Was she really a virgin? Why do they call her Virgin Mary? I don't believe that God just said "poof, your pregnant!" She had intercourse to have her baby Jesus.

Someone asked this around 20 minutes ago.
According to the original Hebrew text she was not a virgin - merely a young maiden. The word "virgin" is a mistranslation.

That's a question that many Christians struggle with. I'm Catholic and though it is believed that basically it was as you said, God said poof and she was pregnant" i struggled for many years with the Idea. First, Mary had to say yest to God's request. After many years of prayer I believe that it happened exactly, that way. That is what we call a dogma of faith. There are many Christian denominations who do not believe that Mary was a virgin.

503 Mary's virginity manifests God's absolute initiative in the Incarnation. Jesus has only God as Father. "He was never estranged from the Father because of the human nature which he assumed. . . He is naturally Son of the Father as to his divinity and naturally son of his mother as to his humanity, but properly Son of the Father in both natures."

504 Jesus is conceived by the Holy Spirit in the Virgin Mary's womb because he is the New Adam, who inaugurates the new creation: "The first man was from the earth, a man of dust; the second man is from heaven." < 1 Cor 15:45, 47> From his conception, Christ's humanity is filled with the Holy Spirit, for God "gives him the Spirit without measure."
505 By his virginal conception, Jesus, the New Adam, ushers in the new birth of children adopted in the Holy Spirit through faith. "How can this be?"
506 Mary is a virgin because her virginity is the sign of her faith "unadulterated by any doubt", and of her undivided gift of herself to God's will.
She was a virgin conceived supernaturally. It doesn't matter what you believe. You not believing doesn't mean it wasn't true. God can do anything He wants.

Save yourself some mental gymnastics and time and read the account of her conception in the Bible. God will tell you Himself what happened and you won't need to take your question further.

SHE WAS A VIRGIN BECAUSE SHE WASNT TOUCHED BY ANY MAN. SHE CONCIEVED HER CHILD THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT.
