Has anyone ever REALLY thought about the birth of Christ to Mary?

Question

Christ was born to Mary because she was chosen by God to bear the Son of Man. Mary, however, was about 14 at the time, unmarried, and betrothed to a man who was NOT her baby's daddy. A little further back in Mary's family lineage is Rahab, who is, according to Joshua, a whore. David and Solomon were both polygamists. So, in other words, Jesus' family was pretty much the DEFINITION of dysfunction.

Christ's birth was more than miraculous. If the Jews had done what the Old Testament had told them to do in these situations, they would have stoned the pregnant Mary and killed Jesus in the womb.

When we think about Christ, we should think about what He overcame to get here instead of taking on HIS job of judging what we CLEARLY don't understand, don't you think?

Answer 1

Yes, many have really really thought about the birth of Christ to Mary. But you have also done a good job of it. Do not know where you stand, Catholic or Protestant, really does not matter, You might enjoy the Cure de Ares, He very much loved Mary . And Padre Pio. Then there are the Luthern nuns of . " The Sisterhood of Mary" In Germany, Israel, and USA + other places. They are current, google their name. Beautiful web site. You know I noticed, when the Angel came to Mary, She did not fall down as most of the men did. She just spoke to Him. Of course not all men fell down. Just some of them. also, a case here or there of sin, did not interfere with the bloodline god was building for his Son. The linage is there.

Answer 2

Lets get the facts straight according to what the Bible says. First, no where does it say Mary was in the lineage of Rahab. Which makes no difference anyway. IF your Great Grandfather was a horse thief, does that make you dysfunctional? Mary was 16 , not 14 according to the Roman census. Again, who cares. David and Solomon were polygamist as was tradition at the time. Again, if your great grandfather had 9 wives, would that make you any better or worse? Mary was engaged to Joseph when she became pregnant by the Holy Spirit, which at that time had the same religious "rules" as marriage. Joseph (after consulting with God) took Mary as his wife, even with child. At that point , all bets were off with regards to stoning her. Miraculous? By all means. But fulfillment of prophecy comes to mind also. One last thing. Jesus says several times that God would do the judging. Once he says he would judge according to his father ...God. And yes I do clearly understand his mission. He came and left without sin. But he took all our sins for eternity on his back as he was nailed to the cross. His misery was not so much physical(although it was horrific) but the weight of all sin of all people was on him. Can one even start to imagine? I cant.

Answer 3

God will under no circumstances allow a cheater convey Jesus up and He may also under no circumstances allow the mum of Jesus be the variety who cheats. This is in which the religion is available in completely, due to the fact additionally it is problematic for Christians to recognize the stainless notion. I am Christian, I have my individual recommendations approximately that, which don't seem to be because the bible teaches, but it surely nonetheless does not difference the affection I suppose for Jesus and I can forgive Mary and Joseph in the event that they felt like a few pre-marital romance among the sheets due to the fact I did it too and ninety% of the populace of all humanity did it. You must consider a bit of bit out of the field your self, no longer what you consider you could have heard another nerd say to you.

Answer 6

All your thoughts can be explained and have been if you ever cared to find the truth, here it is

[004:155] Because of their breaking the covenant, and of their rejecting the Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of God, and of their killing the Prophets unjustly, and of their saying: "Our hearts are wrapped (with coverings, i.e. we do not understand what the Messengers say)," – nay, God has set a seal upon their hearts because of their disbelief, so they believe not but a little.

[004:156] And because of their (Jews) disbelief and uttering against Maryam (Mary ['alayhas-salâm]) a grave false charge (that she has committed illegal sexual intercourse);

[004:157] And because of their saying (in boast), "We killed Messiah 'Îsâ (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), the Messenger of God," – but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but it appeared so to them [the resemblance of 'Îsâ (Jesus) was put over another man (and they killed that man)], and those who differ therein are full of doubts. They have no (certain) knowledge, they follow nothing but conjecture. For surely, they killed him not [i.e. 'Îsâ (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary) ['alayhis-salâm]]:

[004:158] But God raised him ['Îsâ (Jesus)] up (with his body and soul) to Himself (and he ['alayhis-salâm] is in the heavens). And God is Ever All-Powerful, All-Wise.

[004:159] And there is none of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) but must believe in him ['Îsâ (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), as only a Messenger of God and a human being] before his ['Îsâ (Jesus) ['alayhis-salâm] or a Jew's or a Christian's] death (at the time of the appearance of the angel of death). And on the Day of Resurrection, he ['Îsâ (Jesus)] will be a witness against them.

Answer 7

Sounds like the Miraculous Conception was a cover up for a rape or an affair!? And God, I'm talking to you now: Isn't 14 a little young?

Answer 8

Yeah, that makes sense. I don't really believe that the story is true though. Many scholars, including Christian scholars, state that the virgin birth is a mythology created to cover up the fact that Jesus was simply illegitimate, something that was totally unacceptable back then.
