Logic means avoiding the fact that the Bible says Mary and Joseph had sex?
Now to you your joining of the bodiees is called sex, those who do not live under the law, but under grace have a beautiful bond!
You must have been born in the 70's after which has lessen the concept of the marrriage bed
Children of God don't have sex the world has sex but the children of God have another ingriedent to their relationship LOVE!
coarse people have sex!
when you think of it some of these scripture are baren you think people in those day did not procreate but just had sex!
Jesus words always convey a form of Love when he speaks the brethern also carry that over in the message, the narrator when describing events sets up this distance and the reader is not picking up on it!
Some one was gapping the breaks so it made sence to the reader!
Just like the OT there are places that seems to be giving a over view because either there were gaps are adjustments to the events?
Unless a prophet of God was bridging the gap under the influence of the Holy Spirit, but it does not seem like that always and is why so many are disputing over verses and passages for there are contradictions!
Which can come from
1- the subject spoken to, is already aware of the background or detail and therefore need not be instructed again.
2- missing or gaps in the manuscript
3- or who ever was in power at the time these documents was being to conform to the political powers to be!
We are lucky for what has survived, but please don't think man never ever tampered with them!
Even King Henry VIII broke from the Catholic Church because he wanted a divorce...
The adoption of Protestantism, however, was a political rather than a religious move. King Henry VIII had originally married Catherine of Aragon; since she had been previously married to his brother, though, Henry had to get special papal dispensation for the marriage. Marrying the wife of one's brother was incest; it was almost equivalent to marrying one's sister.
The marriage, however, produced no male children to occupy the throne at Henry's death. Henry began to doubt both of the marriage and the spiritual validity of the marriage. In the mid-1520's, he met and fell in love with Ann Boleyn, a lady in waiting to Catherine. He wished to annul his marriage to Catherine and marry Ann; not only did he love Ann, he feared leaving the throne of England without a male heir.
The WORD always was a thorne to the powers to me and the struggle to hold on to them was not always easy!
IMHO
I bring these issues up because they are real and man has free will even if you are one that don't believe in free will, man still did not like his conscience pricked, and if he could make it go away among his subjects or peers so be it!
I am one who beleives after the birth of Jesus, that Mary and Joseph had a normal marriage!
does that not distrub you that this gap exist what happen afterwards someone had that knowledge.
During the find of the Dead Sea Sroll era there were other finds which indicate and they know there are more writtings to the New Testament!
