If someone was artificially inseminated but never had intercourse and became pregnant is that a virgin birth?

Question

cool answers thanks!

Answer 1

virgin birth = common religious metaphor that symbolized the awakening of consciousness (enlightenment). It has nothing to do with a real virgin birth and nothing to do with mary or mothers in general. Jesus and the Buddha's enlightenment were both metaphorically described as their having a 'virgin birth'.

Answer 2

Virgin births are not uncommon. Of course, they usually involve some sort of sexual contact, but not full penetration.

The most amazing story (which admittedly may be urban myth, but it was reported as part of a documentary on a Radio channel I think is reasonably reliable) is the story of a soldier in the early 20C who was shot and wounded in the groin. The same bullet also hit a young unmarried woman nearby. During her recovery she was later found to be pregnant, though she had never had intercourse, and the corresponding injury to the young man, who lost a testicle in the incident, was assumed to have been the cause. Apparently they married. What became of them and their family wasn't part of the story.

Not really answering your question but worth repeating.

Answer 3

You are correct, but i think what you are asking is really refering to the prophecy of the Messiah given by Elijah to israel. WHen reading this text you simply must know that the true translation doesnt say "virgin" but rather "young woman" and in this specfic case Elijah's wife who he had impregnated. This prophecy also did not refer to a messiah as so just a time line. Though we could easily also take this as a messianc prophecy because most herbrew prophecys have a dualisitc atitute where they deal with the presence and the future.

Answer 4

Yep.

It could happen just through "heavy petting"... so long as the bodily fluids get in the right area, it's a possibility. Artificial insemination would certainly make a pregnancy more likely, though.

Answer 5

The spiritual definition of "virgin" would be that they were never "touched" by man,even though she may have never had sex she is a virgin on the physical level,but man was involved in the process in other ways,i.e. the donor, the doctors,etc. somewhere. Now if you trying to draw a parallel to the birth of Christ...his birth was simply a command from The Most High...that it was uttered "Be" and he became.

Answer 6

Yes and no. One definition of virgin is an intact hymen. The insemination tube would break the hymen. The more common definition is no acts of intercourse.

Answer 7

what do vaginas have to do with spiritual birth? Nothing.
we are not reborn from vaginas we are reborn form our Hearts. No one then was dumb enough to think otherwise, They knew that they were talking about spiritual things not literal. Its only now that the old message is getting old and no longer touch the human heart. Its now when we need a new one that does reach the heart. this is when people cling to fundemental interpretaions out of fear. Like the pharisees. Or Jimmy Swaggart.

Answer 8

in case you had unprotected intercourse only 4 weeks after the delivery, she would desire to all right be preggo. of direction you will would desire to attend some weeks formerly she will attempt to confirm for effective. females are maximum fertile after giving delivery and as much as the 1st year after giving delivery. I desire ya'll the two the better of success and congrats on the recent addition.

Answer 9

Virginity is determined by sexual intercourse.If someone never had a sexual intercourse,then no matter what,that person is still a virgin,So,yes.

Answer 10

well not after the birth, anyway.
