I know you said you were kidding, but…. By Obamaesk I assume that you mean to insinuate that I am a liberal. I assure you I am not. Nor is defending a pregnant woman a liberal position to take. May I remind you that Mr. Obama, Planned Parenthood, NOW, Naral and now sadly the girl scouts make it their mission to convince women to murder their children through various torturous means. Now, do not take that to mean that I am in favor of single motherhood, it is a scourge on our society. However being pro-life entails supporting a woman who is pregnant even if she was unmarried when she became so. Otherwise you are a hypocrite ( note in the situation presented in the article the church is not condemning her pregnancy but rather her unwillingness to marry)
After all who is sinless?

The fact that Christ’s mother Mary was unmarried at the time she conceived makes her choice to bear God’s son intensely more beautiful. Mary knew full well what happened to pregnant women who were unmarried but trusted God enough to know that He would care for her.

If you study Jewish weddings, She was a wife when she agreed to marry Joesph. The deal is made, the dowry paid, wine is drunk, and a paper signed. She was considered married even though the wedding wasn't consummated.

This is why I keep harping to anyone that listens, that to be a Christian, you should desire to learn about our Lord and Savior because he is a Jew and we are not. It explains so much in the Bible that Christians just don't understand. By being Christian, you have agreed to marry Christ and have taken His name. The wedding will happen at the Rapture, but we are betrothed to Him right now. If you were to follow idols now, you have committed adultery to Christ. You belong to Him and Him alone. There are many that even deny the Rapture will happen. How else will we go to the Bridegroom to have the wedding feast spoken of in the Bible? It is all explained if you understand a Jewish wedding Feast.
