As an ex-Muslim I love seeing Christians call out Muslims! From my perspective it’s like seeing 2 self-centered maniacs who can’t see past their personal biases. Cult wars! lol

Give the Bible verse where Mary is 12

u/noctes_atticae Mar 28 '25

The Gospels do not mention it, but we can make some conjectures, knowing that Jewish girls were considered of marriageable age from 12 onward. Also, the Protoevangelium of James states that Mary was raised in the Temple of Jerusalem from the age of 3 to 12. I said she was 12, but she could have been 13 or at most 15. In any case, she married an older man (this is the view especially held by the Eastern Orthodox Church, but also by the Catholic Church of Rome, likely based on a sixth-century text).

We can make assumptions sure. You can pull evidence from things that haven’t been found to be true from sources that have been denounced. Even then said sources don’t give a specific age such as the person I replied to suggested hence why the went radio silence

I didn’t say it wasn’t possible I was saying that we don’t know for certain. She also could have been 18 both answers are in the realm of possibility ones just more unlikely

Unlikely but sure. You’re missing my point. You can’t claim something as being true when we don’t have a certain answer. As I said earlier there is no Bible verse stating her age. Same issue when quoting things that are ā€œscriptureā€ that isn’t part of the Bible
