That Mary and Joseph had a particularly friendly milkman?
any of these theories beat the “divine rape” of a 12-13yr old girl if you take the story literally…there is a great deconstruction of the story and it’s history here:
I thought the reason why people say “Jesus H. Christ” was that the H was for haploid given that the only chromosomes he had were from his mom.
Jane Kirkpatrick routinely lectures that virgin means “a woman of independent means”, not someone who never had sex. Virgin can also mean maiden (young woman), and a virgin birth is surprising as young women at the time rarely went into puberty before 16-17. So we know she was young, and we know she was an independent woman, as was her mother (a virgin mother from a virgin mother). This whole thing is silly.
