In Bible school I didn't know that spilling seed on the ground was about masturbation. The teachers never told us that. I always thought, Spilling seed on the ground, of course not. Somebody should beat you if you spill seed on the ground. Seed is precious. You plant seed carefully one seed at a time up and down the rows for corn and wheat and watermelon and pepper.

Now I know, except for people. For people you just splatter it all together. But not on the ground. She can lay on the ground but she has to be sure to catch the splatter, that's the way it works. But I don't know why it squirts so many times. Was that once for each goat?

Every world capitol has enormous and elaborately decorated temples, cathedrals, churches, and mosques. Every world capitol has enormous slums. Whew.

So basically, God is just another version, older version, of Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump.

The bible does not say she was fourteen. No mention of her age at all.

It is generally taught that Juliet, from Shakespear’s play was 14. Did you get the bible and a renaissance play mixed up?

Was your edication cancelled at 14?

How Old Was Mary When She Had Jesus?

https://www.crosswalk.com/faith/bible-study/how-old-was-mary-when-she-had-jesus.html

Historians place Mary’s age in the range of of 12 to 14 years old when she gave birth to Jesus. Mary was an adolescent, which in our culture today seems shockingly young to be a mother. However, in the culture that Mary lived in then, young motherhood was commonplace. Couples married and started families much earlier than they typically do today. So, Mary and the people in her life wouldn’t consider it unusual to embark on marriage and motherhood as a young teen.

My grandmother, born in Scranton,PA, in 1906, married at the age of 14. My grandfather was only slightly older. It was very common back then. And I'm not talking “Biblical back then”.

Jewish Customs: In ancient Jewish society, it was customary for girls to marry and start families soon after reaching puberty, which typically occurred around the age of 12 or 13. Therefore, it is plausible that Mary was in this age range when she became pregnant.

Historical Beliefs: Many biblical scholars and historians suggest that Mary was likely around 14 to 15 years old, as this was a common age for betrothal and marriage during that time period.
