Tell your daughter they didn't decide to have a baby -- Mary was informed that she would soon be pregnant - there was no decision in it for her.

Mary conceived spiritually w/o sex so it is not the same situation that exists between men and women.

Mary was already married to Joseph.

The problem is that God did not just decide to have a baby, God was also the baby at the same time, God didn't need a wife, he needed some one in which to bring about His son into the world which in Genesis was the prophecy that the seed to redeem mankind would come through the woman. Joseph and Mary were married shortly after the announcement of mary's pregnancy, so the model is still there but the formation of Jesus in itself was a miracle.

Tel her the biblical truth. It was Mary and Joseph who were married. God does not have a wife. Though she had been betrothed, Mary was a virgin. And God chose her to show the world his glory. So he supernaturally conceived his only begotten Son in her womb.

Now if that sounds a bit difficult for a five-year old to understand then that is likely because it is. So just leave your explanantion as you have shared it here and revisit the matter again in a few years when she can better understand it.

Just tell her for now that Mary was not God's wife. Her husband was Joseph. And God gave Mary a child in a very unusual way to show the world how great he is.

Well first off you all are a little confused! Joseph and Mary had the baby Jesus! They didn't even have sex so there was really no need to be married if they wasn't at the time! No where in the bible does it say that God and Mary had a baby together. She was chosen to carry the baby Jesus!

Jesus is a b-a-s-t-a-r-d ---- fact. Joseph tried to put mary away (yes its in the bible!!!). Some other bugger knocked her up out of wedlock. God should have done the right thing by her.,

Maybe the whole new testament was made up so she could wriggle out of being labelled an adulterous whore......

and oh yeah, pat that 5 year old on the back, she probably just asked you more questions there than any christian asks in a lifetime of belief.....

Tell her that Mary was married to God, all Christians are married to God..

Jesus never existed he was stolen from Horus of Egypt, who born of a virgin, was crucified and rose again, had 12 disciples, gave a sermon on the mount raised people from the dead was baptised by Anup the Baptiser.etc

The following articles provide proof that everything in the Christian religion and in the bible has been STOLEN from other religions that predated it from all around the world. Christianity is a tool for removing spiritual/occult knowledge from the populace so this power can be kept in the hands of a few to manipulate and enslave the masses.

To really understand the Bible and see the truth, one must be very well educated in the occult. The mass mind is very powerful. When one studies long enough and acquires advanced knowledge of the occult, the truth is utterly shocking. The entire Judeo/Christian Bible is a hoax of catastrophic proportions with a very clear objective using subliminal means and the channeled psychic energy of believers.

Perhaps this is a good time to explain about santa and the tooth fairy as well.

Your question also raises the question of mutual consent, did Mary consent to god impregnating her without the fun part?

Technically, God broke his own covenant there by committing adultery with Mary despite being engaged to Joseph

There is also fornication there

Ironic how he stated earlier in the Bible not to commit Adultery

Poor Girl. Islam is boiling in her soul. Her instincts tell her something is wrong with this religion and that it makes no sense.......

Learn the Qur'an and teach it to your daughter. CHAPTER MARY VERSES 16-37

And mention, [O Muhammad], in the Book [the story of] Mary, when she withdrew from her family to a place toward the east.

And she took, in seclusion from them, a screen. Then We sent to her Our Angel, and he represented himself to her as a well-proportioned man.

She said, "Indeed, I seek refuge in the Most Merciful from you, [so leave me], if you should be fearing of Allah ."

He said, "I am only the messenger of your Lord to give you [news of] a pure boy."

She said, "How can I have a boy while no man has touched me and I have not been unchaste?"

He said, "Thus [it will be]; your Lord says, 'It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign to the people and a mercy from Us. And it is a matter [already] decreed.' "

So she conceived him, and she withdrew with him to a remote place.

But he called her from below her, "Do not grieve; your Lord has provided beneath you a stream.

And shake toward you the trunk of the palm tree; it will drop upon you ripe, fresh dates.

So eat and drink and be contented. And if you see from among humanity anyone, say, 'Indeed, I have vowed to the Most Merciful abstention, so I will not speak today to [any] man.' "

Then she brought him to her people, carrying him. They said, "O Mary, you have certainly done a thing unprecedented.

O sister of Aaron, your father was not a man of evil, nor was your mother unchaste."

So she pointed to him. They said, "How can we speak to one who is in the cradle a child?"

[Jesus] said, "Indeed, I am the servant of Allah . He has given me the Scripture and made me a prophet.

And He has made me blessed wherever I am and has enjoined upon me prayer and zakah as long as I remain alive

And [made me] dutiful to my mother, and He has not made me a wretched tyrant.

And peace is on me the day I was born and the day I will die and the day I am raised alive."

That is Jesus, the son of Mary - the word of truth about which they are in dispute.

It is not [befitting] for Allah to take a son; exalted is He! When He decrees an affair, He only says to it, "Be," and it is.

[Jesus said], "And indeed, Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path."

Then the factions differed [concerning Jesus] from among them, so woe to those who disbelieved - from the scene of a tremendous Day.
