But, that's not what I was asking. I wasn't asking about the law -- which OT laws we should obey, which ones we can ignore, etc. I asked about your post saying that Jesus is our example in all things. Is Jesus, even in the OT, our example in all things? I don't see an OT example for Joseph to follow in deciding to disobey that law. How did he know it was better to show mercy on Mary than have her killed?

Timmy, you are not answering this. Of course this IS about Jesus. My question concerns His birth. This came from His OT plan. Look again. You need to look up what the Law and the Law Giver--Jesus--said about the Law. Look again, Timmy.
