Peace be with you, Major1.
I understand your concerns.
You believe that after 50 years+ of studying Holy Scripture and evangelising, that there is no basis for Devotion to Mary, the Mother of God as espoused and promulgated by the Catholic Church.
You believe in Holy Scripture right, Major1?
Let me ask you something.
Did God have a Holy Union with Mary
Or an Adulterous Union with Mary
To produce Baby Jesus?
Is Almighty God a Breaker of His Own Word?
The Sacrament of Marriage as promulgated by Almighty God defined by Holy Scripture is Union between a man and a woman into One Flesh.
And a Man and a Woman is the Image of God.
Spend some time thinking about this Major1 before you answer as it is quite a complex question which requires a deep understanding of Holy Scripture and God Himself.
God bless you.
Let me be clear. My years of study has nothing to do with the Truth of God's Word.
I do not believe that any devotion should be given to Mary BECAUSE THERE IS NOT ONE SINGLE WORD OR SUGGESTION IN THE BIBLE THAT CALLS FOR IT.
You by your choice have chosen to be involved in the Catholic faith. The Catholic teachings therein are their own and are not Biblical in many cases and the worship of Mary is one of them.
Now, your question was, did God commit adultery with Mary?........NO!
Ex. 20:14 says...........
"God tells us that we should not commit adultery".
You are working to show God also takes Joseph’s wife in order to impregnate her. Isn’t this a moral failing?
While God did impregnate Mary, there are a number of problems with calling this adultery.
First, Mary wasn’t married. She was
betrothed (Mt. 1:18). Of course, in Jewish culture, betrothal was
like marriage, but it was still different from marriage.
Second, there wasn’t any sex. Matthew writes that about Mary in Matt. 1:18........
“Mary was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit”.
No intercourse occurred, because God is a spiritual being as seen in Jn. 4:24, not a physical being.
This was a miracle—not a rugged, physical act of sex.
Third, God wasn’t impregnating Mary to TAKE from her or Joseph, but to GIVE to them and humanity. Adultery is a selfish act. God wasn’t impregnating Mary to separate their family (Mary and Joseph stayed together) or to gain sexual pleasure (no sex or physical pleasure was involved). Instead, God was doing this to
give a Savior to mankind, where he went through the greatest suffering imaginable.
Fourth, since Mary was quickly wed to Joseph, this didn’t affect her marriage.
Because Mary was a virgin, her womb was defiled by man which allowed the Lord Jesus to be born without a SIN NATURE.
it REALLY IS NOT THAT HARD MY FRIEND.
