The Quran refers to Mary as a virgin. I suppose you translate that as simply "young girl", which is inaccurate. There were, I am sure, other terms for loose young girls, both in Israel and Arabia, just as there are where you live today. And the differentiation was much more important to people then than it is now in the countries where most posters to this site live.Regarding this thread "Does the Baha'i religion..." it was begun in January 2015 by "simplegifts" and "revived" by jackcv on November 18th... In terms of how the latest discussion relates to the Baha'i Faith I felt moved to post here that Baha'is do accept the birth of Jesus as miraculous... and other than the statements of the Bible and the Qur'an on the matter we have nothing more to add. As to the Bible we generally accept that it contains spiritual truth. Rather than a literal word to word perspective we accept that much of it is allegorical and symbolic. I hope this clarifies where Baha'is stand on some of the points discussed more recently on this thread.
