Incest?

[LogDog]

So I understand that god and jesus are one and that god is responsible for impregnating Mary and that Mary gave birth to jesus. My question: does this scenario equate to a form of incest?

 

[Nanda]

No, the conception wasn't sexual.

 

[Kungfuzed]

No, the conception wasn't sexual.

Are you sure there wasn't a noodley appendage involved?

God and jesus are two separate entities.

"God Works in a natural order to things"

The term "Virgin Mary" was a form of revrence to her and not actual history.

She was a virtuous and chaste woman (hence "Virgin Mary")which was higly uncommon in those days, who never layed down with a man untill she had been married to joseph. they had a child who was indeed the Savior, Jesus Christ.

If god had a physical or spiritual union of that matter he would be breaking his own commandments regarding adultery.


who's is to say he wasn't married and has an eternal companion? because Godhood cannot be accomplished without being married and sealed in the temple for time and all eternity

God was just like Man.

"As Man is now, god once was; as God is now, Man may become"

Adam and Eve's children were incesteous so....

Only if your own parents producing you is a case of incest.

God does not create by ejaculating sperm.

So...logically, if she weighs the same as a duck, she's made of wood, and therefore...A WITCH!

I've never heard anything like that, since I was under the impression the common reaction to premarital sex or adultery in that time and place was stoning. Are there any nonBiblical sources that talk about this?

Exactly. Incest requires sexual contact.

Stoning applied to adulterers i do believe, not women who just wanted to sleep around, there are plenty of mentions of the word whore and concubines in the bible so i don't see how they would stone women that were unmarried.
