okay, no offense, but you make it sound like i don't know the story, but i understand since i didn't point out what i really mean. But just to make things clear, what you thought i meant, isn't what i was really trying to say. I didn't even say she cheated. you might want to reread what i wrote and think of the shallow side behind instead of analyzing all of it. I'm just trying to make things clear. Thank you
I´m sorry! you know the story (I was "highly concerned" on that.
) but, as you probably know, many ppl get engaged with someone pregnant, with someone in need... like those I was totally wrong.
You are well informed, sorry!
You didn´t say "she cheated." But, Joseph could have thought about it, painstakingly, because he probably loved her, that way, he prefered to run (and hide) while leaving her "alive" in the presence of those who would think, of Mary "she indulged herself... and Joseph fled alone".
What a predicament for both, Mary and Joseph.
I cannot guess what you tried to said but I have seen one of my brothers got a woman with her children. He paid her bills for 15 years. She endured him and those problems he had with alcohol and, the moment she thought best, she went away (having no children with my own brother)
My age, most of the ppl I would meet have children (like any Mary) and it´s highly recommended that any person who wants his /her own family
starts it without other´s children, their singleness and loneliness; since a man (or a waoma) is prone to give more attention his /her previous kids and, CC (by the way) has shown ppl seeking someone who pays their bills, instead of building a HOME, with no child.
I have seen (and lived out) the predicaments of building relatinships with previuos children. As a norm, a woman prefers those kids rather than a new mate and, for me, that´s obvoius; but I wasn´t writing to refute your thoughts, just to say that, I "probably" knew what it would be to be married (or living) with a person
whose life started with another person, not me.
My mom has several children. She had several "husbands" and I know it well because my dad grew with another dad who wasn´t his biological father and, as son, he lived what his brothers and sisters uttered behind those walls he was in: "He wasn´t a brother, but a half brother..."
What kind of life our Lord Jesus lived when His own brothers disbelieved what He said?
"He´s a nut!" "He is our half brother..." "OUR dad is NOT his dad..."
If a person wants to deal with things like that, he / she must be aware of unknown problem kids dealed in those areas, even in Christian homes and, I bet Mary and Joseph are best example of a "Christian home".
Joh 7:3
His brothers therefore said to Him, "Depart from here and go into Judea, so that Your disciples also may see the works that You do.
Joh 7:4 For no one does anything in secret while
he himself seeks to be known publicly. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world."
Joh 7:5
For not even His brothers believed in Him.
