If Jesus is the son of God, how did Mary get pregnant?

mary was a virgin because she married as a child but was still under age of consent, when she reached the age it is possible joseph was not interested as wives were seen property and not married for love.  virgin births were common in biblical times epecially among royalty as they proved a link to the divine.  today in africa the zulu tribe practise non penetrive intercouse before marrige and still end up pregnant even in western world virgin births are not unheard of usually as result of heavy peting i suspect the same thing happened to mary.

I do. It is possible that Jesus and Marie-Magdalene could have been married. It is possible that Jesus and Marie-Magdalene had a child. To many clues, like Renne-Le-Chateau, and it will not be the first thing the Church hides from us.

The bible never says Mary stayed a virgin.  It is very clear that Mary and Joseph had other children after Jesus' birth.  \nThe bible says that they waited to have sex until after Jesus was born.\nMatt 1\n23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. \n24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: \n25 And KNEW her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS. \n\nWe would be foolish to think they stayed married their whole lives without having sex.  Plus the mention of Jesus' brothers and sisters confirms that they did.\n\nThe Catholics believe that Mary stayed a virgin so they could diefy her.  They want to put her on the same pedestal as Jesus and sometimes above Him.  \nIf they would just read the bible, they would understand that this is a false teaching and breaks the most sacred of the 10 commandments "Thou shalt have no other gods before me".

You need to read the Bible, you didn't get much of anything right!\n\nGod is not a human, so stop trying to apply human concepts like marriage, fornication, and adultery to Him.\n\nJesus is the son of God. Mary is Jesus' human mother as Jesus was conceived by immaculate conception.

He is who he is but we were comanded to go forth and multiply so why can't this pertain to him as well?  I have been taught that we have mother god but we aren't told anything about her because father god does not want us disrespecting her and befouling her as man has done to him.  so why can't the son of god have a wife and child as well?  There are too many things in the bible that show that Mary was married to Jesus.  Men and women did not touch like they did unless they were at least betrothed back then.

:}\nseveral points to consider:\n1. Jesus Crist was not concieved by artifivial insemination.\n        a. he was concieved by the Holy Spirit.\n        b. No human male spirm was used in that conception\n        c. The conception was miracle not medical\n2. Few if any religions and no major denominations find  artifical conception a sin

This was during the Crucifixion.\n\nGenerally considered that Joseph was dead and, thusly, Mary was a widow.\n\nJesus, being thoughtful of His mother, was asking that the beloved disciple, John, take care of her.  So, "woman, behold thy son; son, behold thy mother"\n\nApparently a way of speaking, in that age and culture, (and when words were at a great premium)  whereby Jesus said to Mary, now John will be like a son to you; taking care of you. And to John He said, take care of Mary just as you would your own mother.

No, according to the laws of the Old Testament, Jesus would be God's bastard Son, since God was not married to Mary when He caused her to be pregnant with His Son. By modern standards that would also make God a deadbeat Dad, but at the time no such shame was generally attached to the Father. All shame was generally borne by the mother (whore) and the Son (bastard).\n\nJoseph is merely Jesus's stepfather.

The whole issue of Mary being "The Mother of God" is ridiculous. Are people suggesting that Christ did not exist before he came to earth?? He always existed (John CH.1 V1-14) There is very Little mentioned in the Bible about Mary and whilst an angle appeared to her before the birth of Christ and told her what would happen in the near future and told her that she was "blessed amongst women" The bible is clear on the issue of there being only one mediator between man and God who is Jesus Christ.Christ said in John Ch.14 V6 "I am the way, the truth and the life; No man cometh to the Father but by me."  \nNo one but Christ himself can make intercession for us. \nPraying to Mary or one of the saints is totally futile as this is against what the Bible teaches. Aside from acknowledging that Mary was "blessed amongst women" the Lord did not place any other special emphasis on her as the entire point of focus is on Christ as he alone can save us and no one else. We believe that Mary had other children after the birth of Christ as he refered to his brothers. Why wouldn't Mary have had other children as she was young and married??\nThere is too much emphasis placed on Mary and Praying the rosary. Jesus was right when he said that people think that God will hear them for their much rambling and babbling but he doesn't. Jesus gave the example of prayer (The Lords Prayer) in that he addressed his prayer directly to God himself "Our Father who art in heaven....." \n\nIt is important to note that Jesus didn't come to establish a religion, he came to establish a RELATIONSHIP between man and god.\nIts little wonder that the Catholics are soo confused as the Catholic Church added 2 books to the King James Bible.\nThe King James has 66 books, the Catholic Bible has 68 books. Doubtlessly they overlooked the fact that there is a dire warding in Revelations being "If anyone shall add to the words of the prophesy of this book, God will add unto them the plagues that are written in this book" One of the plagues is, of course, death.\nHope this helps.

Jesus was a human being and a prophet of God. Not God. Mary, just a simple lady, was a virgin who was gifted a child - Jesus.\nGod has no parents, no wife and certainly no children. He begets not nor is He begotten. And that is the truth! :)

You have asked a question that has plagued me!\n\nI'm just trying to fathom this deal.  Joseph was considerably older than Mary.  Is their conjugal arrangement  discussed in scripture? I dunno, but I've imagined a scene that might sound like this:\n\nMary:  Umm Honey?  \nJoseph: Yes, dear?\nM:   I have something to tell you?\nJ:    Yes? What is it?\nM:   Well.  you see...\nJ:    Just tell me. What's the matter.\nM:   Well..\nJ:    Just spit it out.. come on.. what is it?\n\n(Pregnant pause...)\n\nM:    I'm preggers.\nJ:     Excuse me?  You're what?\nM:   Preggers, knocked up.. I am pregnant.. (she's crying)\nJ:    There, there my dear.  Oh.. wait?  (counting on his fingers)\n        It's been a long time since we... Wait   a   minute. You  said\n        you were a .. a.. \nM:    VIRGIN!! (Still crying) yes, I AM a Virgin!   you see.\nJ:    I see?  I SEE??  You tramp!!  Harlot!  Why I oughta..\nM:   Dear Joseph.. it's not like that.  It's like I've been chosen..\nJ:   (Interrupting)  Chosen?? Chosen??? I've got your chosen right\n      here!  (moves toward her)\nM:   (Cowering a little)  JOSEPH.  Stop!  I was visited by an angel\n        of the Lord!  He was so beautiful and all angleific and every-\n       thing!  He said I was Chosen and that ...\nJ:    Chosen!? Angel?  Are you nuts!!?  You got it on with an \n       ANGEL?  What kind of fool do you take me for?\nM:   (Under her breath.. There's no fool like an old fool..) He said \n        I was Chosen and we're gonna have a baby and the \n       baby is going to be the Son of God!\n\nJoseph just looks at her shaking his head.  Mary stands and holds her hands at her sides palms up.  She looks like a statue on a Catholic medal.  There's a little nimbus around her head.\n\nJ:     Jesus Christ! You want me to believe that an Angel  came\n        and did what? \nM:    Actually, it was rather nice.  He sorta glowed in that angel-\n        ific way, and zappo, I'm preggers!  Jesus?  That sounds like\n        a nice name.. hmmm Jesus Christ..\n\nLong pause..\n\nJ:      (Mumbling..) Jesus Christ Almighty!! What's for dinner?    \n         Your mother isn't coming over again is she?\nM:     You're not upset are you?\nJ:      I'll set the table.  (Mumbles.. ) Jesus Christ!  Jeeezus!\n\nMary hums a little supper preparation tune and wonders when Joseph will fix the front door, which hasn't closed right for months.

Maryam : 19 : 88-92\n\nThey have said that the Beneficent God has given birth to a son (19:88). This is certainly a monstrous lie! (19:89). \n\nThis would almost cause the heavens to rent apart, the earth to cleave asunder and the mountains to crumble down in fragments, (19:90) to ascribe a son to the Beneficent God (19:91). \n\nThe Beneficent God is too Exalted to have a son (19:92).\n\nAz Zukhruf : 43 : 81\n\n(Muhammad), say, "Had the Beneficent God really had a son, I would certainly have been the first one to worship him (43:81).

There is no evidence they arrived the night He was born. That is a teaching from drama programs. If fact there is evidence to the contrary. When Joseph and Mary went to make an offering   in the temple, the offering was turtle dove. That is what poor people gave. So some time after that the wise men came. \n\n2:1  After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem\n2  and asked, "Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him."\n\n11  On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold and of incense and of myrrh.\n\n21  On the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise him, he was named Jesus, the name the angel had given him before he had been conceived.\n22  When the time of their purification according to the Law of Moses had been completed, Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord\n23  (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, "Every firstborn male is to be consecrated to the Lord"),\n24  and to offer a sacrifice in keeping with what is said in the Law of the Lord: "a pair of doves or two young pigeons."\n25

No, jesus was just one of many supposed "sons of god" that came out of the middle east area during this the same period.  Mithras in Persia, Ra in Egypt, and Bacchus in Greece also were worshiped at the same time with similar stories (virgin birth, wise men led by star, miracles)  The Bible simply out-competed the other books.  Its funny how many religions have stories where women are impregnated by God at times when their husbands were out of town.
