it is God and not god. God can do anything. Are you really interested in this?
