How old was Mary when Jesus was born?

Yes, Yahweh is a pedo.

No, only people 18+ can experience miraculous virgin births

how old was she when she lost her virginity?

it is possible but there is no proof, teenage pregnancy holds a greater risk of death during childbirth, joseph had not pregged her yet so they couldn't have been married for long, she was still alive 33 years later, if she was 51 when god was nailed, she would have been 18 when god nailed her, that is probably about right

Miraculous birth, retard. Sarah gave birth when she was 90 years old or something, keep your biology where it belongs.

>joseph had not pregged her yet so they couldn't have been married for long
That would imply she was very young indeed.

>she was still alive 33 years later, if she was 51 when god was nailed, she would have been 18 when god nailed her, that is probably about right
Where do you get 51 from?

I've always heard she was 14. Also I'm wanting to think that when Jesus was conceived she wasn't actually married to Joseph yet, just betrothed. I'm not sure about that though.

Yes it is possible.

We don't really have any proper sources about Jesus or Mary so we can't know.

she was 12-14

just read the last sentence again, and think about it.

>How old was Mary when Jesus was born?
Enough.

>Ever-Virgin

Makes sense, recently Bat Mitzvah'd thus adult in Jewish eyes, married but not yet living with Joseph (Jewish custom), she'd be roughly 14.

Book, chapter and verse, please.

Mary and Joseph were only betrothed when she fell pregnant to the Holy Spirit.

In the past girls got their periods when they were 17, due to industrial pollution they now menstruate as young as 10 years old

Matthew 1:25 tends to be a prime source of the doctrine (not the only but a prime one for the idea because of how Mary words her current virginal state in a "I have no plans to have sex ever," but it was a contentious point up until the 4th century when it was codified. Prior to that you had Tertullian vouching for the Virgin Birth but not Perpetual Virginity, and Irenaus vouching for both. Origen vouched that Jesus' siblings were from a prior marriage of Joseph's and in the 3rd century Hippolytus of Rome called Mary "the tabernacle exempt from defilement and corruption," and Athanasius, Epiphanius, Hilary, Didymus, Ambrose, Jerome, and Siricius continued the attestations to perpetual virginity in the 4th century, ensuring it continue from there on out.

Huh, that's an entirely reasonable proposition that allows both the Gospels and Church teaching on Mary to be directly true. How come it doesn't get brought up more often? Is it just because Origen's a bit of an odd dude among Christian thinkers?

Possibly, others suggest that the Greek word used "Adelphos" just meant Jesus' extended family as a whole ranging from baby brother to "3rd cousin twice removed" and coupled with the idea of perpetual virginity that it makes sense they were his relatives but not actual siblings because the Greeks didn't care about the specifics or something.

And still others just hate the idea of Mary being special to any degree and insist she was a sinner who had sex with Joseph many times, died and rotted away and is no more holy than any other human soul in heaven with here role of "entire reason why the Incarnation was able to happen in the first place" being heavily downplayed.

You mean 21+, surely. After all this is a good Christian nation.
