No. If anyone would have touched her, the Ark of the New Covenant, they would have died just like the people who touched the Ark of the Old Covenant died.

Scripture that states this?


As painful as seeing salvation's arguing by analogy is seeing your failure to point out at least two problems with the analogy: 1. only those who were not legally authorized to "touch" the ark were struck down; therefore, Joseph, as Mary's husband, would not have been struck down since he was legally authorized to "touch" Mary; 2. it's also an example of amphiboly, where one word is used in two different senses in two different parts of the argument to claim they are alike: but nobody ever had sex with the Ark of the Covenant and nobody was said to have died from having physical contact with Mary (simple touching as happened with the Ark of the Covenant--the guy who put out his hand to keep it from falling when it looked like it would tip over).

Thanks for picking up the slack. Yet, I think the failure of Salvation's analogy is obvious, regardless of whether a simple query for scripture is asked for, or a more in-depth analysis is performed.
