Someone asked what would have happened if Jesus was born a girl.

Now that's an interesting question. A woman going around preaching and doing miracles!

She would have grown up illiterate though. I doubt if she could have debated with the wise men in the Temple as a young girl, as Jesus did. She would not have had the opportunity to study the scriptures.

The Pharisees would probably have objected to her, but some of the goddess-worshipping sects of the time would no doubt have been delighted. "The Daughter of Isis" or Cybele If she was a virgin, Diana (Artemis)or Minerva (Athene) in the Roman world, or if she wasn't a virgin, Venus (Aphrodite). Maybe she would have ended up a temple prostitute-priestess somewhere.

I don't think the Romans crucified women. The Jews would probably have stoned her without involving Pilate.
