7 REASONS ROMAN CATHOLICISM IS DEADLY FALSE DOCTRINE - 10-26-24

And I don't hold strongly to your view either because the law of Moses prohibits that, and Mary and Joseph are not adulterers
Bill, if you are truly honest, our disagreement is not about, divorce and remarriage, or whatever you are meaning, our real disagreement, is about you saying that Mary had a union with God, which the way you are saying it, implies sexual.

So because of that union with God, Joseph would be committing adultery with Mary if he slept with her.

I do not believe that God had sexual relations with Mary, therefore Joseph sleeping with his wife, would not be sinful, would not be adultery, since she never slept with any, for she was a virgin, and still a virgin after she born Jesus, and only afterwards did she know him.

And also there is a difference between sex before marriage, which is sinful, and sex in marriage.

Sex itself does not make one married, otherwise sex before marriage should not exist.

Marriage is a commitment between two who are giving themselves over to one another, which yes, does lead to sexual relations.
 
I would not hold too strongly to that view, and personally believe that he did have children with Mary, and there is no proof that Joseph had another wife or was with another woman, but nevertheless, he sure did have sexual relations with Mary, which we have shown in another scripture that he knew his wife after Jesus was born.
When I mention the word nevertheless, in these statements, I was just laying aside the issue, to focus on that the scriptures shows Joseph knew his wife.
