The miracle of the virgin birth of Jesus Christ has perplexed many people, and actually has kept them from accepting the truth of Christianity. However, the Bible declares that God decided His Son would have a miraculous entrance into humanity.
Seven hundred years before the birth of Christ, the prophet Isaiah said, "Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel" (Isaiah 7:14, NASB). The New Testament records the fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecy.
Through the intervention of the Holy Spirit.
The angels came down to Mary and told her that she would have a son named Jesus, and he would be the Son of God. She then gave birth to Jesus at a very young age.
Yes. But, that was a thousand years, before He Became Incarnated in the Womb of His Mother, the Virgin Mary.
No. Mary wouldn't exist if it wasn't for God Almighty. God simply chose Mary because she was a virgin woman from the tribe of David [which fulfilled the prophecies] and Joseph because he was a just man of the tribe of David.
In Luke 42:1 Elizabeth proclaims " "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! There are a number of reference in both the Old and New Testament to the fact that Mary was a virgin.
The verse in the Bible when the Virgin Mary agreed to carry Jesus in her womb is Luke 1:38: "Mary said, 'Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.'"
True. The Immaculate Conception refers to the protection from original sin that Mary enjoyed from the moment she was conceived in the womb of her mother.
No, Never, the Immaculate Conception refers to the conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the womb of her mother, Anne. Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, was NOT conceived, He was incarnated in the womb of the Blessed Virgin nine months before Christmas.
By the power of God the Holy Spirit came over her and put the Son Of God in her womb. That's what i was told anyway.
The Blessed Mother was a Virgin her entire life. According to the constant teaching and belief of the Church she was a virgin before she became pregnant with Our Blessed Lord. She remained an intact virgin even during the process of Our Blessed Lord's birth, and finally, she remained a virgin until the day she entered heaven. She was a perpetual virgin while also perpetually a mother both to God and to every Christian. Her womb remains every virgin and ever fruitful.
The Blessed Virgin Mary is the Mother of God.Though still a virgin she carried a child in her womb, and the handmaid and work of his wisdom became the Mother of God" (Songs of Praise 1:20 [A.D. 351])."The Virgin Mary, being obedient to his word, received from an angel the glad tidings that she would bear God" (Against Heresies, 5:19:1 [A.D. 189]).
This sentence is taken from the prayer, the "Hail Mary" and the Gospel of St. Luke 1:42 "Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb." The "Hail Mary" is addressing Mary, the mother of God. It is her womb that is being spoken of in this sentence. The fruit of Mary's womb, that is, the child born of it, is Jesus. "blessed" is the predicate of "Jesus", Who is the fruit of Mary's womb. The sense is thus: "Blessed is Jesus, the fruit of thy womb".
The angel Gabriel said that phrase because the Lord is with her. Why "full of grace?" Because the Lord blessed the Holy Virgin Mary so much. It's a blessing to have the Holy Messiah on your womb."The angel came to her (the Holy Virgin Mary) and said, 'Peace be with you! The Lord is with you and greatly blessed you!'" (Luke I:28, Today's English Version 1992)
According to the teachings of the Catholic Church, the Immaculate Conception is when the Virgin Mary was conceived in her mother's womb, and she was kept free of original sin to anticipate Jesus Christ.
