You can counter it with fact if you have what it takes.

fattprince:

What fact? Let's even reason logically. According to the Bible Joseph never had any wife or children before having Mary betrothed to him. So he had to wait till he was 90 before marrying a 12 years old girl I mean doesn't that sound like he agreed with a man to marry his great grand daughter does that make sense? Okay again in the Bible we were told when Jesus grew up before he clock 12 that he started staying in the temple he learnt carpenter with Joseph. That means Joseph would already be 96-100 years then. Isn't he supposed to have retired for like 15 years then. Or how can an 100 year old man father children. Even as at then age expectancy should be more than 60. I can't believe I'm actually saying this.
And Isaac when he wanted to marry his father servant was the one that went in search of wife for him and he met Rebecca by a well where she has come to fetch water by herself. I can't believe a 3year old was left to go fetch water alone at a time nature was more brutal. Did she see those fact from the Quran ?because they definitely aren't in the Bible.

So you actually believed Joseph was 90 when he married Mary? And Isaac married Rebecca at 3? Fvck!! What the hell are they teaching you guys? Religion really makes people stupid. I just see that now

Capaldi:

The bible mentioned nothing of such nature at the bold. According to Catholic and some traditional history on Saint Joseph dating back to AD 180 , he was an old man and a widower with six children, two daughters and four sons, the youngest of whom was James before meeting Mary. Hence the bible mentioned Jesus having brothers and sisters.

Yikes. Never knew Empiree is female. All the years I battled her in religion section, she always came as male to me.

This is truly illuminating.

Here's Emp.iree referring to Christians as "infidels". https://www.nairaland.com/5723066/man-trying-tell-us-something/1#87319262

Where else do we see such references? Yes, broadcast videos of Al-Qaeda and Boko Haram.

No content whatsoever. When you add context it will make you understand better that you are typing without thinking. Every culture has its norms...just over a 100 or so years ago in Europe and US the legal age of marriage was 7-10. In Biblical times people were married at a very young age. Girls were usually betrothed before they reached puberty – majority of the time the marriage would have consummated when the girl reached puberty, and that was usually between the ages of 8, 9 or older. There was no law against a pre-pubescent girl being married off. For example in the bible, Isaac was 37 years old when Rebecca was born. When Rebecca was 3 years and one day old, she was married to Isaac. Mary was 12 years old when she married Joseph the Carpenter who was 90 years old. King David was 70 years old when he married Abishag who was 12 and a half years old. In 1396 at age 29, King Richard ii of England married 6 year old Isabella of Valois.King John married Isabella when she was 12 years old. Joan of France married King Louis Xii in 1476 at the age of 12. Back then it was legally allowed so why are you calling him a rapist and a pedophile when he committed no crime.

Absolutely no shot on target Broski.

Where are your facts to debunk what she said about Old men marrying minors in the Bible?

fattprince:

She's the one who's supposed to bring up Fact. Never seen all she wrote in the bible,
So let her bring up the facts where it was written that Joseph married Mary at age 90.

donstan18:

Correct

donstan18:

Is it now safe to say you don’t have any factual point to counter what she said?

fattprince:

Of course, what was I thinking?
Same history that said Jesus married Mary Magdalene the prostitute and had a girl whose bloodline is in Royal France. Or are we going to be selecting only the history that favours our narratives.

fattprince:

Yeah, none. Since we are going to jump out of the holy books and jump into conspiracy theories by historians. I don't know much about what historians write about Jesus, or Mohamed.

Roland17:


Baba, which Catholic teaching taught you or anyone that Joseph was old? No Catholic doctrine will teach you Joseph was old, except the ones written by other faiths/ denominations to ridicule the immaculate conception or Mary’s place in the life of Jesus? Based on what we know from the Bible and the Catholic faith, Mary had an immaculate conception and died a perpetual virgin. Which means she never bore another child after Jesus for any human and Ezekiel 44:2 alluded to this immaculate conception and perpetual virginity and Revelations 12 did the same.

In the original Greek writing the word used was “Adelphios” which means brother which is distinctively different from “sibling” which did not exist in Greek language, so the closest would have been “blood”. The Greek word “Adelphoi ka Adelphai” meaning “brothers and sisters” were typical words used amongst extended families and people who shared the same faith or even ethnicity, it did not imply they were members of the same nuclear family.

Joseph was a carpenter and every year as tradition required, they walked to Jerusalem for the feast of the Passover and the journey was 3 days long. I am supposed to believe that Joseph, a man whom according to you was 90 when he married Mary walked to Jerusalem from the time Jesus was born until he passed? Remember, the recorded version of the walk to Jerusalem was when Jesus was 12, that means Joseph would have been 112 years old, with Mary and Jesus..Abeg tell me another Cap

Let me state that while I am a Catholic Christian, I am by no means a fanatic when it comes to religion because I know very well that religion has been weaponized over the decades, so has the writing/ interpretation of the Bible. One last thing, I believe Joseph is the most underrated character/ personality in the Bible.
