It is not necessarily incorrect to say that Joseph and Mary were the parents of the Lord (Luke 2:41). However, it is wrong when God desires to point out that Joseph’s relationship to the Lord differs from Mary’s relationship to Him.

Mary was in error when she stated “thy father and I sought thee . . .” (Luke 2:49) - quite not the infallible woman that a certain Roman church teaches.

The 12-year old Jesus immediately corrects her (not the first time): “I must be in my Father’s house” - clearly Joseph is NOT Jesus’ father in the sense that Mary is His mother.

I do not have to hunt very hard for controversies that Dr. Westcott and Dr. Hort gladly provided.

You are supposing facts not in evidence.

LOL, really? So Mary forgot that Jesus' conception was miraculous, she was still a virgin at the time, and Joseph wasn't really his biological father?

Pull the other one.
