Bible Question:
Way was Mary chosen as the mother of Jesus? At time of spirtual conception, Were Joseph and Mary married or not? In Matthew 1:18-19 It describes Joseph and Mary as being "pledged", then goes on to say that "Joseph her Husband" contemplated divorce to save her from disgrace. Thank-you very much inadvance. |
Bible Answer: Why was Mary chosen as the mother of Jesus? Ask God. He's the one who chose her. Believe it or not, even God has free will and He gets to make choices every once in awhile. Of course God's free will is limited by and subject to man's free will, or so I've heard. Not! Grace to you, Kalos |
