I would imagine any sane person who was engaged to a 'virgin' and then found out she was pregnant would be pretty pissed.
Where was Maury Povich with the paternity test when you needed him?
"Joseph......you are.........NOT the father!"
"Yeah! Yeah! That's right! I knew it!"
(Mary runs off stage in tears.)

Mary became a perpetual Virgin. Joseph became older and would have been married till now, would have even had little ones till now marrying Mary. yet Mary became ever-Virgin, this became thoroughly regular by theologians on an identical time as much as and alongside with Luther and Calvin. the concept Mary and Joseph had little ones is an exceedingly new heresy. (interior the final 500 years)

I had just read a very good explanation for this "virgin birth" , and I apologize that I cannot quote the source right here, but it states that great liberties were taken in the translation from ancient texts(???) to more modern texts(Greek) regarding Mary's virginity. It seems that she was referred to by a word that means only "young girl" in the original telling of this story and the word was changed to "virgin" in latter translations. Think about it ...this needed to be a divine, immaculate birth to make the "son of God" a legitimate savior/messiah. Further, if you just gave birth to the "son of God" would you go further and have more kids, whats that all about???

Supposedly, according to the Bible, he was told in a dream that the baby was coming and was to be the son of God. He was only betrothed to Mary at the time so would not have been with her.
However, if my bird was knocked up and I hadn't been with her I may make up a story that she was carrying God's child to avoid ridicule down the pub. This strategy may not work tough. People would think I was a nutter.

if you want serious answer take a bible. Angel appeared in Joseph`s dream and told him about the child and how it is conceived by the power of Saint Spirit, so Joseph decided to protect child and Maria and to play his role in Jesus`s life as his father on earth

Joseph was going to divorce her quietly, rather than publicly which would have disgraced her, until the angel came to him and told him that the child was from God. That's why he stayed with her.

I am sure Joseph was worried but what was from the Holy Spirit he accepted.

At least he could have gotten out of child support pretty easy. But, he had some with her after that so, oh well, he was whipped.

You think that you are funny, and like all comedians you will be laughing your behind off while swimming around in the lake of fire for all eternity. repent, and come to Jesus before it is too late.
