So how old do you chaps reckon Mary was when she hooked up with Joseph?

Early teens as would be the custom back then.

Yep.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

But Joseph was not the father of Jesus.

Is that so.

 

[Avenger]

Exactly.

 

[emjaycee]

Is that so.

Typically in Jewish tradition girls would be married around 12-14 and boys at around 15-17 years old.
This was typical in indigenous cultures as well, due to the need to procreate and have many children was crucial to the survival of the 'tribe' given the younger mortality rates.

 

[Avenger]

By the way, Jesus Christ is not imaginary. Even the most ignorant lefty
with half a brain will admit he walked the earth. It's the resurrection which is where it's at. And I truly believe that he was resurrected and is the father, son and Holy Spirit.

Typically? The Virgin Mary is not typical.

Whilst one can argue that Mary was not typical, there is no evidence in the Bible to suggest that she was betrothed to Joseph at an age any different to any other person of that era, hence my comment that in accordance with the custom of the day, she would have been in her early teens.

What age do you believe her to have been at the time of Jesus birth and what leads you to believe this?

But Joseph was not the father of Jesus.

Surely it just was one of his carpenter mates? And when Mary realised she was preggers, she concocted the whole "son of god" shit to hide her adultery. Joseph believed it, and Mary was happy she'd married a dumb tradie after all.

You can say that again... see above post.

The person may not be imaginary, but the descriptions of his life written by some punters before it occurred (lol) or over 100 years afterwards (again lol) may well be imaginary.

And I truly believe he was a schitzophrenic with delusional disorder.

Where did I say they were fears? I said you are the problem with the world......

You calimed people like me make people like you feel guilty - seems like a pretty fear-based assumption to me.

I judge them cause of their shit countries, they just happen to belong to the shit country and their shit leaders turn them into the type of people I wouldn't want in my country.

Lol, so "our" leaders must really be something towrite home about huh? I see you are still generalising "them" all as "they" and "type of people".

Although whether you think I'm racist or not matters little to me because perfect people like you who have never labelled people by a stereotype or anything can't be reasoned with, you like to judge so you feel superior to everyone.......

Lol, it clearly doesn't matter to you - that's why you keep posting about it!

Phantom, our time will come when we will all know. You have your free will to decide what you think is the truth. Try doing that with the Muslims. You can't even depict their false prophet in any form without a fatwa being bestowed on you.

 

[Wicked Witch Of The West]

What if I told you he grows organic vegetables?

I wouldn't eat them if he offered them to you Gary.

 

[Wicked Witch Of The West]

Don't ever get Waleed started on Bill Moss.

Imho both should be looked into by the feds and both are not acting in the best interests of the country, they need to be sent packing and Moss needs to give up the wheelchair act, who buys into that act?
Evidence will come one day that he can not only walk but is a handy dancer and enjoys the occasional jog under the cover of darkness.
He'll never get his hands on our club.

Just to lighten things up a little (I trust the poor lady is Zoroastrian and not a member of currently topical religion):

Woman sentenced over 'repugnant' bestiality, drug trafficking charges
Posted 7 minutes ago

RELATED STORY: Woman's acts with dog 'completely against the order of nature', judge says
MAP: Brisbane 4000pleaded guilty in court on Friday and Judge Terry Martin today sentenced her to the probationary period over three counts of bestiality, as well as a wholly suspended two-and-a-half-year jail term for drug trafficking.

Video of the bestiality was found by police after a drug investigation in October 2014.

The court heard she engaged in three sex acts with the dog for the arousal of her then partner.

In handing down his sentence, Judge Martin read out a psychologist's report where a seemingly remorseful Driscoll spoke about the affect of the charges to which she pleaded guilty.

"An extract from the psychologist's report suggests you are more sorry for yourself," he told Driscoll in court.

"The psychologist then purports to quote you: 'This has ruined my life, I very much regret what I have done'."

Judge Martin said her bestiality was "repugnant", and he gave little weight to defence barrister James Godbolt's claim about a sentence reduction because of her public shaming.

"The adverse publicity is a direct consequence of your unlawful conduct, and you can hardly be heard to complain about that," the judge said.

Driscoll was 24 when arrested for trafficking and bestiality, and was also on a good behaviour bond for a minor drug offence and obstructing police.

The court was told Driscoll ran away from home when she was 16, started a relationship with a man 12 years her senior and started smoking cannabis when she was 18.

The waitress started trafficking after breaking up with her partner, and had at least 15 regular customers, six suppliers and a phone purely for the purpose of drug deals.

Mr Godbolt had asked that his client be given a head sentence of two to two-and-a-half years, suspended.

Doesn't look like her solicitor is really trying to help the poor lass too much.

Phantom, our time will come when we will all know. You have your free will to decide what you think is the truth.

Sure. As discussed earlier I think there is some form of after/between life, but no "boss" involved.

Try doing that with the Muslims. You can't even depict their false prophet in any form without a fatwa being bestowed on you.

So after preaching free will in the sentence before, why are you upset what "the Muslims" (if you can group them all as one...) believe or don't believe? Why do you care what Waleed Aly does or doesn't think in his spare time?

The reason I was having a go at your post was to try and "return serve", to see if you realised how it felt when someone makes broad generalisations about your beliefs. Clearly you're not interested in the "free will to decide what you think is the truth" when it comes to certain people - or your generalised pre-judged (hi Korny) perception of certain people anyway?
