"What happened to Joseph the father of Jesus"
Obviously, if you follow the thinking on some of the other threads, since there is nothing said about his death you have to assume he did not die and was just taken up into heaven. We may be on good grounds for thinking this since Matt. 1:19 says he was a just (righteous) man so he qualifies for going passed death and right into his eternal reward. We also have the dry run so he woudn't be suprised in Matt. 1:24 where the angel "raised him". All we need now is a date to celebrate "The Assumption of Joseph".

"The Assumption of Joseph". Now that's an unwarranted assumption...

Why make a nice topic into hunting season?
Joseph is a wonderful example of a faithful servant of God, a good husband, and a good father. The best one I know of.
