Quote by: linda_mary_13  I think it's important to remember that Jesus came to fulfill the scripture. Mary was a virgin and a faithful Jew. Her pregnancy was not questioned because the circumstance was appropriate. Mary had twins. Jesus is not evident until he is 12 years old in the scriptures. The scriptures are written after Jesus death, so when retrospectively looking back the authors write, regarding Jesus, starting at birth. Mary and Joseph were devout Jews and the representation of their life is accurately portrayed, but the actual mental consception of Jesus does'nt occur until he is a youth.So, the physical consception and the actual consception are separate.Jesus was sent by his Father. I would suggest he occupied the body after birth rather than during birth. To anyone unaware of this, which everyone was, Mary and Joseph would appear a normal Jewish family, respected in their faith as following the laws, which would mean that Mary was a virgin at the time of the consception. |
Personally, I dont think it was to 'fill' the scriptures as much as it was to fill the prophcies of the Old Testiment. If that was the case then we would not have the cannon going on after his death. There wouldnt even be this Book of Revelation that is the 'supposed' end of the Bible.
