Actually, the angel DID tell Joseph what to do and that was to take Mary *AS HIS WIFE*.
That comes with certain responsibilities and privileges.
So he did and knew her not until AFTER she gave birth.
Honestly, I don't know how much clearer it can be stated short of saying, *After Jesus was born, they had sex* and even then they'd argue it.
Yes, and there are probably certain people among us, who will remain unnamed, who would then argue, that even if Mary and Joseph did the "evil deed," God would be angry, if they enjoyed it.
I can just imagine Joseph asking, "Mary, are you awake?"
😆😃😇🌝😀
