Sometimes the internet takes me down quite the rabbit holes. I found this particular video (not exactly current but who cares):
https://youtu.be/Oz378QPGLfc?t=101
At the timestamp, this "scholar" claims that the angel "asks" Mary if she would want to bear the Son of God, and it only happens because Mary says yes.
Read me Luke 1:26-38 (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+1:26-38&version=NIV) and tell me if this looks like the angel "asked" Mary. No, he told her it would happen.
So clearly this man is full of shit
Regardless of whether or not you are a Christian, you should at least understand my contention with his absolutely bogus statements about what happened in the Bible. This is supposed to support his premise that abortion is okay with God. Yes, the same God that tells his people not to commit murder is fine with abortion because liars like this want you to conform to the world rather than conform to God's teachings. Oh yeah, there is something in the Bible about that too: Romans 12:2
I see plenty of this sort of nonsense with those claiming that Christians should be onboard with whatever progressive-globohomo agenda item they want to force on everyone, often with torturing the interpretation of the Bible. But this is an example of straight up making up context that was never there, which is far worse as it is easy to demonstrate how it is an obvious lie.
Saw the same thing in a pro-gay presentation claiming Jesus "affirmed a gay couple." Wrong!
@houseoftolstoy Christianity is just the Religion of the weak that is why Catholicism is the Religion of the old ladies
