I know you're right about the "betrothal" in Jewish law. I've amended that part of the conversation.

Under Jewish law, therefore, she was already technically married even though she and Joseph had not come together yet. The completion of the marriage would be a second stage. This is why Joseph considered whether to put her away quietly, i.e. to divorce her. The Angel told Joseph not to be afraid to take Mary, his wife, into his home. ellennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568419039847692717.post-5401862134016351092016-12-13T15:02:05.198-05:002016-12-13T15:02:05.198-05:00Thanks Janet,

I mean, "Puff the Magic Dragon" was a glorification of weed and "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" a glorification of LSD. Is it wrong to enjoy those songs? I know the Arians spread their heresy with hymns, but we KNOW the Protestants don't have it right. Can we still enjoy what theyMary Ann Kreitzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18245237845099708478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568419039847692717.post-39398359010090181732016-12-13T14:48:38.212-05:002016-12-13T14:48:38.212-05:00Of course these differences of opinion in no way j...Of course these differences of opinion in no way justify any disrespectful treatment of you.Restore-DC-Catholicismhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17478857915379063106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568419039847692717.post-60023122147095953002016-12-13T14:29:39.936-05:002016-12-13T14:29:39.936-05:00An even bigger problem with the song is that line ...An even bigger problem with the song is that line (said to Mary)"He came to make you new.). That flies in the face of the dogma of the Immaculate conception. She didn't need to be made new of course. Protestants don't know that but we do. Can we give that a pass without doing disservice to the truth and to protestants themselves?Restore-DC-Catholicismhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17478857915379063106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568419039847692717.post-45608489979913460712016-12-12T23:19:33.049-05:002016-12-12T23:19:33.049-05:00I wasn't in a debate with evangelicals, Susan....I wasn't in a debate with evangelicals, Susan. I was in a debate with Catholics who couldn't stand that I like the song Mary, Did You Know. But I guess we have plenty of Catholics who act the same way. Actually the worst treatment I've ever had is from a sedevacantist Catholic who thinks I'm going to hell because I'm not Catholic enough. Of course, he is his own pope who had Mary Ann Kreitzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18245237845099708478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568419039847692717.post-79150749834609649782016-12-12T22:13:50.696-05:002016-12-12T22:13:50.696-05:00And of course we all know that the Catholic Church...And of course we all know that the Catholic Church contains all truth so ipso facto, in a "debate" with evangelicals, we win.

When I said I was leaving the blog – for good – they accused me of needing a “safe space”. They merely wanted someone to spar with much like a cat spars with and/or plays with a chipmunk batting it around and up in the air until it – the cat – pounces Susan Matthiesenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03507964871759902557noreply@blogger.com
