Is it really that unbelievable that God wanted his Son to be born of a person without sin and that people can go through life without having sex? More miraculous things have happened.
Don’t you know? God can save anyone from sin, except Mary. He couldn’t save her before the Cross. He is bound by time.
—Is it really that unbelievable that God wanted his Son to be born of a person without sin and that people can go through life without having sex?—
There are two separate things there. The first: “Is it really that unbelievable that God wanted his Son to be born of a person without sin”
God clearly says what happened. Jesus is both Son of man and Son of God. He was perfect. The lineage from which He came was not. Every single one of His ancestors, from Adam and Eve all the way to Mary, were imperfect beings. The bible says that “all have sinned and come short of the glory of God”. The only non-sinner to ever live was Jesus, according to His word. Humanity is in two groups: Sinners, and Jesus.
The second: “...people can go through life without having sex?”
Sure they can. You infer something that I did not say. I was not talking about single people or even people in general. I was speaking of Mary, specifically. Generically speaking, the bible teaches that when you are married, your body is no longer your own, but your husbands (if you are a woman). Paul teaches on this very, VERY clearly in 1 Corinthians. Is it possible Mary never had sex? You bet. But it’s highly unlikely. It is like claiming the donkey on which Jesus rode was a very rare color. It would be absurd to claim such a thing. Better to say it was a donkey and leave it at that.
Likewise with Mary. Better to say she obeyed her clear instructions to not have sex until after Jesus was born and leave it at that. What happened afterward is between her and Joseph. It is not relevant to us.
The second: and that people can go through life without having sex?
