Last time I post as Kingsleyda2nd and disprove that Mary was rape. And to anyone said Mary was force or told or trick to be happy clearly never read the Bible well. Mary was full of pure joy in Luke 1:46-55. No mention of her being manipulated anywhere in before Luke 1:46 and after. Mary did say she was a handmaiden or bond maid, but during that time one can choose to be one. https://biblehub.com/topical/h/handmaid.htm
I already debunk the whole thing. But to go over it.
Mary consent and was full of joy (Luke 1:38 and Luke 1:46-55)
Rape is force sex and the Ancient Hebrews believe that the Holy Spirit is female http://www.scielo.org.za/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0259-94222016000100026 They believe that he was birth in Mary https://youtu.be/WvzOPYf9fq4
Ek is connected to a women giving birth https://biblehub.com/greek/1537.htm
The word begat is not use in the original language https://biblehub.com/greek/1080.htm
The original language use ek which again is connected to a woman giving birth.
John compare her to a dove which is a simile for female beauty https://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/5296-dove
Some Christians believe that this god and the Father aren’t the same as they have a lot of differences. Such as this god is for eye for an eye while the Father isn’t. If those Christians are right then Mary didn’t say yes out of fear.
Mary was more likely to be over 16-18 https://books.google.com/books?id=ZU-nBAAAQBAJ&pg=PA52&dq=palestinian+jewish+women+were+expected+to+be+married+by+their+late+teens&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjFr6HP9fjVAhVj9IMKHfMuC3QQ6AEIJTAA#v=onepage&q=palestinian%20jewish%20women%20were%20expected%20to%20be%20married%20by%20their%20late%20teens&f=false late teens years is young, but that is neither a little girl physically or mentally or emotionally. Plus that’s still better then 12-15. Mary seem like she knew what was going to on, so she was mentally, emotionally and physically mature. Plus back then families were less separated, so she would have gotten lots of help and support. Things were just different back then. Some say early twenties Jewish Law and Early Christian Identity
Betrothal, Marriage, and Infidelity in the Writings of Ephrem the Syrian
By Yifat Monnickendam 2020 points out that Palestinian Jewish women married up to early twenties on note 29 page 93-94.
I’m sure some will still disagree. You can’t disagree with facts and written evidence point out that Palestinian Jewish women married later then the early teen years (12 was how young they can married not that most married at 13). Plus Ezekiel 16 points out that most married over 16-18. If you read it carefully all the Bible verses in Ezekiel 16 are past tense. Girlstypically finish breast development by 16-18. I’m sure some will still say that Mary was force.
Being young moms was not a problem back then or in traditional societies as in back then and those places families where less isolated. There were allmothering and all grandmothering.The age of being first time mothers in traditional societies is 16-26. http://professorkateclancy.blogspot.com/2011/04/aapa-symposium-on-evolution-through.html?m=1 (Paragraph 15)
