Subject: Mary's virginity remained intact |
Bible Note: Hello Parable, Under the Mosaic Law (applicable at the time that Mary became pregnant) adultery occurred when there was a sex act. There was none between God and Mary. You mentioned emotions, and that has some bearing since lusting after another woman was to be considered adultery. There was no lust of God for Mary. Conclusion: There was no adultery on any level. You speculate about impregnating a woman without intercourse. Since this was an impossibility, there is no point in mentioning it. And even if it was possible at the time, it is still not adultery since no intercourse nor the desire of it took place. You need to remember something of paramount importance here. God said that the two would become one flesh (Gen 2:24). That requires a physical act. It seals the emotional and spiritual bond between man and wife. Nothing like this happened between God and Mary.
