What kind of mother would go joyously bounding off in jubilation and excitement to tell her cousin the "good news" that she was going to have a baby from god that was going to be hunted down, betrayed and arrested and put on trial, and then beaten senseless then sentenced to death by being nailed to a wooden cross, speared between the ribs and left to die an agonising death?
God didnt tell her those details.
God didnt tell her those details.
I know. He only told her the fluffy stuff about how great he will be and called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of King David, his ancestor. Of which non of these promises came to fruition.
I wonder why he kept these horrible torturous facts from her and didn't tell her the whole truth? It was a bit mean and that this was a cruel and deceitful promise to make to a mother while keeping from her the truth of her sons cruel torturous demise at such a young at age?
I really don't think she could have mothered him much better. You have made up that she did something wrong there.
The US is a definitively secular nation, founded on complete separation of the State and religion. The Left Wing of US realise this but don't realise that pure freedom requires as low tax and free access to guns as possible. The Right Wing of US don't realise that secular pure freedom means the LGBTQ+ and abortion agendas both end up in line with US's liberty-first ethos.
It is left-wing to be pro-life. You are backing poor babies being born at the inconvenience of the already-born. Go figure.
You all know that 14 year old Mary had sex with a Rabbi and when she found that she was pregnant she told her boyfriend that the father was God. Jesus thought he was special until he was crucified on a cross and then said "My God, My God, Why have you forsaken me?"
Here is what Mary was promised by God.
luke 1:30-5
30 The angel said to her, “Mary, do not be afraid. You have found favor with God. 31 See! You are to become a mother and have a Son. You are to give Him the name Jesus. 32 He will be great. He will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give Him the place where His early father David sat. 33 He will be King over the family of Jacob forever and His nation will have no end.”
34 Mary said to the angel, “How will this happen? I have never had a man.” 35 The angel said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come on you. The power of the Most High will cover you. The holy Child you give birth to will be called the Son of God.
that was not the ending Jesus experienced. He was crucified.

No, what I have done is point out the bleedin' obvious to everyone but you, it seems. See post #3 above
But with that said, there are times in the bible that Mary - "blessed among all women" - completely failed to look after her holy gift from god, aren't there?

And none of that promise came to fruition. The only things that Jesus "inherited" were 3 nails , 2 bits of wood and a nice view over the Kidron valley, for his troubles after being betrayed by one of his own , if the bible is to be believed?
And notice, his TITLE was SON -OF God, not god, nor a "three persons" entity.

That is probably closer to the truth that any Christian would like to face or admit.

Why haven’t you accepted his friendship offer. You don’t have any friends listed.
Check again. I did so just minutes after his offer. Though I am not sure that I qualify.
And you didn't address my response above. Why is that?
Debby, please welcome the newest member of the Big Bang Club!
He is not sure he will qualify. Haven’t you measured him yet?
This is his application photo.
He might give the club a big boost.
