How long did Jesus gestate in Mary's womb?

 

The bible doesn't say but it was probably a normal birth, so I would say 9 months, why do you ask?

 

He's far closer to God than angels as seen in Hebrews 1:4. People worshiped him numerous times in Matthew and he didn't stop them.

 

It depends on what perspective you're looking at Jesus from. From God's perspective Jesus is his son. From our perspective Jesus is the fullfillment of everything our feeble little minds can ever know about God so to us Jesus is God. Everything else is simply beyond our comprehension.

 

Yes he is, he God's only begotten son.

 

Maybe so but that doesn't make Jesus, God, he still remains God's son.

 

The view that Jesus and God are separate entities is only half true. They are also one. Jesus is part of God. God creates with his Word/Jesus.

 

They are separate entities, Jesus is the only begotten son and God does not nave a beginning. There was a time when Jesus did not exist and God has always existed. How can they be one in the same if that is true?

 

Was Mary aware of the exact moment of conception with the holy Ghost?

 

The Bible does not say.

 

Does Mary ever speak or tell any of her history in any of the translated biblical texts?

 

But Mary said to the angel: “How is this to be, since I am having no intercourse with a man?” In answer the angel said to her: “Holy spirit will come upon you, and power of the Most High will overshadow you. For that reason also what is born will be called holy, God’s Son. And, look! Elizabeth your relative has also herself conceived a son, in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her, the so-called barren woman; because with God no declaration will be an impossibility.” Then Mary said: “Look! Jehovah’s slave girl! May it take place with me according to your declaration.” At that the angel departed from her. (Luke 1:34-38)

 

I just thought it was interesting. In all honesty, I read it on wikipedia (and we know that it cannot really be trusted) and posted it for intrests sake. I haven't looked at it critically though. I also do not read Greek, so I can't comment on the original text or compare it to other non biblical/non-christian texts. that is where I think the true test lies. Is this idiom used for other epople other than christ in this context?

If not, then it is fairly moot.

 

Afterwards, the Blessed Virgin Mary also visits Elizabeth and John in Elizabeth's womb leaped at the sound of Mary's voice.

She didn't affirm it, but it seems Elizabeth knew what was up...

 

To whom is "the glory forever and ever" in Hebrews 13:21?

 

I suppose some of the bible is to be taken literally.

How was Elizabeth related to Mary, and what would the relation of her three month old premature baby in accordance with Mary's kid?

What do you make of this passage?

 

They were cousins of some sort. Some texts will say "kin-woman", while others say cousin. that would make Jesus and John cousins of sort.

Hebrews, Israelites, and Jews did not have the same sort of kinship patterns as we do. cousins extended farther than we consider.

The Douay-Rheims Bible renders it as this: And Mary said: "Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it done to me according to thy word." And the angel departed from her.

(I added the quotation marks) I like it. It shows the BV Mary's complete trust in the Lord. There is a reason "all generations shall call [her] blessed". She was chosen to be the Mother of the Lord

 

Seeing as the sentence structure is complex, it is difficult to say for sure whether it is referring to God or Jesus but I would say it refers to God.

 

Why is Jesus worshipped then? Also, I never said they are one and the same. I believe Jesus has a connection with God and they aren't completely separate.

 

Yes they have connection they are Father and Son.
