Why, in the Bible in Luke, did Gabriel seal the lips of Zechariah until John the Baptist was born because of his doubt and were there not have some kind of consequences when Mary (monther of Jesus) asked how can this be?

Mary questioned her own qualifications/worthiness. Zechariah was serving as the priest in the Holy of Holies and doubted the power of God. Not to mention that the miracle of the Virgin Birth was unprecedented while the opening up of the elders womb is a miracle repeated on several occasions in the OT.

She was just a lil girl. God doesn't care if we ask questions. And I agree with the other person who said Zec should have known better.

I third that notion because it sounds about right.

They asked different questions. Zechariah said, "How can I be sure of this?"
He wanted proof, he didn't believe the angel.

Mary asked, "How can this be?"
She believed the angel, but it didn't really make sense so she asked for clarification.

There's a difference, I think.
