The Virgin and the Child
Father, I had encountered someone saying “so if Jesus and The father are one and the Holy spirit is also their spirit is this mean God himself impregnate Mary?
HELLO KARLA,
FIRST LET US STUDY THE MEANING OF THE TERM ‘IMPREGNATE’ FROM THE DICTIONARY:
impregnate [English Collins Dictionary - English synonyms & Thesaurus ]
1 fill, imbrue (rare) imbue, infuse, percolate, permeate, pervade, saturate, seep, soak, steep, suffuse
2 fecundate, fertilize, fructify, get with child, inseminate, make pregnant
impregnate
vb tr
1 to saturate, soak, or infuse
to impregnate a cloth with detergent
to impregnate a cloth with detergent
2 to imbue or permeate; pervade
3 to cause to conceive; make pregnant
4 to fertilize (an ovum)
5 to make (land, soil, etc.) fruitful
impregnate [Translation English - Cobuild Collins Dictionary]
( impregnates 3rd person present) ( impregnating present participle) ( impregnated past tense & past participle )
1 verb If someone or something impregnates a thing with a substance, they make the substance spread through it and stay in it.
♦ -impregnated comb in adj
2 verb When a man or a male animal impregnates a female, he makes her pregnant.
YOU CAN SEE IN THE MEANINGS AND SYNONYMS GIVEN ABOVE THAT THE ACT OF IMPREGNATING IS A PHYSICAL ACT WHICH INVOLVES INSEMINATION. GOD DIDN’T INSEMINATE MARY WITH SPERM CELLS BUT INSTEAD MADE A MIRACLE OF MAKING HER PREGNANT WITHOUT PHYSICAL CONTACT: NO INSERTION OF MALE GENITALS OR OF NEEDLES CARRYING SPERM CELLS AS IN THE CASE OF IN VITRO FERTILIZATION, NO INSEMINATION AT ALL… THAT IS THE REASON WHY HER VIRGINITY IS PRESERVED LIKE THE SUNLIGHT PASSING THROUGH A GLASS WITHOUT BREAKING IT.
GOD DIDN’T IMPREGNATE MARY BECAUSE GOD DIDN’T COMMIT SEXUAL INTERCOURSE WITH HER, IN FACT HE PRESERVED HER VIRGINITY. MARY BECAME PREGNANT BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND SO SHE BECAME PREGNANT BY THE POWER OF GOD. BUT GOD DIDN’T HAVE SEXUAL INTERCOURSE WITH MARY. NEITHER THE FATHER, THE HOLY SPIRIT NOR JESUS IMPREGNATE MARY BECAUSE NONE OF THEM HAD SEXUAL INTERCOURSE WITH HER.
Thank you father!
