That's awesome. And I think the flux capacitor is acting up again.
Is that part of the time machine thing-a-ma-jiggy? .:unsure::LOL:..Or is that for, "Beam me up!" .:giggle:

Speaking of time, I could not find the car clock. Hopefully there is one!

I don't know where the gas cap is either LOL. I hope it's on the driver's side...

To save space they put a sun dial on the roof. Don't park in the shade when you need to know the time.

Quite frankly your question makes no sense because there is absolutely nothing in Scripture to suggest that Mary was asked permission, period. In fact what we are told is that Mary was informed that she was going to bear the Christ child... And it strikes me as quite odd that people are protesting against this and giving all sorts of ridiculous reasons why not to agree with what Sccripture explicitly states.

..
it's not so odd when Mary, no matter what people want to believe, had the right to say No.

but she did Submit! and there is Proof She submitted by her response in Verse 38.

who cares about how something was presented, it ended with, MARY, saying, YES, because SHE really WANTED to do this Great Thing Almighty God presented Her with.

God never Ordered Her, He had His Messenger say, THOU have been FAVORED by the LORD!

who denies God, when He, is about to Promote You?

Except for the fact that Mary wasn't asked.... period.
No, She was told She was Favored and Qualified to do a Job for God.
Then Mary said, How could that possibly ever happen?
after Mary got her answer, she Said, YES!

Even Mary was able to ASK GOD a question here.
So, Mary, does not feel pressured at all.
Just really in Wonder and Amazement how She could have not just a child and be a Virgin, but a Child, that is God.


She really knew God was Rewarding Her.

Look at Her Response, Do as God's Word States!

That must have been a real Moment in Her Own Walk in God.

100% bro.

And most certainly, Mary knew a good deal when she heard it. Then of her own free will accepted the terms.
Same thing can be said of redeemed Christians.

God has never done a Vito Corleone offer on anybody anywhere anytime.

That is not the issue, and never has been. Jonah said no, too.

Still strikes me as odd that people would rather call God a tyrant and introduce rape into the equation and
outright disagree with what Scripture explicitly states than admit Mary was not asked for her permission
.:censored:

Slice and dice, cut it up any way you want... Mary was not asked!

Seems some people will give up their own integrity just for the sake of "winning" a disagreement?

why bring up something i did not say but others? others, aren't in this conversation.
the Angel begins with, THOU HAST BEEN ""HIGHLY FAVORED"" by GOD:

This, from word Go, is a Promotion, for Mary's faithfulness to God.

There's no way She would ever say, No!

It seems pretty clear that you are deriving your theology from your habitual Netflix viewing and pop "Christian" music addiction.

May I suggest fasting and praying?

Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,

Jonah said, No, because he did not want to see Nineveh Saved. he wanted them ALL to burn in Hell.

Mary heard, this Baby would Save His People. She said, SIGN ME UP!

Both situations involved Saving Souls.

1 was against it
1 was for it

God's professional development program may seem harsh at first glance, but in the end, God is always justified.

The Genesis account is not all you have. The rest of the Bible gives details about the nature of the beginning of everything. I gave you some references from Romans, 1 Corinthians, and 1 Timothy about Adam.



How? How does the text of the Bible lead to that supposition? What verse?



The Scriptures also don't say there were purple gorillas living on Mars 6000 years ago...that does not mean we have a good reason to suggest they existed. Your point here is irrelevant.



Not just everyone living...
"From him, all people were made". "Adam's sin brought death to "all people".

Everyone human who has ever died is a descendant of Adam (1 Cor 15:22).
sigh.....

Ok, you've won... you've beaten me into submission.

I don't have the time or the inclination to repeat what my hypothesis is ever few pages. Go back and read, if you wonder what verses led me to my postulation.

I don't feel any need to defend to the death my random thoughts and musings. I've explained what I think, and really don't need to be "converted" by anyone, especially by someone that is likely way less than half my age. Thanks for the conversation....

You offered a lot of food for thought bro. Don't be a stranger.

Look at the gas gauge on the dash display.... there will be an arrow or triangle on the side of the little gas pump icon.... whichever side of the pump its on, is the side the gas fill port is.... easy peasy

Thanks... no, I'm not going anywhere.... just not continuing a senseless "argument" that was never supposed to be an argument in the first place...
