To me Mary is a woman to look up to in the bible. Most every other strong person in the bible (besides miss magdelane) was a man. This gives the modern woman or even the old days woman someone to look up to as an example of how god would like us to be as a mother, wife, and role model in society. I don't know if the story of the virgin birth is real or not. I really don't care. I do believe that she gave birth to the man that was closer to god than any other human who walked this earth. How he cameto be is not a concern to me. The use of the word "virgin" infers moral cleanliness and good character to her. I am sure Jesus was not her only child. It is a story of how a WOMAN not a MAN brought forth a man that would forever change history. Gods way of showing us that behind every good man is a strong woman.
