ML:>> Some people struggle with simple English when it does not say what they want.<<

CB:Now on that we can agree! Catholics exhibit that tendency frequently.

Yeah, like when Scripture says that Joseph did not know Mary until AFTER she gave birth, Catholics, who have been indoctrinated into believing the perpetual virginity of Mary, can't wrap their minds around the fact that Joseph had sex with her after Jesus' birth, like the Bible says.

Just because it's not worded as Catholics would like, they claim it doesn't mean what it says.

Course, they'd probably STILL argue with it if Matthew came right out and said, *And after Mary had Jesus, Joseph had sex with her and they had other children together.*

"Course, they'd probably STILL argue with it if Matthew came right out and said, *And after Mary had Jesus, Joseph had sex with her and they had other children together.*"

But the fact remains that Joseph did not and the linguist constructs of the time do not even suggest it. You are free to surmise whatever you like about the Holy Family, just don't expect Catholics to take you seriously, only to pity and pray for you in your error.

Peace be with you

Seems like having SEX with your spouse is somehow VERY close to SINNING!!!

He didn't and neither did she.
