God,Mary…abortion?

Could "God" have stopped Mary from getting an abortion? After all, if humans truly have free will, then God could not have interfered…right?

if this seems profound to you then I'm disappointed

I just read that the real translation of
Mary wasn't 'virgin', it was young girl.
The newly corrected Bibles reflect this.

Where did I state or imply I was attempting to be "profound"?
Is your statement meant to cast aspersions upon me? If so, why?

Maybe it wasn't, but it's a more ingenious, more practical way of restating the god paradox, i.e. can an omnipotent deity create a rock so heavy even he can't lift it?

Thanks for the compliment

You're welcome.

FYI, I can already see a workaround. Paradoxes are so obviously paradoxical they cannot be shown not to be paradoxes at all ;)

if you are not trying to be profound, then you are just being silly ... but this is in bad taste.

Why is a philosophical question re: God and free-will silly or in bad taste?

I don't get why it's silly. We're told a virgin
got impregnated by god, and that's not
silly? On a scale of 1 to 10 on the silly
scale, with 10 being silliest, it's about
an 8. I mean, c'mon, really? It's right up
there with a fat guy who comes down the
chimney with presents.
