You must consummate a marriage to make it official.





First of all, Jesus had brothers and sisters. And second, where is it written that a marriage has to be consummated? Even the Apostle Paul said if you want you want to keep your wife a virgin, keep her well.
They were not married when she conceived. They were engaged, it says she was betrothed to Joseph. They had not had a chance to get married. Joseph married here while she was pregnant. They had other children after Jesus was born.
You're talking current marriage practices.
What are you talking about, they had several children...
Now dude, you know old Joe broke that off at some point.
That's a very good question. I'm not Catholic, so I don't know how they address this. I'll star it for my Catholic contacts. Hopefully, one of them will be able to give you a good answer.
Jesus had brothers and a sister.
The Bible says they did after the birth of Christ.
They did after Jesus was born.


They did have other children
