If not, if God impregnated poor Mary without her consent, does this mean that God raped Mary?

Yes she did.
"I am the Lord's servant," Mary answered. "May it be to me as you have said." Then the angel left her.
(Luke 1:38)
I guess that's clear enough, huh?

Mary was a faithful believer in God and would be honoured to mother the Christ Child. You question is quite rude and totally lacks respect for God. You think like a very worldly person who has no concept of spiritual things. If you don't understand at least be respectful, it really demonstrates just how ignorant you are.

Please read Luke 1. If you are truly seeking for the answer, look it up.
Remember, the angel Gabriel went to Mary and told her if she would carry out God's plan. Mary said, Okay, she would be an obedient servant.
Read the Bible instead of asking others.

Luke 1:38
And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
That sounds like consent to me...Jim

Did God need your permission to create you? BTW: You may get labelled 'IDIOT' each time you ask a question to which you could have retrieved an answer from the very PC through which you asked the question.
Whitna, are you serious???? Somebody help her!

And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
27 to a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. Mt. 1.18
28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favored, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favor with God.
31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. Mt. 1.21
32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
33 and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. Is. 9.7
34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
36 And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.
37 For with God nothing shall be impossible. Gen. 18.14
38 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.

She was chosen and given favor by god. She worshipped God and gladly accepted her fulfillment of prophecy of the messiah. So no she was not raped as this was a supernatural event and one of a kind. To compare it to rape is to blaspheme the holy ghost. You should actually try to read the bible before you ask this type of question.

Good point, but no. According to the book, God is above anything, including rape. Even priests that fondle little boys are his direct servants, and 10,000 pedophile priests can't all be wrong.
Wow, a lot of so called Christians in here name calling. Way to represent your gang there people. I'm glad to see your religious teachings are working so well for your anger and tolerance. I prefer to be a nice person, so I think I'll stay home on Sundays.

yes she had to go along and agree with Gods will inorder for it to work. This is why God cannot help people who do not get into his word. You must get into agreement with God inorder to see your life improve. God wants what is best for us let him do his work.
