The angel said to name him Jesus, and that they would call him Immanuel, which means "God with us." I think that means that the angel was telling him that his son would be worshiped by the people.

The angle was reminding Joseph of a prophecy which said there would be a virgin birth and the people would call that son "God with us"; not that should be his literal name.

Apparently people can't even agree whether or not Mary and Joseph were already married when he found out she was pregnant.

I have the Book of Genesis comic version by Robert Crumb and it is by far the weirdest book I own.

I guess Catholics believe that Mary took a vow of virginity and stayed a virgin her whole life even though the Bible says that Jesus had brothers and sisters whose mother was Mary. So the Pope was like, "No that was a different Mary." What?

I have never heard of any kind of a vow. Catholics do (unnecessarily) believe Jesus had no brothers and sisters despite James being identified as "the brother of Jesus." Of course, calling a follower of Jesus a brother does not necessarily suggest a blood relationship. I've also heard the same word could be translated into something like nephew or cousin but have no idea if that's true.

I swear, this thread is turning into big time #fakenews.

There is a ton of stuff in the Bible that looks fake newsy

The "proof" of her vow was that when the angel told her she was going to have a baby she asked how this could happen. If she had planned to have sex with Joseph (since they were married), she wouldn't have had to ask how she could get pregnant.

Dugout DickStone · « **Reply #414 on:** January 19, 2017, 11:12:33 AM »

So he married her but she had told him no sex?

Right. This leads to even more confusion because now they haven't consummated their marriage. So even though the Bible says they were "betrothed" when she got pregnant; it is not clear whether that means married or engaged. The Hebrew word for betrothed basically means married but before consummation.

So if a couple gets married and then goes to their wedding reception, they are said to be betrothed. But you wouldn't only consider them engaged at that point.

I bet they did at least hand stuff

Joe really got screwed in this deal, imo

Not really. He was just a simple man (Deftones version) of no great feat and his name will live on forever. Immortality.

I don't think he signed up for a life of celibacy, though.

I don't think so either. I'm sure they boned a lot or he raped her a lot. Whatever was permissible at that time.
