They were both humans, Jewish, Believed in God, obeyed God, served God according to His WILL.
They were Betrothed...(they being Jewish and faithful to God...the presumption, by their betrothal, they would have planned to Wed according to Jewish Custom)...
After their betrothal; and before they became husband and wife; came the angel messenger to give them a message From God.
They had One restriction (sound familiar? Adam ring a bell? One restriction...)
To not consummate their marriage UNTIL After "the Son of Gods Birth".
Matt 1:
[25] And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son:
Nothing whatsoever prohibited them from marrying, living together, doing all normal things married couples do... except hold off from sex for 9 months.
Hogwash. Any number of people could be betrothed/ engaged, wed, and suffer an accident, coma, and not consummate their marriage for months.
Sure she was. No one said otherwise. And every woman baring a child can comprehend her blessed uniqueness.
You jump to knowledge THEY did not YET have.
As a human man and human woman, they were the:
Earthly parents of: A "holy thing", told he is To Be Called the Son of God..and JESUS.
And;
the LAWFUL (according to man's LAW),
parents of a baby boy.
Luke 1
[35] And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
Matt 1:
[21] And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS:
That is made up. The angel told Mary a "holy thing", Called the Son of God, and told Joseph to call Him JESUS...and later we are revealed that "holy thing" is the Word of God"...
FORETOLD in Isaiah 55:11 BY God..
[11] So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
And when that Holy thing accomplished...
John 19:
[28] After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.
[29] Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth.
[30] When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
Chosen Yes.
Sanctification (set apart) No.
That did not happen UNTIL, she received the Holy Spirit Acts 1,2.
Gods creation does not bare its own Creator!
You calling Mary the Mother of God is False teaching and NEVER taught out of Gods Mouth, nor was taught by Jesus, His Disciples, or written in Scripture.
God is without Beginning or Ending.
He has NO Beginning!
He has NO mommy or daddy.
He is ALMIGHTY...ALL Mighty.
Supreme Might and Power above ALL things.
He can MANIFEST Himself in ANY Likeness that pleases Him.
He elected to Manifest Himself..IN the "likeness" as a man...Phil 2
To teach hard headed- Stiffnecked Human men ...the Word of God, face to face, as an Example...for stiffnecked men TO SEE.
John 19:
[7] ... he made himself the Son of God.
Sure it does.
They wed shortly AFTER being Informed Mary was conceived (pregnant) in her womb.
Matt 1:
[20] But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
[24] Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
Luke 2:
[4] And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David;
[5] To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
Come on man, that is juvenile Carnal talk, and the discussion is about the Spiritual Power of God.
Mary did Not Become Pregnant BY the Holy Spirit Fertilizing Mary's Seed!
A woman's Seed (egg) is Not "fertilized" by a seed in the Womb!
Fertilization of a woman's Seed occurs in the woman's Fallopian tube....then the fertalized egg, travels to the womb and THEN the woman is Conceived (pregnant).
No Seed is EvER mentioned being in Mary's WOMB or anywhere in Mary.
The everlasting, Word of God, came forth out from God, and By the Power of the Holy Spirit was entered into Mary's Womb, in a Body Prepared of God....for When He would come into the World. Heb 10:5
Are you kidding?
You are teaching Gods Spirit marri-ED a human Woman?
Don't disappoint, SHOW The Source of Gods Word Teaching such incredible nonsense.
Glory to God,
Taken
