Was Joseph going to Divorce Mary?
You guys do realize Joseph was going to DIVORCE Mary before they were ever married......
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph,(NOT MARRIED) before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
Then Joseph her husband, being a just [man], and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily (He was reminded that a man could divorce his wife for fornication and at this point he thought she commited fornication and was going to divorce and put her away, he would have been free to remarry then)
But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
Jospeh... don't divorce her... she has not commited fornication.... and he then agreed to consumate the marriage and marry his WIFE
