I really like this group and appreciate all of your feedback, ty! So here I go again. Thou shall not commit adultery. God comes down and gets Mary knocked up,breaking his own rule again. Joseph was ok with that? No man in their right mind would put up with that!
Nice story. I belive in the easter bunney also.
Apparently it is theological doctrine that if god shags you it is not adultery or premarital sex and as Joseph was Mary's cousin anyway, it was his duty to protect the whole family from shame.
It's all imaginary bollocks anyway but a good apologist can usually do enough mental gymnastics to twaddle their way out of anything and the churches are willing to pay a fortune for them to do it.
Now that we know how the Bible was actually constructed and by whom, and the political motives behind it.....does anything surprise you?
