Ok, I'm new to Christianity, but isn't Jesus a bastard by definition?

Mary and Joseph were "engaged" and had already started the series of marriage rituals when Jesus was conceived. They already were calling each other husband & wife at this time (Matthew 1:19). Before Jesus was born, they had completed the marriage rituals. So to the rest of the world, No.

Not really...I believe the bible makes it clear that Joseph did take Mary as his wife before she gave birth...this would have made him legitimate in the eyes of the world no matter what the circumstances of his conception. Technically, a bastard is a child born outside of marriage.
Personally I have a huge problem with that term, especially when someone applies it to my son. The term "bastard" is judgmental in a way that isn't consistent with the love of God...while I might be guilty of a sin that created my son's earthly body, he is not guilty of anything nor does the facts of his parentage have anything to do with his personal value or worth. Jesus did not command us to judge people based on characteristics beyond their control...no matter what the circumstances of a person's birth, that person is a human being and should be evaluated solely on his or her own merits.

oh God yes, but not only was the J dog a bastard, Mary totally got knocked up by a black man. I feel bad for John though, he is in denial, how could he conceive that the Black Jesus is baby. He even tried to protect his wife who would have been stoned to death for adultry

Of course he was. The presence of God or Joseph was irrelevant because Mary was not married, and apparently a supernatural whore. Jesus gets a pass though, because he tricked everyone into thinking that he was a god, and because nobody really cares if people are a bastard.

in no way considered a Christian bless the crucifix, Catholics do i think of. And the go is a tragic reminder that Jesus died for us, yet in this unhappiness we get everlasting existence and the means to correctly known and seek for God now. So it has extra exhilaration concerning it then sorrow. Jesus did die yet now lives, and the exhilaration from what he completed over takes the unhappiness of his dying. Plus it reminds us we choose for Jesus. that's a reminder of what Jesus has completed. unhappy yet packed with desire as properly. bless you.

technically no
he would have been if mary had had committed adultery and had him....
his conception is a miraculous one..so he is outside the defintion set by society.
his father was god..and there was a spiritual union of mary with god....in the same way the church is now said to be the bride of christ....
