Right, not to worry. I think that explains how Jesus could have sisters and brothers, but Mary remained a virgin. With the Big Fella in charge, anything is possible.
Honestly, though, have you ever heard such horseshit in your life? Who did they think they were kidding? Both husband and wife have a legal RELIGIOUS right to regular sexual intercourse in Jewish marriages. I think once a week is minimum, and if either party requests it, the other should comply, although poor health is an excuse. My understanding is that the Sabbath is traditional for the once-a-weekers, but I might be wrong there. Makes sense, no work that day, you're rested up, in a good mood.
If God didn't want the mother of Jesus to have sex, he wouldn't have had Him born to a woman who was already engaged to be married, IMO. |
