I would think that since most people believe that God does not exist in an earthly body, that there was no actual intercourse, so I don't think that it can count as rape.
I actually think that Mary was unfaithful to Joseph and created an elablorate ploy to save herself shame and disgrace.

Seeing as it wasn't a sexual act, it couldn't possibly be rape. And she consented to carry the baby.
Luke 1:38 "Then Mary said: “Look! Jehovah’s slave girl! May it take place with me according to your declaration.” At that the angel departed from her."

When God's Spirit is near, I feel so peaceful. You have to know that in order to see that Mary couldn't have been raped. The idea is ludicrous. So I suppose that you never really felt His power before, hence the question.
I hope that you do someday. It's just amazingly safe and peaceful to have God be with you. His Spirit is good, He doesn't harm, He takes away all conflict. Those that have never flet that way, I hope they too can know it.

She gave her consent.
Luke 1:38 Then Mary said, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.
Quantrill, you know God is a gentleman! He's never forced Himself upon anyone!

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.
Do you really think God has to answer to anyone?

i extremely do not comprehend why this question is persistently requested, yet right here is going. even as Mary grow to be instructed through the Angel Gabriel what grow to be about to ensue, this grow to be her reaction... (Luke a million:38) Then Mary said: “look! Jehovah’s slave female! might want to it ensue with me in accordance for your announcement.” At that the angel departed from her. That said, there grow to be NO sex in contact, reminiscent of there grow to be none even as he created Jesus as a helpful spirit creature first of all with.

Don't tempt me to post scripture in here. He had Mary's consent.
