Wait Oo...Mary, Mother Of Jesus And Wife Of Joseph Eventually Got Laid?


I was on my own sitting pretty and trying to acquire knowledge from the Holy Book (which has being my latest way of life) when I ran into this scripture;
Mathew 1:24-25(MSG Translation) "Then Joseph woke up. He did exactly what God's angel
commanded in the dream: He married Mary. But he didn't consummate the marriage until she had the baby, he named the baby Jesus.'' 

After I stormed this, I checked up other versions of the Bible and they corresponded. 

Quoting Mathew 1:24-25 of the New King James Version (NKJV), it reads, ''Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took his wife, and did not know her until she had brought forth her firstborn Son. And he called him Jesus. 

From the mini research that ensued after I stormed the passage, I was able to gather consummation in marriage isn't a sin and as a matter of fact was created by God in his own wisdom and He sees it as perfect. Therefore, Mary remained sinless amidst all. Majority of Christians opposed the notion saying that she remained a Virgin all through her lifetime, Martin Luther King supports the notion as well.

I went back again to thoroughly crosscheck the meaning of consummate just in case I mixed up the meaning, overwhelmingly, it means to make a marriage complete by engaging in first sexual intercourse.

Now the question is did Joseph remain celibate in the long lived marriage with Mary or did Mary retain her virginity which is upheld especially in the Catholic teaching? Mathew 1:24-25 is saying contrary and hmm, it gets interesting. 

I'll build up my research on the topic, solidify my thoughts, and in turn share with you. But until then, I'm still in utter shock.

*King Solomon warned me in the book of Ecclesiastes 1:18 that "too much learning would earn me too much trouble, and that the more I learn, the more I hurt." Now I understand.

Hmmm.... Have a nice day, that's all I can say right now.

    Interesting. I wonder why people think she remained a virgin all her life. She's popularly called 'Virgin Mary' because she conceived and as a virgin, which is against nature's law. If she didn't have sexual intercourse with her husband there was no point getting married in the first place. Konji for don kill Joseph.lol

UNEQUALLY YOKED

Who is the unequally yoked person? One who is unable to partner with you at a particular level. Failure to disassociate yourself from them will lead to sinking and eventual drowning. Anchor Scripture: { Proverbs 27:17 } "Iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.'' Ab initio, humans were not wired to live in isolation, they were wired to have companions who will help them in their daily lives. Everyone who accrues successes at different level was helped. Iron sharpens iron. Never been heard of that iron sharpen plastic or vice-versa, the iron will remain blunt and will be unable to operate at the realm it was designed to, while the plastic will be dissected into bitty parts. "Do not become partners with those who do not believe, for what fellowship does light have with darkness?"( 2 Corinthians 6:14- NET Bible ) This Biblical portion is one to ponder upon. Partnerships , Relationships , and Courtships are sensitive SHIPS that shouldn&#

Virtue Left Me...

Image
There are TWO times virtue leaves an individual. First, is when he is filled with the Holy Spirit (and his works are been manifested) but he falls into sin. Second, is when an individual is filled with the Holy Spirit but performs tons of miracle and is left exhausted. Let's term the former "lower virtue" and the latter " higher virtue." Both category of virtue need Prayer (intercessors/ intercessory) to be reinstated. Uninterestingly, the lower virtue takes a lot of time to be reinstated. However, the higher virtue can be reinstated with ease. Virtues are ethical behaviours showing high moral standards. Subscribing to sin leads to loss of the lower virtue, which send the sufferer into depression, stagnation, confusion, doubt, disbelief, trauma, sober moments, and all other negative psychological imbalance. Subscribing to holiness without introducing sin into the picture during workings of miracles reintroduces the sufferer/victim into the next level
