It would help if you studied the betrothal as carried out by the Jewish People at that time. They were betrothed which is the same as being married. The marriage had not been consummated, as Joseph had not KNOWN Mary. His options when he found her to be with child, were the same as we would have as being married by our laws and traditions. “Mat 1:24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: Mat 1:25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.” Since he knew her, she was no longer a Virgin. But that was some time after the Birth of Christ. Any reasonable study of the Bible, would tell you she had at least 4 sons and two daughters.
The Bible does not indicate in any way that his (Step)brothers and sisters were by another wife that Joseph may have had. By the way, the Kings, however many they were did not go to Bethlehem. They gave their gifts to Jesus in a house some time after he was born in Bethlehem. He also was not born in the dead of winter, but likely was born in late September or early October. You are following the tradition of the Catholic’s. They did control written history and Ruled most of the European nations for a long time.
I am not afraid of white people, brown people or black people. I am afraid of people who chose to use the color of our skin as something, that tells them something, about our character. It doesn’t and never has. Most of those people are using words to create divisions with-in ,the people. We the people are ONE! “E Pluribus Unum”
You deal with it. I like the Webster dictionary. It has all of the words and definitions I need. If I don’t like the latest I will just go back to the one I used in High School.
We don’t believe that in this Nation or did not. Did we all lose at one moment in time? We need to get back on the winning track, so we all, can win once more.
There seems to be a lot of us from the year 1941. That was a time when our fathers did not know how much more time they had. I guess they wanted to leave a legacy. I hope we did not disappoint them. They gave us a great example to follow.
