It’s nice to see someone counterattack rather than use reasoned defense. Chicago-style religion, right?

He didn’t divorce her. They were married. How you perceive that he would’ve been committing adultery is beyond me. She was married to Joseph, she was never betrothed to God. Being a faithful Jew, he would’ve wanted to keep one of the first commandments God gave, “be fruitful and multiply.”

Not surprising that you'd reach that conclusion. You're not unlike a failed community organizer who plays the race card when he knows he's losing the argument.

He didn’t divorce her.

He was prepared to divorce her, just as Scripture teaches, until he found out that she had conceived the Messiah.

"Whereupon Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing publicly to expose her, was minded to put her away privately." Matthew 1:19

How you perceive that he would’ve been committing adultery is beyond me.

Your lack of knowledge of the Oral Law of Kiddushin and Scripture; both Old and New Testaments, is quite obvious.

Being a faithful Jew, he would’ve wanted to keep one of the first commandments God gave, “be fruitful and multiply.”

Was not Moses also a faithful Jew when he became a celibate for the remainder of his life after receivng the written Word and leaving Mount Sinai?

Your problem is that you project your limited acumen upon others. Quite simply, you're in over your head on this topic and I'd venture most others you foolishly opine on.
