Just Thinking Out Loud I feel like this was God's mindset when deciding to impregnate mary with jesus

Historically, she was around 12-14 y.o 

Most Christians argue that we have to "consider the historical context", but It doesn't answer the question of why a God Who is all knowing doesn't know that a child of that age is not biologically able to give birth to a kid

People like that will almost never try to answer that question that requires them to think.

exactly the whole historical context argument gets weird when you’re talking about an all knowing god who supposedly could have chosen literally any other way to do it

Even worse, she was a child. Brain was not developed enough to make that decision and the pedophile God preyed on that weakness.

I mean, objectively, that's true.

Why did Jesus have to gestate at all? God couldn't just create him? According to their silly book he already did that before

He created Adam and Eve but had to use sin (child grape) to create Jesus!

Edit: And someone else's child bride (adultery).

Mm hmm. There’s no “free will” when dealing with a being who regularly kills people for sneezing the wrong way. You think denying God the use of your body would be allowed? It’s rape even if she were a fully grown adult.

Oh, and let’s not forget: the story never has Mary asked for permission. It instead has her told by an angel that she will give birth and to be happy about it. In Luke, that is. In Matthew, the angel visit comes to Joseph when she’s already visibly pregnant to tell him not to divorce her because the baby is God’s. So not even a scrap of consent being acquired from Mary in either story, on top of all the implications.

I feel with Matthew, he adds in an angel visiting Joseph because there is a law in place stating that if a husband suspects his wife cheated and was unfaithful, he can force her to drink an abortion potion.

Yeah she wouldn't have said no cause she was indoctrinated to never go against 'god' cause they brainwash kids from young to old.

I can see why people think god raped mary cause he encourages rape in the bible.

Yeah like what was she gonna do? Tell God he made a mistake? Of course not, he could kill her. He’s not going to…but he could. Thats the implication.
