She wasn't married to Joseph when she got pregnant. Sloots gonna sloot etc. He married her to avoid her being stoned to death. Simps gonna simp etc.

That's true if you're a protestant. But if you're a catholic then she never had sex at all for her whole life.

My children, with whom I travail again in birth untilChrist is formed in you.
Galatians 4:19

Christ forms in us like he did in Mary.. she is a symbol for the whole church..

Jesus said anyone who hears the word and keeps it "is his mother"...

Mary was also 13 years old when God impregnated her...making God the first **** in recorded history.

Oh wait, Joseph was at least 20 years old waiting for the grass to grow so he could play ball before God swooped in...making Joseph the second **** in recorded history.

Can’t make this up! LOL yes you can...

God didn't impregnate Mary... he formed within her.

It happens many times in the gospels, where the authors are trying to “fulfill” OT prophecy in their stories. Merely writing a story that a prophecy has been fulfilled, is of course not evidence at all of an actual amazing fulfillment of some prophecy.

So the answer is Mary is a virgin because of a likely mistranslation, and there is not really evidence for any of this including the individual in question outside the biblical narratives anyway.
I almost believed you. Then I see you are numberguy12. Nice try Satan. You are not bibleguy12.

2 Corinthians 13:5
5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how thatJesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

Colossians 1:27
27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which isChrist in you,the hope of glory:

Because the God who said, Out of darkness light shall shine, is the One who shined in our hearts to illuminate the knowledge of the glory of Godin the face ofJesus Christ. But we have this treasurein earthen vessels that the excellency of the power may be of God and not out of us.
2 Corinthians 4:6-7

Zechariah 2:5
For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will bethe glory in the midst of her.

You were birthed out of your father's ass. You fall short under the glory of ass.

God loves himself some Rube Goldberg mechanisms, that's why Mary was a virgin.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

A young women/girl was a virgin in not only hebrew culture, Israelite/Judean culture, but Semitic culture in general. if she was not, then she was a wife or a whore in the eyes of society. The projecting back with feminist/leftist notions is really disturbing to me but it is happening, and has been happening.
There are plenty of Biblical scholars who hold the position stated in my post, but this is besides the point anyway. First, this is an ancient and not commonly used Hebrew word, thousands of years old- there is no “definite answer” here as there is “what is 7+2 in ordinary base 10 arithmetic”.

It would not be surprising at all if the Greek interpretation was off the mark (actually there are questions even if virgin is definitely meant by parthenos in the Greek, but traditionally it is thought to signify virgin).

The main point though, is that the author of the gospel of Matthew is likely just making sure the pieces in his story match OT prophecy, so this is the reason “Mary is a virgin”*. In fact, the author is essentially just checking off the boxes throughout the entire 2nd chapter of Matthew, for example:

-Micah 5:2 has the ruler of Israel coming from Bethlehem? Solution: say Jesus was born in Bethlehem.
-Hosea 11:1 had the son coming out Egypt? Solution: make up a story about Joesph and the family escaping to Egypt briefly to escape Herod, so that Jesus can then “come out of Egypt”.
-Jeremiah 31:15 has weeping and great mourning for the loss of children? Reference this by inventing the story of Herod slaughtering the young males under 2 years old in the vicinity of Bethlehem (oddly unmentioned in historical record).

The author of Matthew even directly quotes scripture, using phrases like “for this what the prophet has written”...almost as if there is an agenda to fit the Jesus in his story to prophecy. Either way, simply writing a story that a prophecy has been fulfilled, does not mean any prophecy has been miraculously fulfilled.

So the answer to OPs question still is along the lines of: because of how the author of Matthew (for example) is interpreting Isaiah 7:14, in a desire to fulfill OT prophecy.

*: I put this in quotes since there is no extra-biblical historical evidence of Mary, much less evidence of her being a virgin. It is unclear what we are even talking about historically here.

So god himself who inspired the Bible could not for see people mistranslating things, but some guy on the misc could? If this isn't proof that the Bible is not the word of God, then IDK what is.
