Did God ask Mary for permission to impregnate her? (Holy Spirit, bible, perspective)

Perhaps the 3 wise men (in Orion's belt) could tell you.

now that's interesting. in some of the older mystical cosmologies, the sun was perceived to be female.

Considering the culture of the day, it either makes Mary a wanton ****, or God a rapist, which makes Mary a wanton ****.

Either way, Joseph is the real man here, stepping up to the plate and marrying Mary, claiming anothers child as his own so she would not be killed, and the child not be a bastard.

She was worried about her hymen. God said "I got a way around that, how about it, baby cakes ?"

Mary, hi it's God. If you're not doing anything on Saturday night I was wondering if you'd be interested in becoming pregnant with my only begotten son, Jesus Christ. He's going to be a nice kid and will be able to turn a glass of water into wine which is kinda nice. There's other fringe benefits as well, people will be saying Hail Mary billions of times for centuries and you'll be famous. Is it a date?

I wonder if god would mention to Mary that JC will have to suffer a horrible death, would she agree to have him in the first place??

Not to mention this was a first date and all...

As was said to me when I posed this question to a group I know, "Gawd don't need no p'mission, he be Gawd by damn, he do's what he wanna do's" Somehow, I kinda expected this type of answer, I think it is the first rule of playing to the house, "know your audience!"

Yeah, it is kinda like him to not fully disclose ALL of the pertinent data. I feel sure that you noticed that he only included the parts that made him look good. Uhhhhhh, this does not necessarily assume that gawd actually exists, but, if he did exist, would he actually abide by "full disclosure?"
