Joseph is God, and Mary is Israel, together they gave birth to Jesus.

You don't understand? Then seek to understand. Joseph is the house of David, the house of perpetual rulership over Israel by God's eternal decree. Mary is Israel, or the people.

Jesus is the son of of David, his mother is Eve/Israel/Mary

Assuming I get Joseph number I for call am to ask am.....

I suspect so. And fairly advanced in age too. He was dead by the time Jesus started preaching. We should ask ourselves, if Jesus had brothers, why not leave his mother with them, instead telling John to take care of her just before he died? They must have been step brothers.

There is some nice parallels here but d way u put it make it sound wierd. joseph is a real human being so also mary.
they can also be seen as figures of representatives of other things like d mary, eve, isreal parallel, but they are real people.

There is no outright biblical support for it and frankly i dont know but it isnt outside the realm of posibility.

Those names represent a number of people operating under single names. Like calling Lagos state Bayo, and Anambra state Emeka, and Sokoto state Aliyu and saying they all live in a town with broken infrastructure (Nigeria) and non of them is willing to fix it.

If i tell you, you go gree? It's not in the bible.

That is blasphemy. Repent and believe the gospel!

Where His brothers believers at the time He handed His mother over to John? I believe it shows that Jesus trusts believers as sees them as His family, i.e. brother, sister or mother. And why would you suspect that Joseph had married before Mary?

He died way before Christ preached. He must have been old enough. I mean, for Jesus to let him die.

Muafrika2:

But Jesus allowed John the baptist die and was not old.

OLAADEGBU:

His job was done.

Joseph left Mary with no one to care of. She must have lived with Jesus since then.

MrPresident1:


Joseph is God, and Mary is Israel, together they gave birth to Jesus.

Allegoricaly speaking?

But he Jesus doesn't have Joseph's DNA? I don't think he fits the allegory.

Muafrika2:

It could also be that Joseph's work was done and he was allowed to die, no?

OLAADEGBU:

Exactly.

And he had other children too, I think one was called James.

YES JOSEPH WAS MARRIED BEFORE HE WAS BETROTHED TO MARY;
Joseph had married and had children but the wife died then He made up his mind not to remarry.
In those days in Judaism they are called Holy Widowers
Young girls who made a choice not to marry throughout their lives are placed in their care to guide and nurture WITH A CONFIDENCE THAT BOTH PARTY WILL NEVER HAVE CONSENSUAL INTERCOURSE SINCE THEY HAVE MADE SUCH VOWS BEFORE GOD IN THE TEMPLE.
That was why;Virgin Mary asked this question "How can I conceive when I know not man..." {Lk.1:34} after she had been given to MARRIAGE TO JOSEPH "To a virgin ESPOUSED to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary" {Lk.1:27}
this question gives a simple view of Virgin Mary and Joseph not having THE INTENTION TO ENGAGE IN CONSENSUAL INTERCOURSE EVEN in this type of MARRIAGE. for more clarification go to the website "Catholic and Answer" or check the book proto-evangelium for more clarification

How you take know?

E no concern you, shebi e no de bible, leave am na

OLAADEGBU:


That is blasphemy. Repent and believe the gospel!

Joseph is symbolically the line of David, and Mary is symbolically Israel; Mary is the woman whose offspring will bruise the serpent on its head.

Joseph and Mary are Adam and Eve
Joseph and Mary are God and Israel

Up you Bible game babes!

Jesus was of the seed of David; Jesus Christ was fully man and fully God while he dwelled here on earth, I have explained this before but I will re explain.

Jesus is the Word of God
Christ means Anointed

Jesus Christ means Men anointed with the Word of God. And the Word is God...So when Jesus was here on earth he was anointed with the Word of God, the Word of God was his personal software, it was his personal code, the Word of God was the Grundnorm of the men called Christ. These men obeyed anything as long as it was written in the Bible, they obeyed God completely. As long as it is in the Bible, they believed. You know when the Word was first given to Moses, it was written on tables of stone, but Jesus Christ was the first man to have the law written in his heart, and this is what will happen to all of us eventually, the Law/Word of God will be written in our hearts Jeremiah 31:33 and we will all become like Jesus because Bible says we shall be changed to be like him.

The Word of God in Christ mad him God while he was here on earth, and at the same time since he had this fleshly body, he was also fully man. It was all written in allegories. The source of Jesus as fully man was through the seed of David as it is written

Romans 1:3
Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;

I hope you understand, I will be expecting your questions if any
