Has Jesus been Reborn?
About six years ago a 10-year-old girl was raped. This “Maria” may have fulfilled the prophecy of a virgin birth since she was too young for normal birth and was forced to give birth via C-section.
We do not yet know if Maria’s son is the second coming.
CHURCH and STATE Stephen D. Foster Jr. | 14 August 2015 The story below uses some of his text.
Unlike the stories in the Christian bible, this is a story that we know is true .. we have contemporary witnesses and the baby is growing up in our midst!
Six years ago a now 16 year-old girl was raped and impregnated. The “right to life ” crew denied her an abortion and, in the name of Jesus, a son was born. The girl’s name has been kept secret, but I will call her Maria!
Perhaps these Christians should read their bibles. For one thing, they want their Jesus to be of the house of David. What the Christians seem not to understand is that any legacy of David could not have been passed through Joseph under Jewish law. Jewish law accepts science as part of that law. Not known to the writers of the Jesus bible, male heritage is passed through the Y chromosome and Mary was not a male. Jesus simply could not have been, according to Jewish law, a messiah.
So was Jesus a goniff, a bastard? Maybe. About the time of the mythical Jesus, there was an outspoken critic of the Roman occupation. He was a bastard, the son of a Roman Legionnaire called “Pantera” and a Jewish woman named Miriam.
A thousand years later, under the Inquisition, Rabbi Nachmanides, made exactly that argument when the Talmud was tried by the Inquisition for blasphemy against Jesus, After all, ben Pantera was a historic figure an opponent of Rome! The grave of Yeshu ben Pantera, also known as Tiberius Julius Abdes Pantera, was found in Germany. in the 1800s. Pantera was real. alive at the time of the Christian story and .. a bastard.
The story of the Paraguayan Mary is a scenario that Trump’s Republicans would love to see play out here in America where abortion is a constitutional right for women. Amnesty International called on Paraguay’s government to repeal its strict anti-abortion law, saying the girl was lucky to be alive.
Erika Guevara, the rights group’s director for the Americas, said the fact that the child survived “does not excuse the human rights violations she suffered at the hands of the Paraguayan authorities.”
Officials in the South American country “decided to gamble with her health, life and integrity despite overwhelming evidence that this pregnancy was extremely risky and despite the fact that she was a rape victim and a child,” she said.
UNICEF notes that at least two girls between 10 and 14 give birth every day in Paraguay and three girls are currently preparing to give birth in the same hospital where the 11-year-old gave birth this week.
Today Trump’s Republicans speak as if rape is an acceptable method of conception sanctioned by God. Just click here to find 40 such examples of conservatives talking about their opposition to abortion exceptions for rape victims. And yes, if Republicans had their way, even child victims of rape would be forced to carry pregnancies to term, even if it means they could die from the attempt. And to add insult to injury, if any of those girls should lose a pregnancy that was forced upon them, conservatives would also love nothing more than to imprison them for having a miscarriage.
