Naw. It was just a cousin, doncha know. After all, Joseph was told to not have sex with Mary until after Jesus was born. This clearly means that Joseph never had sex with Mary.
I mean, how else can you interpret it? ;-)
And here is a fun exercise: Look at every verse in the new testament where Jesus is talking specifically about his mother. What do you think his attitude is?
You're saying his attitude was something other than perfect obedience to the commandment "Honor thy father and thy mother"???
Look up every use of “until” in scripture. You might be surprised at how often it means, “forever.”
“Look at every verse in the new testament where Jesus is talking specifically about his mother. What do you think his attitude is?”
An attitude of utmost respect and love. This is Jesus, perfect, sinless and awesome loving God who gave use the command “Honor thy father and thy mother”. The problem is our modern ears, accustomed to rudeness and disrespect hear his words with our modern biases.
