“I am the Lord’s servant. May it be done to me according to your word”, which to me i hear words like “servant” and “to your word” and i think this person thinks their word is lower than the other person due to power imbalance etc, and im pretty sure The Gospel of Matthew doesnt mention Mary’s consent. Or maybe even asking her for it, im not sure.
“Not really forced, but defs not consensual” goalpost is still there mate, and nice try ignoring my reply. Look, i dont actually care. This was an off the cuff comment that i didnt really wanna defend but i took the bait. I wanna go home.

So we’ve gone from “forced impregnation” to “enthusiastic verbal consent with power imbalance.” I’m happy with where the goalposts are now.
