Well please take some time and explain how each one of those scriptures address if Mary was an obedient wife to Joseph or did she deny him his rights as her husband and thus sin...

I am on my way out but I would like it if you addressed the issue of why the bible says UNTILL her son was born ,and why it calls Jesus her firstborn son..

Irish my faith is in Jesus Christ ..It means nothing to me if Mary and Joseph had sex or other children...I find this of interest in that Catholics feel the need to make Mary a godess..and this is a part of it

Is sex dirty? Is it a sin between a loving man and his wife? Did Mary love Joseph? Did Joseph love Mary?

Jesus is her firstborn son because that is important if you are a Jew. The firstborn son must be taken to the Temple et cetera even if there are no more children.

The real point is that no one in the subapostolic era or the centuries following support your personal opinions of Scripture with regard to St. Joseph or Mary, the Virgin Mother of God. Perhaps you wish to claim you have received a revelation like Joseph Smith?
