a. Numbers chapter 5. The Jealousy Offering that was required involved a long process of questioning & testing. Though, as you say, Joseph would have considered this due to a possible suspicion of his wife, I don't believe he would have ever proceeded with it.
b. Matthew 1:20,21. If it were not for the angelic assurance that the Seed in Mary was implanted by the Holy Spirit & not by any man, Joseph could well have entertained other options with great despair.
Therefore, I don't believe that the matter proceeded further than this. That Joseph, with the assurance & comfort from the Lord, believed that the impossible was made possible & now became a fact; and that it was incumbent upon him to offer no further questions on the matter but accept the status quo, & honor his promise to Mary. He would then always be a guardian to the Child Jesus, though to others in the society, seen as Jesus' biological father with a clear ancestral line to David.
Trust that He is with you every second.
Hope this helped you. Saw that you had not received a reply. That's why I answered. Be well and look up to Him to whom all glory is due. Jesus loves you in Christ. 1 Peter 2 Chapter. Stay close to the script. And He is close too u.
also pray that God will give me a rapture dream
You fight to lose! I am losing now, but I speak to those regardless if th@ includes u, seek eternal loss!
I don't know the thing to be: on the one hand, if we adults DON'T WORK in CHRIST's Father to change the things that need improvement now, then we aren't doing the things that begot us the blessings & freedoms that we have today. Like the Founding Fathers created the USA, one if the many great countries that many great things have come out of--opportunity being one of the greatest. Ir the Civil Rights Movement for Black Americans, or Women's Suffragists, fighting for women to have the right to vote in America, etc! Same with laws passed that help w/ safety --someone had to WORK to pass down what we now inherit freely, at times w/o thinking/being thankful! Today, though, the ones that would to make the world a worse off place seem to be working to bring about bad laws, etc, but the majority? don't seem to be equipped to work to counter it! When GOD was taken out of schools, and then taken out of everywhere else-even His own Holy Days or Holidays.... Now, the world has become a far worse place for those who need and DESERVE the MOST protection (children)! I see the enemy's cause is being advanced, but whether we're retreating or not, we're losing too much ground & RAPIDLY! We are to work to leave an inheritance for the children, yet we are impotent, or at least we believe so. I would we'd fight to get back to being great in obedience toward GOD, that He fight FOR those 2 seconds! People fought to end slavery...now people just accept it, or feel ill-equipped to stop it! I have had anger, b/c I have been opposed in becoming that a Moses or an Abraham or a King David-someone who can pray&save lives! I don't know y GOD allowed this, but pray He lose/free me
I am sorry for what wickedness you have been made to endure!!!!! My words are weak, but that is some of the anger...anger that abuse--children are aa the slaves back during America's Transatlantic Slave trade, as the Jews in Nazi Germany, and as the Christian and other non-Catholics during the Inquisition (which took an unprecedented far greater number in kives than the Holocaust, and is not spoken of. I guess b/c it portrays Christians as victims, but it vexes me, b/c Christians are blamed for it, by those who lie either in ignorance or in full knowledge of what they are doing.
And Paul considered himself to be an apostle ( 1 Corinthians 1:1; 2 Corinthians 2:1), though the sense here I think, was that he was numbered with the other apostles yet one born out of due time (i.e. the others were direct witnesses of Jesus, walked with Him & called by Him, whereas Paul's qualification was of his explicit vision & calling to be Jesus' chosen vessel). Since Paul's day, there has been no other apostle, except Barnabas & those others since, who fulfil the apostolic definition of being God's messenger to the unsaved but not of the original 12 + 1.
Pray to the LORD that you will not pressure neither stress your son! 12 Years, you love him, it seems, but 12 years is a LONG TIME to be pressured in matter. Perhaps there haven't been good daughters -in-law worthy if taking HIS (family) NAME....
Ask GOD to give you and your beloved spouse PATIENCE! You see, GOD is the matchmaker. If He has created a wonderful, and beautiful woman worthy of being your daughter-in-law& worthy of SERVING YOU and your spouse into a good old age, then GOD will know just the right time to pluck that ripe fruit from HIS Vine&gift it to thine!
Perhaps be as the pastor & begin praying for this woman now, too! IF GOD wills you a beloved daughter-in-law, pray GOD perfect both she & your son, that they serve one another & GOD blissedly, perfectly! Also, pray for her lufe's trials, prosperity & successes & strength & health, etc! Unless your son is a child, she's on the earth already, no? IF GOD wills this!
11 But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.
12 For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it. -( Matthew 19: 10-12)
NOW concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
3 Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.
4 The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.
5 Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.
6 But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.
7 For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.
8 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.
9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
10 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:
11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
-( I Corinthians 7:1-17, but I ran out of room) Unless your son cannot contain his flesh, please cease from pressuring him esteemed brother or sister of the faith. He is able to focus. If he marries, and his wife beareth seed: Matthew 24:19!
If any brethren who see my words would, for your sibling, right here, now pray: that GOD deliver me from evil, and bless me to be able to hold my peace in the midst of folk who would me not to turn my cheek the other way. This is meant in general, not an attack on the person behind this username.
I regret that I posted this. I hadn't planned on posting anything other than a polite prayer request asking for help in forgiveness & anger abatement, but, b/c I 'd held my peace w/ 1 of my abusers, he decided that he needed to come back over to where I was, and try again (appears he pulled up more pornography, so that I would be forced to look at those images when I helped him with his phone. I hate him&for good reason, but GOD requires forgiveness. My anger isn't from the past, but the present. My anger has been, at times, toward GOD, b/c of what His will has been for "my" life-which I have the LEAST amount of say in. I have anger for what is done to others. I'd wanted to do good&improve my community via Christ, but GOD's will wasn't quite the same (as my specific ideas in doing that, I mean). I look back at all the good that could have been, and the bad that might have been avoided & where the world is now-more innocents suffering & those that cause it seem more bold, while the public is less shocked by the shocking & more helpless or burnt out to rescue those in need. I took my anger out on a specific user, tho I had noted that I 'd received said user's comment in love to an older post. Post having aeen additional comments by said user, I became annoyed, but that may have been something else causing the mild annoyance, regardless, I was taking my anger for others out on a user that I felt meant help&love. There were a few things that made me question if this person was apart of the stalking online/off I go thru, but REGARDLESS: I KNEW that I was taking evil out on someone &thatcis something that, the majority of my life ANGERED me greatly: when folks would take their anger out on anyone other than the source of saud anger! Yet, I did that here. I even justified it w/n myself! Things I have NEVER BEEN, the past few years, I have become or done. I do not like my username, b/c I am not good enough for it, but I came up w/ it b4& can't change it.
And that the LORD will reveal His Will for him, and plant His desires
in his heart. And for His peace that passeth all understanding to
reside in your hearts.
Mat 6:33 kjv, 1 John 5:14 kjv.
Genesis 2:18
I pray that the Father will indeed soften his heart to marry. In Jesus name. Amen.
May God bless you with a lovely daughter in law and beautiful grandchildren. And I pray that Jesus will be the center of their hearts and home.
Merry Christmas to you and yours. We are all here at our house. Still recovering with a cough and fatigue, so am not cooking this time.
So glad that Daniel is doing so well and has such a promising life ahead. Praise the Lord, for He is good, His mercies never cease and His love never fails!
