Holy shit. Mary was 12 or 13 years old and Joseph was nearly 70 years old? So our savior Jesus Christ was the product of an illegal statutory relationship?
So let me get this straight in the eyes of the good bible which wasn't broken down from state to state people were sexually active as young as 12 and 13 years old and the Lord didn't condemn or destroy them like he did when people were having same sex sodomy in the towns of Sodom and Gomorrah?
Mary - Profile of Mary the Mother of Jesus from the New Testament:
Mary was a young girl, probably only about 12 or 13 years old when the angel Gabriel came to her. She had recently become engaged to a carpenter named Joseph. Mary was an ordinary Jewish girl, looking forward to marriage. Suddenly her life would forever be changed.
Mary was fearful and troubled in the presence of the angel. She could never have expected to hear the most incredible news — that she would have a child, and her son would be the Messiah. Although she could not comprehend how she would conceive the Savior, she responded to God with belief and obedience.
Although Mary's life held great honor, her calling would demand great suffering as well. Just as there is pain in childbirth and motherhood, there would be much pain in the privilege of being the mother of the Messiah.
