Would a lead shield have protected the virgin Mary from becoming preggers by God?

Question

Would anything be able to stop God from impregnating very young virgins whenever the whim took him?

Maybe education might have been better protection do you think, such a young girl did someone totally brainwash her and take advantage of her naievity

Answer 1

Virgin Birth = commonly-used religious metaphor to represent the enlightenment experience. It was used metaphorically to represent both Jesus' and the Buddha's enlightenment. It has absolutely nothing to do with a literal virgin birth.

Answer 2

You seem to be missing the whole point of the virgin birth. Why did Jesus have to beborn of a virgin
First, is so that the prophecy would be fulfilled that claimed He would be born of a virgin --- see Matt. 1:22-23. Second, it is generally understood that this was a way that God chose to bypass the assumption of the sinful nature that is passed down from Adam --- "...for through one man sin entered into the world..." Rom. 5:12. Hope this helps. timothy
. I would advocate that God's plan as to how the baby would be born came prior to the prophecy -- not the other way around. Of course, the Son of God would need to have God as a parent in order to be God (maintain his God-hood as a person) genetically. However, I don't see that a faithful and consistent wife or a widow would contribute any more "sinful" of a nature than a virgin. (In fact, this concept in an extreme form could lead to wives witholding relations in a way that could hinder the marriage relationship.) There is a connection of virginity with ceremonial purity, however, that could be significant. In addition, female virginity is typically verifiable by physical means for the majority of women. In this way, Mary's virginity right up to the point of birth would most likely have been verifiable by Joseph, a midwife or anyone else who was allowed to investigate fully; her virginity would act as a testimony, therefore, that the "male seed" was placed there by the Holy Spirit rather than through sexual intercourse. With a non-virgin, there would always be more room for question and accusation.
I'd like to add that the blood of the mother never enters the blood stream of the fetus, but is imparted through the sperm of the father. Since "the life of the flesh is in the blood," as in Leviticus 17:11, the sinlessness of Christ was maintained by no human man having a part in the conception. The true Father was God through the Holy Spirit. Thus there was a sinless nature passed on to the Christ. The virgin birth was necessary to this fact.
I would like to add a comment here as well. There are many fullfilments of scripture that are, may I say minor fulfillments of the law, they fulfill the law but not fully. One of these is the firstborn being wholly set apart to the Lord. In the KJV EXO 13:2 Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast: it is mine. This is fulfilled in part, because the firstborn in sanctified, but in Jesus it is completely fulfilled, because since His mother was a virgin, he literally opened the womb. No other first-born really opens the womb, Jesus did. The word for openeth here is derived from the root which means to burst forth

Answer 3

God wasn't a pedophile. He chose Mary to be the mother of his Son and sent His only Son to us because He loved us, not to get a cheap thrill. A lead shield only works against kryponite, so go back to your Superman comic book.

Answer 4

Sure. Maybe it will protect from the flames in hell too. Try it!!!
(Oh, and P.S. God doesn't just impregnate virgins whenever he gets the "whim". It happened once, and that was to create our Saviour. Then One who died on the cross to save you and me. I would be grateful that He did what He did.)

Answer 5

God did not impregnate Mary sexually. The Holy Spirit of God overshadow/implanted the seed at Mary`s womb for human development...thus Jesus was born.
Jesus is different from human race because His spirit is fully of God, but human flesh; He was not conceived sexually by 2 mortals, thus free from adam & eve race of bearing the "original sin".
Original sin of human race came from Adam & Eve disobedience to God by eating a fruit of knowledge, sex and reproductions of human race.

Answer 6

I don't think lead would have helped.

But...

if she had said no, I think that would have done it.

I don't think she was brainwashed. Perhaps you have God confused with some other authority figure.

If God is real, and God is good, we should be able to trust his plans and methods.

I don't think you have anything from history to suggest that Mary was unhappy to be chosen...but you might have a case when talking about Joseph.

Answer 7

[19:35] It does not befit GOD that He begets a son, be He glorified. To have anything done, He simply says to it, "Be," and it is.

How many of you believe that Mary is the mother of God?

ANSWER

NOT the true believers. True believers including all the 1.6 Billions Muslim present on the phase of the planet and all the creatures of the ONLY ONE GOD. Mary (peace be upon her PBUH) is the mother of prophet Jesus (peace be upon him).

This is the how GOD describes HIMSELF in HOLY QURAN chapter 112.

[112:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

[112:1] Proclaim, "He is the One and only GOD.

[112:2] "The Absolute GOD.

[112:3] "Never did He beget. Nor was He begotten.

[112:4] "None equals Him."

NO ONE can challenge this. Except ISLAM, all other religions on the phase of this planet including their so called human gods cannot fit in this category.

Answer 8

No, it was the Spirit of God that she was impregnated by, not Superman, dumbass. Why don't you turn off the computer now, and go back to watching cartoons?

Answer 9

Nothing can prevent God from doing anything.

Answer 10

Does this question merit an intelligent answer? I think not. Thanx for the points.
