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.
Dear Brother, here is something for you to think about...
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.
What you just wrote makes no sense
Joseph loved Mary and had faith to believe what the angel told him.
What makes you think you can,t have love without sex in a marriage anyway?
Good night Brother.I,m out on business til late tomorrow.Perhaps Dear livius can shed more light on this
Is it permissible under the law for Jesus, the Second Person of the Trinity, to heal on the Sabbath? Is it permissible under the law for Jesus to say, "I AM."
FRiend, why won't you allow God to be God? How can one commit adultery when God's Will is involved and when He sent angels to both Mary and Joseph to express His Divine Will and both those asked consented to it?
Mary conceived by "the power of the Holy Spirit." The Mystery of the Incarnation rumbles through the mind's of theologians to this day. God took on human form: He was a Divine Person with both Divine and human natures which John so beautifully describes. Why not let it go since it is a Mystery we cannot possibly fathom! "Verbum caro factum est et habitavit in nobis!"
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.

Sorry, but this kind of begs for the following . . .
Now Fru, you can’t go expecting such things to be logical—especially at the spiritual serf level. We just have to take things from the magicsterical ON FAITH—whether they make sense, or not! Harumph!
[IOW, excellent points.]
