I think #1 is perhaps the least looked at by Protestants.
They think that Mary did not know how babies were brought into the world.
Gabriel tells Mary she would conceive a son.
Within the confines of their marriage, any 1st century Jewish woman would’ve have understood what is meant by this. The Lord will give me a child.
Notice how Zecharia responds with an understanding that the way in which the Lord will give them John is through natural conception
“How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in years.”
But Mary upon hearing the message responds: “how can this be since I know not man?”
She wasn’t beyond child bearing years.
She knew that she could conceive with Joseph (legally they were allowed to).
Instead she very unusually says she knows not man. (Literally: since a man not I know?)
Many Protestant say: “she’s just saying she’s a virgin now”
But that doesn’t make sense since Mary would know it is after not being a virgin that she would conceive.
Why respond this way if she knew that she could conceive of this son via consummation with Joseph just like Zacheria and Elizabeth would know John would come via natural relations?
It’s because her permenant state was virginity.
She knew this, hence the question which can be read in light of this: “How can this be since I vowed to be a virgin my whole life”
Then the Angel explains to her how it would happen. Namely, the Holy Spirit would come upon her and she would conceive via the Hoy Spirit.
@Crestfallen1996 Unless I had an incorrect DOL, of course the RR will be shitty, but as long as I could catch about 3 of them every week, I was happy, then optimized from there.
@Crestfallen1996 @AsuraSan9 @m4lovs@Romeotpt I'm not sure of your experience, but afaik you should have some ICT experience enough to understand narrative before you watch his videos or most of the stuff will go above your head as he only teaches a trading model.
@Crestfallen1996 @AsuraSan9 @m4lovs@Romeotpt After studying the materials I would:
1. Train the eyes by backtesting
2. Get some experience by tape reading
3. Get some confidence by trading a small account.
