Really? So if we go by “Sola Scriptura”, if it isn’t in the Bible it isn’t. Right? Mary and Joseph never married. Right?
Do you really want to go there?
Of course they were married. God told him to do it and Matthew clearly records that Joseph obeyed Him.
Matthew 1:18-25 18Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. 19And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly. 20But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins." 22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet:
23 "Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel" (which means, God with us).
24When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife, 25but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And he called his name Jesus.
It doesn't get much simpler than that.
God told Joseph to marry Mary. He did it. He waited to consummate the marriage until after the birth of Jesus.
Or do you suppose they lived together in a platonic relationship without getting married, letting everybody think that Joseph was the father of Jesus, thus leading everyone to believe that they were in an illicit relationship?
What are you talking about? Noone ever said the Bible contains ever single fact about God and the universe. The Bible alone is all that is needed, however, for knowledge about salvation.
You really are showing your ignorance on this thread....first not knowing the scriptures declared Mary was engaged at the time of Christ’s birth; then distorting the meaning of sola scriptura.
Fail.
Nice canard, though. That's not what's meant by Sola Scriptura. Sola Scriptura is the statement that scripture is infallible and inerrant; that scripture contains all of the information necessary to understand salvation... Nice try to warp the definition, though.
