Jewish people who really got Mary pregnant?Do you think it is foolish to believe that god did?

Answer 1

We have no idea who got Mary pregnant- but we deny that God goes around impregnating young women like some Roman God who.

And no, the Talmud says NOTHING on the subject. The only reference to a MIRIAM getting pregnant by a Roman soldier is in a time around 400 years before the time of Jesus.

Answer 2

God sent the Holy Spirit to place the Child into the womb of Mary. No more foolish than believing in quarks.

Answer 3

In the jewish talmud it says that J's father was a soldier named pondiera, and just by the way she was married and not a virgin, her husbands was just not in the city at that time thats why J's followers made up this story of how she got pregnant.

Answer 4

It is the hallmark of pagan, idolatrous faiths, to confuse God with human beings, either that God becomes human, or that humans become God. In Biblical history, one sees this confusion with Pharaoh, and with Haman, as well as with Antiochus, the Assyrian King against whom the Maccabbees rebelled. Furthermore, as one example, in Hosea 11:9 God tell us, "For I am God and not a man."

Answer 5

It's odd to me that people can believe "in" God but have no faith what-so-ever in His abilities. Of course He, through Holy Spirit, impregnated Mary. Why is that so hard for people to believe?

Answer 6

Most likely Joseph. There is no reason why the birth of the messiah should be anything but absolutely unremarkable. Certainly no need for a virgin birth.

Answer 7

The whole story smacks of goat-herder mythology, doesn't it? Giants, dragons, unicorns, walking on water, virgin birth.
There's no tangible evidence of this story compared to, say, reams of evidence for, say, quarks.

Answer 8

Frankly, I have no idea. It's not something we ever think about since the "New Testament" has no part in our religion.

Answer 9

Not foolish, just funny.

Answer 10

Miraculous Birth and absolving of Virgin Mary from slander

"Then We sent to her Our spirit, and he appeared before her in a form of a man in all respects." This refers to angel Gabriel. So at the time this (miraculous) event took place, this pure and chaste woman had set out to devote herself to worshipping God, and she had placed a screen in front of her for this purpose in order to protect her honor and chastity and so that she can establish her worship. Then lo and behold, a human that was well-proportioned in his form and beauty suddenly appeared before her. So she demonstrated the signs of her chastity and modesty in this instance, saying: "Verily, I seek refuge in the Most Gracious (Allaah) from you, if you do fear Allaah."

Then the noble messenger Gabriel gave her news that caused her fear to be removed and her heart to find tranquility: "I am only a messenger from your Lord, (to announce) to you the gift of a righteous son." So she replied in amazement: "How can I have a son when no man has touched me, nor am I unchaste ?" So the angel informed her: "So it will be. Your Lord said: 'That it is easy for Me. And We wish to appoint him as a sign to mankind and a mercy from Us.'"

So this spirit blew (the life of Jesus) into her. So she conceived Jesus, and withdrew with the baby in her womb to a far away place. There she gave birth to her child and was faced with the problem that any chaste and honorable woman like her would feel, so she wished she was dead. Then there came that removed her fear and anxiety: "(The baby Jesus) cried out to her from below her, saying" 'Grieve not, your Lord has provided a water stream under you.'"

These were the signs and miracles that increased her reliance, tranquility and faith in the fact that God would protect her, demonstrate that she was free from any claims of fornication, and manifest her honor and nobility. So all she needed to do was to point to this infant that the slanderes used as a means to accuse her of fornication. This child said from the cradle: "Verily, I am a slave of Allaah. He has given me the scripture and made me a prophet. And He has made me blessed wherever I may be. And He has enjoined on me prayer and giving of charity for as long as i live. And (He has enjoined me) to be dutiful to my mother, and He has not made to be arrogant and wretched. And peace be upon me the day I was born, the day I shall die, and the day I will be raised alive."


.... Adam also was born miraculously

Does the miraculous birth of Jesus make him a God or a "begotten" son of God? No! says the Holy Quran:

"The similitude of Jesus before Allah (God) is that of Adam; He created him from dust then said to him: 'Be', and he was." The Holy Qur'an,Chapter 3,Verse 59

If being born without a male parent entitles Jesus to being equated with God, then, Adam would have a greater right to such honor.
