This means he did not know her carnally until after the birth of her first born child emphesis on HER child not their child.
Matthew 1:25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son[/b]: and he called his name JESUS.
Lot knew exactly what they were wanting and was willing to send out his virgin daughters. But the angle would not allow it and blinded them.
Genesis 19:4-5 But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter: And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.
blessed (past tense) be the fruit of thy womb indicates she was already pregnant. Elizabeth was 6 months pregnant at that time and Mary stayed three months with her. Pretty sure she was there when John was born, and by that time Mary knew she was pregnant.
Luke 1:41-43 And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

Well..if you consider the fact that Mary and Joseph had other children...none of whom is claimed to have been of "virgin birth" then one has to assume that sex was the method of procreation. I mean I'm no biblical scholar, in fact I like to think of myself as a well informed atheist, I just don't get the point of this post.

Good to see someone pick up on these little truths in the Bible . Keep reading and studying OP and more of the fake biblical news will fall by the wayside .

Once again a person who does not believe the Bible to begin with,
i
let alone that it is inspired and preserved, trying to teach those of us who do. What the truth is. The height of hypocrisy is seen in refuting a book you do not believe in.

now go and use the built in cross reference of the AV and seek to see what knew, know and known meant in regards to sex and conception of children, even the men of Sodom said to Lot," send out the men who came unto you this day that we may know them"Lot knew exactly what they were wanting and was willing to send out his virgin daughters. But the angle would not allow it and blinded them.
Genesis 19:4-5 But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter: And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.
Should I make mention of Adam Knew his wife and she conceived and bore two sons, and then knew her again and she brought forth Seth. Or of when Noah awoke from his drunken stupor, then he KNEW what his son ham had done unto him.
Try doing some real study of the words in the preserved bible before you post such nonsense.

I will explain it to you.
The Catholic Church says she was a perpetual virgin, the oldest surviving Christian Church.
Yet in their own version of the Bible you can clearly see no speculation is necessary.
There is a literal passage that says Joseph could have sex with Mary after Jesus was born.
With proof, that nobody to my knowledge has ever made a thread about that proves they are lying.
I think if you do not get that you may consider yourself informed but I am not going to say that I think you are astute.
Because it's a simple subject, my point is clear... yet you think it is worth spending time to tell me you didn't get the point.
What EXACTLY don't you understand?
Because it is not a point one should be lacking comprehension in at all.
Not to be rude but you are trying to say that I either have no point or you just don't get the point.
The same point everyone else seems to understand fine.
Not you though, hmmm.
Jesus's brothers and sisters. The Gospel of Mark 6:3 and the Gospel of Matthew 13:55-56 state that James, Joses (or Joseph), Judas, and Simon were the brothers of Jesus, the son of Mary. The same verses also mention unnamed sisters of Jesus.

Man If I was married to a woman who got pregnant under mysterious circumstances because she is a virgin the LAST thing I'd be doing is withholding sex until she gave birth. Either Joseph is the biggest beta male I've ever seen or the Bible is full of #.
Or maybe just maybe a real angel of the Lord appeared to him and explained it out. Tell me . what would you do or say if a real angel of God appeared to you and said something ?

Way to get defensive and take an argument into the personal...but I won't address that further.
Anyone that has studied any sort of biblical history knows that the "jesus" had brothers and sisters, fathered by Joseph. If the Catholic church denies this, then it's quite obvious they are wrong.

Even a simple google search would have netted you that result.
linky thing
linky thing 2
So again...are you trying to derail the catholic church or are you pointing out something that most people know?

Why are you so mad because I explained what you asked me to, oh, because it wasn't complicated and I said so?
Too bad, don't ask for explanations for things you don't understand unless you want an answer, if it is a simple concept and someone brings it up, don't get pissy, it's you who doesn't get the point.
Do you get it yet? Sensitive one.

The Bible is a book of esoteric myths, it's not b. s. Christians just don't understand anything esoteric or want to so they benefit little from it.
There was no virgin birth, that much I can assure you as the Jewish Christians did not believe in it, the Romans added it.
