<>None of that addresses if they had sex Irish..The bible says she was Josephs wife..I accept that ..what difference would it make?<>

In Jewish Law a man betrothed to a woman was considered legally married to her..The word for betrothed in Hebrew is Kiddush..By betrothal a woman became the property of the husband, forbidden to others..

Matthew1
The Birth of Jesus Christ

18This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit.

In Luke 1:35...
The angel Gabriel told Mary..."The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you..."

The angel was telling Mary that God would enter into a marital relationship with her..."wing" or "cloak" over a woman meant marital relations...

Ruth 3
9 He said, "Who are you?" And she answered, "I am Ruth your maid. So spread your covering over your maid, for you are a [1] close relative."

When God speaks to Israel..he says in
Isaiah 54
5 For your Maker is your husband-
the LORD Almighty is his name-
the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer;
he is called the God of all the earth.

Ezekiel 16
8 "Then I passed by you and saw you, and behold, you were at the time for love; so I (5) spread My skirt over you and covered your nakedness. I also (6) swore to you and (7) entered into a covenant with you so that you (8) became Mine," declares the Lord GOD.

Joseph knew from His dream God was Mary's husband...and he was forbidden all time..go back and look at the scripture I gave previous...Gen, Sam...adultery carried a sense of defilement...if a woman had known contact with another man she was no longer fit to be visited by her husband...In Jeremiah 3
1 God says, "(1) If a husband divorces his wife
And she goes from him
And belongs to another man,
Will he still return to her?
Will not that land be completely polluted?
But you (2) are a harlot with many lovers;"

Joseph knew from His dream God was Mary's husband.

There are some Mormons that believe that the Father has spiritual sex (of a sort) with Mary and she was therefore Gods eternal wife..and is married to him in heaven IS THAT WHAT YOU BELIEVE? Did God have sex with Mary?..Where does it say that she was "married to God"? Did Joseph make Mary commit bigomy when He married her?

Then Joseph being raised from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him and took unto him HIS WIFE: and KNEW HER NOT TILL she had brought forth her firstborn son; and she called his name Jesus.
