Read "Alone of all her sex" by Marina Warner to see that Catholic schoolgirls were taught in gruesome detail about Mary's hymen less than a generation ago, at least. Warner went to a Catholic high school in England and became a secular feminist, and this book is a searching exposition of the cult of Mary and its consequences.<br /><br />Christine reminds us implicitly that a woman who has never been penetrated can conceive if an ejaculation of semen takes place close to her genitals, but Christine is not suggesting that this was the case with Mary, and the relevant Biblical verse is where Mary states that she "knew not a man" - a suitably general phrase that confirms Mary's chasteness.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11772087.post-89792871289199017202012-09-24T00:05:39.543-04:002012-09-24T00:05:39.543-04:00Let's just add some links to porn sites while ...Let's just add some links to porn sites while we're at it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11772087.post-3925023101755213302012-09-22T00:25:55.355-04:002012-09-22T00:25:55.355-04:00Christians are being stripped naked and CRUCIFIED ...Christians are being stripped naked and CRUCIFIED on trees facing the Presidential Palace in Egypt, by the Muslim Brotherhood.<br /><br />Source: www.greenscapular.orgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11772087.post-57258558264015979312012-09-21T23:32:22.633-04:002012-09-21T23:32:22.633-04:00@Anon 12:29

I have this challenge for you, Christine, how about spend 3/4 of the time you now devote to "minutia"(others are correct that you are too explicit and off topic to the sad extreme)and spend that amount of time actually reading the Bible-and obey what you read by esteeming others and their thoughts and opinions more than your own)to develop a relationship with Christ? What a different tone you would take as to actually edify this blog instead of what you are doing now. This is reasonable and for your own spiritual health and to the health of good dialogue here. And how about visit the prayer closet while you are at it and do some repenting like many of us feel need to do? I am serious when I say you are showing deep neediness in your spiritual life and I pray you will recognize this. Jesus will satisfy your soul, Christine, if you will allow Him to.

I also don't believe that if it were established that He did, that would be relevant.<br /><br />The only reason this sort of thing is thought to derail Christianity is either the speaker thinks that Jesus' divinity is understood (or supposed to be understood) as at the expense of His humanity, OR they think that the whole edifice of Christianity hinges on traditions and inventions, The Bible included, of an organization that didn't even exist when the NT was being written, i.e., the RC, and Christianity was growing by peaceful conversion for over three centuries during which the authorities either ignored or persecuted it, and Christianity had no worldly power to use to shape anything.<br /><br />Finally, the argument that Jesus is not a polygamist, so cannot have had a literal wife and the Church as wife, fails for two reasons. First, the literal wife marriage ended with His death, which was not a near death situation but actual death, and His Resurrection didn't change that. <br /><br />Second, the Church being a composite thing consisting of millions and millions or billions of individuals, yes, by definition, He would be a polygamist. <br /><br />But this is the sort of absurdity you can get when you push a metaphor into too literal an analogy. <br /><br />Another error of similar nature, is the idea of Manifest Sons of God that the Church as mystical body of Christ is identical with Christ ergo the Second Coming is some kind of empowerment of the believers. <br /><br />Christine Erikson (aka Justina)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11594093718714798117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11772087.post-17079858673087266542012-09-21T08:24:12.028-04:002012-09-21T08:24:12.028-04:00Thank you Paul.

Mary was femal and had two X chromosomes whereas Jesus was male and had an X and a Y, so they were not genetically identical. So there is a genetic miracle involved in the birth of Jesus. How I would love to see His Y chromosome (the one from the father)!<br /> And no I don't believe the Ron Wyatt story about finding his blood in the rocks beneath a likely crucifixion site at the Garden Tomb in Jerusalem.

I merely don'...I agree Jesus was never married. I merely don't think it matters.<br /><br />The divine angle to Him not being genetically transmissible, if He had a child it would only be human and not divine also. <br /><br />The evidence pro and con Mary's perpetual virginity is too dicey to settle either way. The usual reasons for arguing her perpetual virginity that the EO uses don't hold water, not one of them.<br /><br />HOWEVER Joseph disappears early on so the idea he was an older man with children from an earlier marriage fits the picture. These would be Jesus' brothers and sisters, since these terms are not used with the same precision we do.<br /><br />Since the military were expected to be celibate if Mary was early on known to be an unusual spiritual warrior, perhaps it was decided fitting for her to take some oath of perpetual virginity.<br /><br />NOW AS TO VIRGIN BIRTHS, the animals that do this if not mammalian the result is male. If mammalian, the result is female. Jesus is male, so He is not the result of a natural parthenogenesis, nor an induced one, which would result in the twin sister of the mother.<br /><br />Neither is He the result of artificial insemination by aliens or whatever, since she is called "almah," which is more than merely betulah, intact hymen. Intact hymen means nothing reliably. The hymen can survive intercourse sometimes, if narrow and thick enough, but almah is more than just "young woman," it implies veiled, isolated, untouched. No petting even. non penetrative sex acts like dry humping, and of course oral sex or anal sex would leave the hymen intact, but this would be a technical virgin not an almah. <br /><br />Also semen spills during such activities could end up in the vagina and the tadpole whip tail things (sperm) heading up the vagina and fertilizing an egg. This has happened occasionally.<br /><br />Isaiah's use of the word almah rules all this out.Christine Erikson (aka Justina)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11594093718714798117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11772087.post-72795772303359024792012-09-19T22:43:58.542-04:002012-09-19T22:43:58.542-04:00Jesus' "wife"

Might there have been folk knowledge suggesting this at the time, leading to the belief that it could happen among humans? Making human virgin birth seem possible and not so strange to others? Google the topic using the words "animals virgin births". This is not to take away from belief in Christianity as much as to examine what seems impossible to many. The child of such an unusual person might be unusual himself, a person with a deeper understanding of life and what is beyond. <br /><br />More importantly, this does not take away from the belief in God which who we can only understand in human words, but never know completely with our limited knowledge.
