Yes, MM. Joseph and Mary had a bunch of other kids. Since I doubt the stork brought their children, I would assume Mary got pregnant, the old fashioned way. They did the evil deed (sexual intercourse) Imagine that, Joseph and Mary had a normal husband/wife sexual life. What a novel concept.

MM, how dare you use scripture to back up your position. 😀 Oops, poor choice for a word on my part, considering the subject I am talking about. 😀😆 Would I be correct in assuming, that the other apostles were married men, and had, God forbid, normal relationships with their wives? Oh, the horrors of it all, that most of the apostles were married men, contrary to the popular beliefs of some unnamed religion.
