Isn't it amazing that God needed a woman to make Jesus, but no man?

Question

Doesn't that put us women in a special condition? God needed a womb, but no sperm. Don't you think we are blessed and... essential? At least, in this example, we were, and what an example!

I am not feminist, but I know we women have suffered a lot of discrimination for centuries and centuries, and yet we are strong, wise and essential.

God made Adam, the draft. Not happy, he made Eve, the perfection... hehehe... just a little joke.

Answer 1

Of all things about God.. THAT is what amazes you?

You are barking up the wrong tree.

God could summon up 5 of you from the stones in the ground.

Answer 2

What I find amazing is that you (and others) think you know that's what happened. As with so much else about religion, the fact is, you don't know.

I have to also ask how you swallow wholesale this idea of God needing a womb to make a person, though God also supposedly created humans... and the earth, and everything else. Does that not strike you as odd and (just possibly) unlikely? No wonder you think the womb is so special.

It's ok to see your anatomy and your gender as special, as I do, mine. But I don't ascribe any magical powers to it.

So: blessed? I personally don't believe so. Essential? To reproduction, so far... yes.

It sounds like you may be mentally or emotionally working through some events in your past which make you feel the need to express your strength and wisdom. OK. But as for religion, it offers little wisdom and lots of contradiction and hypocrisy. I have no need and little tolerance for it.

Answer 3

God didn't "need" a woman to make Jesus. He created the whole universe without the aid of a woman. He created Adam without the help of a woman. He created a WOMAN without the aid of a woman.

That said, women are AWESOME. A great creation of God. I apologize on behalf the men that came before me for the mistreatment of women in the past. Women are blessed, are essential, are strong, are wise, and we're very glad you're here with us.

Answer 4

Genesis3:15. The seed of the Woman would defeat the snakes deception & curse of death.

Isaiah prophecied of a sign of the comming Messiah, that a virgin will give birth to a babe & His Name will be Emanuel (God with us).

Jesus was born without the sin nature (No mans sperm). Jesus was born of a virgin, conceived by the Holy Spirit. Jesus is the Son of God / Son of Man.

Jesus was tempted like the first Adam, yet didn't sin.

See? The first Adam sinned & we all sin & die. The last Adam (Jesus) didn't sin & suffered our sins on the cross & since He is without sin, raised from the dead. So? Because of the Last Adam, we too can have everlasting life.


And Jesus referred to the Holy Spirit as a He & also His Father.

Answer 5

Just as amazing as when God created woman from Adam's rib, but no woman.

Every human and creature has it's own special condition.

Men in their ways has suffered as well of discrimination in this now century, but not all men are innocent in court, but all are guilty due to the corrupted courts due to domestic between a man and woman. It shouldn't be that way... men should be treated as individuals and not looked upon as all guilty dogs.

Answer 6

Absolutely right!!! Isn't it also delightful that God made man in the Garden of Eden to be caretaker of the entire thing just to find out Adam was incomplete in himself so God had to make him a partner - a helpmate. It takes both sexes to make things work in harmony. Sometimes a situation takes male strength and brawn while other situation call for female strength and compassion.

Answer 7

The woman is blamed in Genesis for the fall of mankind at the beginning of time and, as promised then, God used a woman to bring forth the Redeemer in the fulness of time.

Then, you see the Christ uplifiting women in His ministry. He met with the woman at the well, intervened on the behalf of the adulteress, and commended the faith of the woman who touched the hem of His garment for healing. We are even told that the women supported His ministry with their finances.

And, it is a woman that He honored for her devotion to Him, saying that the story of the one who washed His feet with her tears would be shared wherever the Gospel was taken.

It is as if, when the new covenant had come, God wanted to be clear that the woman was no longer to be held more to blame or in oppression for the original sin than was the man, who also had free will from the start.

So, while I wouldn't say that God 'needed' a woman, for He could have done whatever He pleased, it is a beautiful thing that He chose to clearly redeem women as well as men when it was time for His son to enter the world.

Answer 8

For God to come in human flesh,
one of the parents had to be human.
It had to be that way, because according to the law, the sins of the father were passed to feature generations.

By the way to other answerers, God is not male.
God is neither male nor female.
God is spirit, God has no body or gender of any kind. The only reason he is referred as a he, is because it shows a personality.
Instead of God being just an it. But, in reality God is neither male nor female.

Answer 9

To say you are strong,wise and essential is the greatest underestimation I have ever heard.You are in fact,and I do believe the Lord will agree,the "crowning glory" behind the Bibles great men.

Who is this woman? She who adorns her self with humility and blesses the Lord her God with her life.

Answer 10

I sense a little aggression toward the opposite sex! Yes God choose a women to give birth to Jesus that's probably because Man isn't equipped to do so. But Jesus himself was born male. What's that say about God to you?
