Ps. What apologising? For speaking facts? For not believing in traditions. Mary was never once described as a barely pubescent child. I shown before that in ancient Israel a girl who is starting puberty would be a maiden not a woman. Not a woman until 12.5 and finish with puberty. Jesus call a 12 year old a little girl. Jesus still call her a little girl meaning that she is prepubescent or pubescent. Mary may not exist, but base on what I said above and the sources I gave under my old accounts. The real Mary was more likely to be post pubescent teen than some little girl or young teen when God chose her. 1st century books doesn’t imply or say she was a little girl who enter puberty or else they would’ve call her a maiden. It said she was a woman so thus a post pubescent teen. Even use the Greek world for woman instead of girl.
korasion: Greek word for girl, little girl. According to the Jews that would be a girl at least 12 an have hit puberty, but not full puberty.
guné: Greek word for women. According to Jewish laws that would be a girl at least 12.5 and who reach full puberty. According to Bible hub a women of any age, but base on research girls under 12.5 aren’t women, so a women of any age that is no younger then 12.5. I don’t know about Greek, but in Hebrew a woman can mean just female since that some translation have it young women or women children in Numbers 31:18. But I think in Luke base on everything I said prior Mary wasn’t some barely pubescent child.
Yeah maybe Mary doesn’t exist, but base on the many sources I’ve read (gave under my old accounts), Mary was a post pubescent teen who was legally an adult by ancient times standards. If she was done with puberty, physical development and was legally an adult then calling her underage by modern standards is dumb even if she is fictional. Yeah say that she was rape, but she live in a different time period where the age of majority was lower. And again it’s not like she was barely pubescent. And forsakes Mary doesn’t come off as a teen or at least a young teen. She didn’t have trouble nursing so breast as at adult shape. She show maturity. You can say she was a mature teen. Okay so? Teens were adults back then so yeah, but I don’t think they show that much maturity back then. Yeah sounds like she was older then a young teen.

You don’t have to read the whole thing in one day, I mean breaks. I’m so tired of people posting Mary was 12-14 when she conceived from the CE even when they aren’t finished reading and it said 14-16 when she conceived.

After all how can mothers learn how to mother without grandmothers? And I don’t think most drop dead at 30.
