What is this relational connection?>?

Despite the relational connection you are talking about Christians do not seem to relate with their deity otherwise there wouldn't be so much apathy towards him and conversion to Atheism

Your model of "relational connection" fits the Wests Idea of parenthood!

I find that in reality a child needs a stern and strict father who does not contradict himself in order to instill discipline! Those relational connections can come later!

African style father and you stick on the straight path!

Mary and Joseph had never slept together. That is why she is called the Virgin Mary. A child (baby Jesus) was placed in her womb by the Holy Spirit.

Whether impregnated by Joseph or by the Holy Spirit will never change the fact that your savior, the Messiah came out of a 12 year old's v***na (God forgive me)

Were there no 18 year old girls at the time to push out the Messiah into the world?? Why a 12 year old??? Is your God also a pedophile??

You force me to slander Mary to prove my point

You either accept the culture of the time or continue pumping your own foot with bullets with ignorance..

Intellect over ignorance any day any time!!!

serious

You are the one who is ignorant by saying psalms are prophetic words. Let me enlightend you coz they are wha It is called religious poems of many kinds
hymns of praise and worship,prayers for help, protection and salvation,pleas for forgiveness, songs of thanks giving and petitions for punishment of enemies. Got it

The fact of the matter is that the 'teenage' years are modern invention. it's hardly 100 years old and did not appear before the 1920s. Before that girls used to get married as soon as they hit puberty.
