According to the scripture, they were married but hadn't had sex. That was all before being visited by angels. You don't find that odd?

You too are missing the point.

That ancient Jews got married but didn't have sex.

Never mind me. Follow @Truly He knows it all.

My bad. I now realize that your understanding is complete and infallible. I'll be quiet going forward and learn everything about God from you.

You're missing my point.

Because Joseph was planning to part ways with Mary after learning that she was pregnant, according to the scripture. An angel came to him in his sleep and apprised him of the situation and the rest is history.

If Revelation and other verses are referring to some cataclysmic event in OUR future, doesnt it seem odd that there is no prophecy of the Holocaust to go with it?

Agreed. I would include friendly, social, low-stakes, poker games and wagers on sporting events. Everything in moderation.

I help those whom I find that need it. Have I given all? No.

They didn't have sex after they were married and BEFORE Jesus was born. That seems odd to me. I was only curious if anyone had any insight into why they abstained AFTER marriage even though they had NOT yet (presumably) been visited by angels.

So true.

I have been trying to start my days with an ambition to produce good fruit. At the end of my day I reflect on if all of my fruit was good or otherwise. Sadly, I remain in sin and seldom produce entirely good fruit in a day.

Some are very gifted by our Father but faithfully live and behave very humbly. I admire such humility. Matthew 18:4 English Standard Version 4 Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

Sorry brother but I don't believe that we should be proud of ourselves. All praise, thanks, and glory goes to our Father, not us.

Thank you for your perspective my brother.

My brother I believe that you are misunderstanding.

A very unfruitful response.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding but it is my understanding that they were married and then abstained from sex. Sometime thereafter angels appeared to both Mary and then Joseph to share with them the good news. Why didn't they have sex AFTER they were married and BEFORE they were visited by angels?
