I need to entertain this thought. Please be serious in replies without ragebait and quips because im curious.

Why did God decide to incarnate in a womb of a jewish woman named Mary? Mary wasnt the only virgin woman in similiar situation so why specifically in a jewish community at the height of Rome? Just please entertain this thought if you believe in God/Jesus Christ. He does transcend race, but doesnt that make Mary, Jews, Rome etc irrelevant in the sense that their specificity is completely random. Is this with any clues explained in the Bible?

Im trying to use logic and empirical evidence together with the mysterious and the divine. Im not questioning this to discredit, but to strengthen my faith.

It appears that God decided to work salvation through a certain people group. They were not chosen for those role due to any obvious superiority compared to other groups, quite the opposite in fact since God tells us that He likes to show His strength through the weakness of those people.

His interaction with those people over the years is what makes up most of the content of the OT, and the NT tells us that these interactions contain a great deal of information about Him. They are given as examples for us to learn about Him through.

As for why Mary was chosen, we aren't really told. Personally i just think that the timing and placement was how He wanted it to be.

If Jesus transcends race, then God choosing a specific ethnic group like the Jews is the contradiction. By choosing one chosen people, God effectively invalidated every other culture and race for thousands of years.

Is God a tribalist? Why should a person in 1st century East asia or Mesoamerica care about a local deity from a desert they never heard of? lol

Certainty is a downer in this entire thing. If thats the case, why choose the worst of the semitic groups, was there no one among various Indo-European descended peoples who were in a similiar situation. Although argument can be made that Palestine/Levant were quite important to Rome and generally world history, but again there were various groups living there.

>>524633756
Yes, yes it is a contradiction, but im trying to step in with a curious and open mind as much as i can.

Part of the promise made to Abraham and confirmed to Isaac and Jacob. Promised David to have a man on the throne. Mary was of the lineage of David.

It had to be someone so who are you to question it? God befriended Abraham and He is the source of all good things so being friends with God comes with great benefits. He then made Abraham's descendents become prophets which then wrote down His words which were later used to distribute to all people. Jesus came for us all. Jews aren't special
>>
>>524633947
according to the bible, Jesus' connection to the lineage of David is only through Joseph
>>
>>524633364
It is indicative of how God fills all of reality, from the highest to the lowest. Descent into the womb of a peasant Jew mirrors the final act of Christ's descent into the lowest place, death itself. That salvation depends on the womb of one random girl also speaks to the precariousness that God seems to have built into nature. Again, a mirror/echo: humanity depended on the fragile boat of Noah after the flood, you depended on an arbitrary sperm cell meeting an egg, a tree depends on a seed. The pattern of precariousness and distillation into a single point seems to be built into God's design.

There's also the stuff about the line of David but I'm not so into geneology.
>>
>>524633911
>why choose the worst of the semitic groups,
for the exact reason i mentioned - to exclude the merits of the people in order to maximize His own actions, power and love for a people that everyone else could see didn't deserve it.

that of course is precisely what the Gospel says about those chosen to be Christians - that we are utterly without merit or ability to merit salvation or His love and forgiveness. Indeed, we positively demerit it and by rights He should judge us immediately to hell.

>yes it is a contradiction,
it is not a contradiction at all. it was a starting point from which every tribe people nation and tongue were to become His chosen people.
>>
>>524633945
There are arguments about when, how and did that even took place, its a historical mess overall.

>>524633947
Why did they specifically matter in comparison to other men? Because look in all other religions and belief systems man is separated from God and even Buddha is just an "enlightened" individual. In Islam God is also separated from man, only in Christianity God was and is man at the same time as God. Now that isnt problem in itself because it could truly be a beautiful truth, but its the prioritisation of specific individuals and group of people which in reality could have been random as in with names and location, but its highly likely that half of them didnt exist. Because names themselves carry metaphors and symbology not the flesh itself.

Hes not a real person he's the shape of the soul. A symbol of vast meaning given a face and name to be human. It's a pattern of thought and a way of being in life for emotional wellness and stability. Christ is an energy signature that births inside the untouched part of you. The original innocence that is buried by the world over time. That's the virgin he is born from. Virgin birth in the world is impossible unless you're a frog. There is no race or gender in Christ because it's energy and that doesn't even have flesh.

There can be no logic when it comes to irrational beliefs in imaginary supernatural beings.

cant say if they were the worst of people possible on the earth but it certainly seems, from OT references, that they were at least as bad as those in the general area, particularly in terms of their religious practices (sacrifice of children, idols etc etc. Looking at the kinds of laws that were given them its also possible to say that they were as much into slavery, strange sexual practices and general injustice as everyone else was.

But, time and time again, God showed that despite their inferior numbers and basic ineptitude, they were able to overcome adversity and greater nations only through Gods active involvement. I mean, even your basic David and Goliath story is a picture of that. Christs victory of sin, death and the devil is of course the fulfillment of all such examples
>>
>>524634685
Maybe it is describing a certain event that played out in a similiar way, but through lack of written records it was distorted through word of mouth and it served its purpouse as more of a fictionalised version of itself to those who needed it to leave their mark and knowledge in the world.

The most fertile dirt is rotting corpses and shit.
You plant a seed in rotting corpses and shit and new life abounds. Put it on a pillar in the sun and it doesn't grow.
You plant your seed in a woman's womb. Plant it on a wise mans forehead and it doesn't grow.
God planted His seed in the most fertile soil... He brings forth Good out of evil. Monotheism and duality are inextricably linked.

hes also not a christian so dont confuse the Holy with the profane or secular scholarship with what is God's Will
remember, ezekiel 38 said that God puts hooks in the mouth of the nations listed to force them to comply with said Will
jiang is paraphrasing what the bible already describes in multiple places as to the hatred justifying persecutions and invasions of Israel
tldr is basically satan try as he might cannot ever destroy israel because israel is God's created purpose for Redemption through Jesus Christ, and if jew/israel disappears then satan disproves God - which is never going to happen obviously

>Im a Christian myself, orthodox specifically
Don't hit me with that "as a black man" shit.

Here's the problem I take with this argument being made from a supposedly-Christian stance: to understand what Jesus is means to understand that the flesh does not matter. The body of Jesus was meant to be sacrificed, and his life to end in suffering before resurrection. To try to atteibute the divinity of his story to his flesh misses the point and is borderline blasphemous. I can understand a non-Christian making this mistake in Biblical canon, but a supposed follower makin it is going to give me a yellow flag.

As for the point of your question, it also relies on the same accidental fallacy of conflating Judaism the religion with the "jewish" race. To say that a practicing Jew is a problem (which in itself is a categorical issue since the Talmud was compiled after Christ) would almost imply that a non-practicing irreligious kike is okay. This is the stance taken by a lot of people who post that dogshit "DAE why is JEWsus a JEW" poster, but it deliberately ignores that what makes kikes evil is a genetic fault of their race.
>>
>>524634810
>Maybe it is describing a certain event that played out in a similiar way
so how do you know ANY of the old testament, including all the shit about David and Israel, is "real"? how is the virgin birth or Jesus real, when there's nothing outside the bible even pointing to his existence?

Lies. You don't understand your own religion, and the modern rabbis rightfully mock you for it. The entire jesus story is rabbinic midrashic pesher of the "son of man" stuff in Isaiah. It's not historical. It is prophecy manufacturing.

>>524633756

Moses tried to build a theocratic God-centered society.
It failed and things degenerated quickly.

Christ's salvation would have perhaps been in a different format had it not.

>>524634444
>bible isnt literal

there is also four ways of interpretting the bible: Pshat,- literal / narrative

Sod Pshat - esoteric / hidden beneath the surface

Sorry, i do come from an orthodox family, but i was never a firm practitioner, not because of lack of faith but certain practical reasons (im living in a catholic environment and orthodox churches were a bit far away). So because of certain disconnect with my familiar sect (orthodox) and not flocking to catholics immidatelly i used that time to think about things and got thirst for knowledge to better understand the place of beliefs.

Because a Messiah had been prophesied to be born there. And at the time the people were expecting a Messiah to be born amongst them.
I'd say read the Gospels but actually to help you get a better picture of what 1st Century Judaea was like, watch Monty Python's Life of Brian. There were lots of messianic claimants and lots of groups convinced that their particular claimant was the expected Messiah.

God couldn't incarante anywhere else, like Norway or Japan. Well, I'm sure they could but would have no hope of being recognised as one and the same God that the Bible was talking about.

>>524633364
You have to understand that modern jews are not the Hebrews of the old testament.
Mary just like all the prophets of the old testament were Christian because them and their religions sole purpose was the coming of the messiah that was prophecised. Modern Judaism was founded in 33 ad on the rejection of the words of the old testament, and on the killing of the God messiah. It's an antinomy of the one true faith, be it if the old or new covenant. These pharisees and most jews at the time of christ were not even ethnicly Hebrew as they have been replaced and mixed with the enemies of the Hebrew, the edomites, especially during the 2nd and 1st century BC after the macchabean revolt. Including their ruling "royal bloodline" with Herodius.
Christ and most of his apostle came from a spared remote region, just when the subversion of the judeans was nearly completed, both spiritually and ethnicly. Modern jews got even more mixed through history after that

Yes here's where you basically have it.

That makes your God sound reactive and incompetent, not sovereign. If Christ is just a "Plan B" necessitated by human failure, then His incarnation isn't a divine triumph, it’s a desperate damage control.

You are basically admitting that human stubbornness is more powerful than God’s original intent

We see it the other way around really - that the morality etc is from God and it just happens that this people group was formed to pass those ideas on until such a time that God expanded the whole thing to the rest of the world in a much greater way then previously.

its bit of a crude way to put it but in a sense i suppose you could say that, though im not sure where you get the part about throwing it in the trash from. He didn't do that. notice how many early Christians were jews. notice who He first sent the Gospel to and which people got to have God in flesh amongst them for years and years.

No, God promised that He would never abandon the jew and He didn't...He still hasnt because He looks after them and brings many to faith in Christ to this very day.

Oh shit... It’s really pathetic to watch you try to de-Judaize a religion that literally calls its God the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The fact that you both agree on this disposable box theory only highlights your collective insecurity.

Why the dietary laws? Why the temple rituals? Why the specific prophecies?

If it was all just a generic universal message, God could have dropped a monolith in the middle of Rome and saved everyone the trouble.

It's a word game. You take group A and get everyone in the world to refer to them as B and then things get messy when you ask about "B" and compare it what you know as A.

You are trying to play both sides now to look reasonable. But Do you think this makes sense?

If God never abandoned the Jews and gave them the exclusive privilege of having the Word in flesh for years, then their identity is not just a random coincidence. It is a divine preference.

This means your God is not a cosmic creator but a local deity who successfully used Rome to franchise his ethnic cult. You are not embracing the roots.

You are just trying to hide the fact that your entire faith is a branch of a tree you are too proud to admit you did not plant lol

Lucifer thought he could do better, when he was created to be one of God's closest angels. He didn't just fail his purpose, he wanted to go against it.

Nobody ever said Lucifer was a threat. In fact he was cast down fairly easily. Stop looking at Hazbin Hotel-tier stories as Biblican canon.

Wrong. You're trying to equate an unfalsifiable statement with a biological contradiction. The problem is that we know the scope of said biological statement and what that entails (the complete restructuring of a human's generic makeup, hormonal balance, and aging growth), and can conclude that this isn't possible. With the statement of God, we cannot make such claims because God, categorically, exists outside the confines of our current universe. The only way to equate the two is to somehow prove that existence is only confined to our immediate universe, which science is skeptic to even propose.

one interpretation of the Bible is that it is the story of the downfall of the synagogue of satan. Not unlike Lucifer, who was God's favorite, Jacob's bloodline was selected out and elevated by God. They were given all the opportunity in the world, yet decided to kill God instead. That is the story that needed to be told to the world. A warning to the world of who the mortal enemy on earth is. Without telling this story in this way, the warning would not be potent enough.

I'm a subscriber to the ""Satan" is a title" belief.
But, yes, there are multiple demons. Lucifer is usually the one most people think of, so for the sake of consistency and pedanicism, I'm making the distinction.

>you know, god's other son
Please source this shit.

>I wonder why you didn't selectively greentext this bit
Because your question is meaningless and self-defeating, and I wanted to laugh at the redundancy of it, and didn't think I needed to spell out how retarded it is.
Yes, God could have done "anything." He "could" have... made the stars spell out explicit messages. If he did, we would still be having this conversation, only you would be making the same points as before.
Imagine a parallel reality where this does happen. Your post would probably change to something like "well, if he existd, why doesn't he do something like, I don't know, come down to Earth and perform miracles?"
