text: a question for christians....i saw an article about the actress portraying mary in the nativity movie..? the article was comparing the actress to mary. the 16-year old actress, according to the article, is expecting a baby w/ her boyfriend. the article was talking about how the actress' life is similar to mary's- they were both pregnant out of wedlock at a young age, joseph was a carpenter, the actress' boyfriend is a carpenter. now, before anyone accuses me of judging, that's not what i'm doing. but, it kind of bugged me that they were doing that. it seemed to me like it was lessening the importance of jesus' birth. you can't compare a teenager getting pregnant to the divine conception of jesus christ. maybe it's just me.... i'd like other christian's viewpoints on this. thanks!! i read that article only a few minutes ago and thought the exact same thing. they are comparing the two and they have nothing to do with eachother. unlike the actress, mary did not get pregnant because she slept with her boyfriend. i think that article will lead people astray and lead them away from the real gospel. that is what satan wants...distortion of the truth. the movie, however, looks like a pretty good movie. when i see it though, i may be bugged the whole time thinking about that article. god bless you!  p.s. i am in no way judging the actress here. i'm proud of her for choosing life for her child. i'm only commenting between the comparison between herself and mary that the media has made.
