Dear Brother,here is something for you to think about...

The Holy Spirit is Mary,s spouse and St. Joseph knew it when he was informed by the Angel in a dream (Matthew 1:20). Would any sane man be so vain as to father mere human children with her? The idea of the spouse of the Holy Spirit becoming a mother to one not by the Holy Spirit, would have been repulsive, and would have had all the ingredients of sacrilege to him.

I,ll try and get to the typology of this towards weeks end

I wish you a most Blessed Day.

Not my construction on reality.

Doesn’t fit the evidence, imho.

Doesn’t fit the culture.

Doesn’t fit God’s statements about marriage.

Doesn’t fit God’s priorities re the marriage bed.

Your description of reality fits much more our current culture of single parent mothers.

God has used many of us . . . and thereby our bodies . . . in numerous ways. He used Mary’s body and home in a unique way.

Doesn’t mean God abandoned and trashed His other priorities for marriage—including Joseph’s and Mary’s marriage.

Doesn’t sound like God.

Doesn’t track like God.

Doesn’t play like God.

Isn’t consistent with God’s priorities for marriage. Just isn’t.

For God to have made such an outrageously inconsistent exception for Joseph’s and Mary’s marriage, I’d have thought a whole book of the New Testament would have been devoted to it—AT LEAST A CHAPTER.

Ridiculous.

BTW, I do much appreciate your tone.

I just don’t have an enormous amount of patience on this dogma. It jangles my spirit on so many levels. I find it an offensive affront to Christ as well as to common sense and to Scriptures. That’s just my construction on reality. Not trying to offend you. But throwing a thread like this in my face will often get a forceful response.

If the Holy Spirit was indeed "Mary's spouse," then both Mary and Joseph were guilty of adultery by their subsequent marriage. Would not the idea of the spouse of the Holy Spirit becoming wed to another have been repulsive and have all the ingredients of sacrilege to Him?

My point is you might want to rethink your rationale there, friend.
