Mary and Joseph were married, they had sex. Maybe even while she was pregnant with Jesus. Sex, is not a sin, it is as natural as a back rub, or a foot massage. Although putting a human being on a pedestal is, whether they are alive or dead. In the bible, when angels were portrayed as communicating with people, the people invariably fell to their knees. They were commanded to rise up, as they were not to be worshipped. We are commanded to bend a knee to God the father, and his son, no one else. When the Hebrews were caught worshipping the Golden Calf in the wilderness, they proclaimed, "this is just a representation of God to us". That is why people get worked up about this kind of post.

How sad that this lowly Catholic knows more about the Bible than you. From the original Bible of the Apostles, the KJV, Matt 1:25

And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.

Regardless of the definition of "till" you ascribe to, there is no way Joseph and Mary had sex while she was pregnant.

I don't think God would have appointed a 'just man' to protect His Son and mother, a man who could only think about sex.

I could not imagine such a thing as you have posted, knowing that my wife was carrying the Christ child. Not during or after or ever.

There are still many people today who have consecrated their virginity to God.

I believe what you posted was wicked and perverse. A shining example of the way our society has degraded to the point that it has.
