    Mary was Christ's earthly birth mother.
    Christ is the Lamb who was slain before the foundation of the earth.

    It is another fairy tale,, there were Saviors long before this jesus dude, that were born under a bright star, of Virgin mothers, and visited by Wise Men,,, The Jesus story just brings up the old ancient stories to fill in the agenda of that time period.....

    THE report in authentic history of a case of a virtuous woman giving birth to a child with the usual form, and possessing the usual characteristics of a human being, and who should testify she had no male partner in the conception, might in an age of miracles and ignorance of natural law, be believed with implicit credulity. But in an age of intelligence, when the keys of science have unlocked the sacred shrines and hallowed vaults of sacerdotal mysteries, and modern researches of history have laid bare the fact that most ancient religious countries abound in reports of this character, a profound and general skepticism must be the result, and a total rejection of their truth by all men of science and historic intelligence.

    In corroboration of this statement we might cite many cases, if our space would permit, from the religious records of India, Egypt, Persia, Greece, Rome, Mexico, Tibet, etc. Maia, mother of Sakia and Yasoda of Chrishna; Celestine, mother of the crucified Zunis; Chimalman, mother of Quexalcote; Semele, ...

    It is still done with out the man present Isa. 40:22: “There is One who is dwelling above the circle of the earth.” In ancient times the general opinion was that the earth was flat. It was not until over 200 years after this Bible text had been written that a school of Greek philosophers reasoned that the earth likely was spherical, and in about another 300 years a Greek astronomer calculated the approximate radius of the earth. But the idea of a spherical earth was not the general view even then. Only in the 20th century has it been possible for humans to travel by airplane, and later into outer space and even to the moon, thus giving them a clear view of “the circle” of earth’s horizon.

    And people believed that crap untill it was proven wrong... As we have been progressing the bible is being debunked every day , with new exploration and findings....

    The Bible also said the earth was held up on pillers and the sky was a dome, which would open and let the rain in... LOL..

    However a woman isnt going to get preggers without the deposit of male sperm... Never has, never will... The old bible story was made up from the older pagan stories about Virgin Birth, pursecution and crucifiction, from a bunch of so called gods long before the Jesus invention.....

    There are some creatures out there that can self replicate, it just so happens Humans have not evolved into that condition.....

    “The Bible also said the earth was held up on pillers and the sky was a dome, which would open and let the rain in” Were does the Bible say that. Here is what the Bible says about the earth “[God] is stretching out the north over the empty place, hanging the earth upon nothing.” (Job 26:7) Compare this with Isaiah’s statement, when he says: “There is One who is dwelling above the circle of the earth.” (Isaiah 40:22) The picture conveyed of a round earth ‘hanging upon nothing’ in “the empty place” reminds one strongly of the photographs taken by astronauts of the sphere of the earth floating in empty space.

    Damn, I have to do all your research for you!!!!

    The Bible also talks about the pillars of the earth. In Job 9:6 it says, "Who shakes the earth out of its place, and its pillars (ydwmu) tremble." The LXX says, "Who shakes the earth under heaven from its foundations and its pillars (stuloi) totter." In Psalm 75:3 it says, "The earth and all its inhabitants are melting away; I set firm its pillars (ydwmu)." The LXX says, "I have strengthened its pillars (stuloi)." In I Samuel 2:8 it says, "For the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s and he had set the world upon them."

    "He shakes the earth from its place and makes its pillars tremble. (From the NIV Bible, Job 9:6)"

    Thats the problem with most bible thumpers,., they dont know what the bible says..And they actually believe the scientificly impossible stories in it....

    Good question. She is the mother of Jesus, but I suppose you could say that she is also the mother of God since as Christians we believe Jesus is part of the triune God. I never really thought of it before, but as I believe that Jesus was both fully God and full man, Mary is really only the mother of Jesus in his fully-man incarnation.

    Jesus never said he was God, but Gods son. Jesus definitely spoke of himself as being an individual separate and distinct from the Father. Hear is just one of many statements he made. John 8:17, 18, “[Jesus answered the Jewish Pharisees:] In your law it is written that the testimony of two men is true; I bear witness to myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness to me.”

    There are many, many things that we have no record of Jesus saying, yet we can imply His diety from other scriptures.

    "I and the Father are one." John 10:30

    The Jews of His time behaved as if he was claiming to be God. At one point, they tried to stone Him for blaspheming, saying "...you, a mere man, claim to be God!" John 10:33

    He said, "I tell you the truth, before Abraham was born, I am" ("I am" being a term meaning God) John 8:58

    In John 20:28, Thomas referred to Jesus as "My Lord and my God", and Jesus did not correct him.

    Look at the context. In verse 25, Jesus stated that he did works in the name of his Father. From verses 27 to 29, he talked about symbolic sheep whom his Father had given him. Both statements by Jesus would have made little sense to his listeners if he and his Father were one and the same person. Instead, Jesus said, in effect, ‘My Father and I are so close-knit that no one can take away the sheep from me, just as no one can take them away from my Father.’ It is much like a son saying to his father’s enemy, ‘If you attack my father, you attack me.’ No one would conclude that this son and his father were the same person. But all could perceive the strong bond of unity between them.

    {"The Jews of His time behaved as if he was claiming to be God. At one point, they tried to stone Him for blaspheming, saying "...you, a mere man, claim to be God!" John 10:33"} And verse 36 do YOU say to me whom the Father sanctified and dispatched into the world, ‘You blaspheme,’ because I said, I am God’s Son?

    {"He said, "I tell you the truth, before Abraham was born, I am" ("I am" being a term meaning God) John 8:58"}
    The question of the Jews (verse 57) to which Jesus was replying had to do with age, not identity. Jesus’ reply logically dealt with his age, the length of his existence.

    {"In John 20:28, Thomas referred to Jesus as "My Lord and my God", and Jesus did not correct him."} Jesus is a god in the sense of being divine, but he is not the Father. Jesus had just told Mary Magdalene: “I am ascending to my Father and your Father and to my God and your God.” Remember, too, why John wrote his Gospel. Three verses after the account about Thomas, John explained that he wrote so that people “may believe that Jesus is the Christ the Son of God”—not that he is God.—John 20:17, 28, 31.

    Everything you have said can also be taken to mean that Jesus believed he was part of the Trinity, the triune God. People can agree or disagree about the Trinity. As a Christian, I believe that God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit are one, and I am satisfied that Jesus made that clear.

    There is no trinity in the Bible. But here is where the teaching started The New Encyclopædia Britannica says: “Neither the word Trinity, nor the explicit doctrine as such, appears in the New Testament, nor did Jesus and his followers intend to contradict the Shema in the Old Testament: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord’ (Deut. 6:4). The doctrine developed gradually over several centuries and through many controversies. By the end of the 4th century . . . the doctrine of the Trinity took substantially the form it has maintained ever since.”—(1976), Micropædia, Vol. X, p. 126.
