No doubt Mary and Joseph would have been bethrothed in their home town, like most other people of their time. Matthew's Gospel says that Bethlehem, Judea was their home town until after the death of King Herod, while Luke's Gospel says that Nazareth, Galilee was their home town.
Where exactly to find in the Bible the age of Mary when she gave birth to Jesus?
The Scripture does not mention her age. Jewish tradition in this time period had young women 'bethrothed' around 12-13 years of age and married approximately 1 year later - around the time of Jesus' birth. Tradition has Mary as being in the range of 13-20's.
Did God commit adultery with the Virgin Mary?
Unless God (is not subjected to or) does not follow his own rules--then I would have to say Yes, He committed adultry with Mary, by taking another mans bethrothed and making her pregnant...But that must be OK for the greater good?Catholic Answer:To commit adultery one would have to have sex with the woman. This did not happen. God simply willed for Mary to carry his divine son and it happened.

Would Mary and Joseph's parents have gone to Bethlehem also?
At the time of Luke's journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem, Mary and Joseph were only bethrothed, and Mary was still a virgin. We can assume that they were both in their teens, with Mary probably in her early teens. Their parents would likely still have been alive and less than forty years old. If there really was a census during the reign of King Herod, something most scholars dipute strongly, then Joseph's parents would have been expected to go Bethlehem as well. Tradition tends to support the notion that Mary was also descended from King David, although the Bible is silent on this, in which case we could also expect her parents to travel to Bethlehem as well. However, for some reason, Luke's Gospel makes no mention of the extended family travelling together to Bethlehem.
Why were Ephraim and Manasseh allowed to be part of the 12 tribes of Israel when they were half Egyptian?
The Bible does not address this issue as put (except in the Deuterocanonical Book "Joseph and Asenath"), but religious traditions do.Jewish ViewAsenath, Joseph's wife and the mother to both Ephraim and Manasseh, is believed to have converted to Joseph's belief in one God when she was bethrothed to him since Joseph would not marry a heathen. Therefore, she was like the other wives of the patriarch lineage (Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel, and Leah) in that she grew up polytheistic but converted to Hebrew belief. Additionally, there would have been an issue if Asenath were a Canaanite, but Egyptians were sufficiently different from the Canaanites that there was no bar on marrying them if they converted to Hebrew belief.Just as Sarah's children and Rebecca's children, etc. were still holy and connected to the covenant, Asenath's children were similarly bound to the covenant and could become tribes of Israel without issue.Biblical Answer:Quite simply, it was because Israel (Jacob) adopted them as his own. The full story may be read in Genesis 48. These two boys were given the 'birthright' blessing from Israel with the younger Ephraim becoming a great company or commonwealth of nations and the older Manasseh become the single greatest county the world has ever known. There are some biblical scholars who equate these two 'brother' nations as Great Britain as the great Commonwealth and the USA as the single greatest nation.Genesis 48:5New King James Version (NKJV) 5 And now your two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you in Egypt, are mine; as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine.
What did Tudors believe in?
The Tudor Dynasty is amazing.After the War of the Roses with the Yorks and the Lancasters, the Tudor Dynasty began withKing Henry VII--he had 2 sons: Arthur & Henry VIII (Arthur died)King Henry VIII bethrothed Arthur's fiancee Princess Catherine of Aragon who was from Spain and they had little Princess Mary Tudor.. King Henry VIII loved Catholic Doctrine, but he was obsessed with the idea that he needed a Son & Catherine could not have any children because of old age, so he was forced to go against the Catholic church to Anull (divorce) the marriage to marry the playful Anne Boleyn who promised him a son...Henry became head of the church through the Act of Supremacy and introduced a spark of the Anglican Protestan church, but practiced Catholic Doctrine secretly. Anne failed and gave him yet another daughter named Princess Elizabeth Tudor, Henry beheaded Anne and married a third wife Jane Seymour who finally gave him a son named Prince Edward VI, Jane died during childbirth..He had more wives after, but Mary, Elizabeth, and Edward were his only three children: Henry declared his line-of-succession:Edward VI- He was the FIRST TRUE protestant King of the Anglican Church, but died at a young age, Henry was never REALLY protestant he had to become protestant to divorce and marry other women for a son.Mary I- Mary was 1/2 spanish & she was SUPER-catholic, she exceuted 500 protestants and bought back Catholic doctrine to England, but died of old age. (Known as Bloody Mary)Elizabeth I-The last Tudor heir was protestant and was known as a 'politique'- Elizabeth was known to be England's Greatest Queen as she was well-educated being able to speak about 5 languages fluently, she loved art, and was very flirtatious--England triumphed greatly during her rule of 40 years...She declared to never marry and so no Tudor heir was left---She named her nephew King James I of Scotland as King of England and she died leaving a considerable amount of debts behind. (Known as the Virgin Queen).
Is batman going to have children with wonder woman?
[No, Batman has gay overtones, and the same has been said for Wonder Woman though toned down somewhat. Dr. Wertham attacked both strips in Seduction of The Innocent, way back in l954. comics lost the war... his trousers snapped, that killed a Jap, oh well!-odd battle damage.]This is one person's opinion. In reality the 'Seduction of the Innocent' was a dubious piece of literature that played on the fears and lack of understanding of parents. It 'won' because it played to the greater denominator rather than sticking to the truth.Bruce Wayne has always been a playboy, with a string of ladies, some in serious relationships, many in superficial. Of the serious, Bruce has many times (certainly demonstrated in the comics since the 1970's onwards) had intimate relationships, something that has never been even hinted at towards males. Heck, near the very beginning of the comics he was bethrothed to a Julie Madison. And he reacts heterosexually when under Poison Ivy's drugs.In the print comics, Batman and Wonder Woman are frequently portrayed as opposites. One a rich industrialist, a man, non-powered, scorning magic and prefering science. The other a woman crafted of clay and granted both life and powers by the gods, royalty, penniless in 'man's world' but rich in family (back on the island). They frequently come at things from different directions, and often end up with different results.Batman refuses to kill beyond all reason.Wonder Woman has killed (not lightly), humans as well as monsters.Despite these differences, the animated shows used these opposites, to create an almost romantic situation between them.But that's about as far as it has ever gone, at least in all the eppisodes that I have seen and I think I've seen most of them. While it is an intriguing idea, that the two might get together, and produce children, I do not see it happening. Not without serious plot development.Another sticking point, is that in the print comics, Bruce has already fathered a child with Talia, the daughter of Ras Al Ghul.-Regarding the Batman and Wonder Woman gay overtones, Btaman is conclusively heterosexual. He is the father figure to Robin, not sexual partner. Some comic strips seem homosexual when taken out of context and they really represent the artist and writers of their day. Generally assertions that Bruce Wayne is gay come from those wishing to express the idea as an insult to Batman (which is a homophobic attack) and those wishing to make fans feel bad.Batman has a son with Talia in "Kingdom Come" which is set in the future and is possibly an alternate future. In that same story, Wonder Woman and Superman are expecting a daughter and Bruce Wayne is asked to be the godfather.The Justice League cartoon clearly and repeatedly expressed a love interest between Batman and Wonder Woman with Batman feigning disinterest but betraying himself by his actions. Wonder Woman was more overt but it was never openly depicted as a sexual relationship, more of as two interested people that have not gotten together. Batman even goes so far as to explain why any love interest for Batman would be in mortal danger, which Wonder Woman refutes by crushing a rock in her bare hand, thus showing herself to be more than capable of handling any threats.Wonder Woman did have very clear lesbian and bondage elements but they were toned down with her showing an overwhelming interest in men as well.
