Watched a film this morning about the birth of christ. It showed Joseph being offered a rock to throw at Mary as the village believed she was an adulteress, He refused because he was so madly in love with her so hence the Mary / God bit.
I would like to ask what would happen today in this situation? To the men out there here is the scenario:
your wife tells you she is pregnant, you were away on business at the time she would have fallen pregnant, she is adamant she has not slept with another man. you are told by everyone to divorce her but you love her so much and can not bare to lose her....do you:
A: tell the jewish community their messiah is on its way
B: tell the christians they have the wrong man,
C: go on Jeremy Kyle.

In an ideal World a law would be passed were NO guns were allowed and all those out there destroyed, trouble is the law makers are not going to take a risk of trying to pass that without making sure they are armed first.

I'd leave anyone who cheated on me. I don't buy the "God did it" excuse in other instances, why should I now?

If my wife was like Mary, the Mother of Jesus, then i'd love my children more!!

νιώθεις πως δεν υπάρχουνε λύσεις,
τότε μόνο δυο μάτια μπορούνε,
να σε κάνουν να θέλεις να ζήσεις.

But what will you tell the world? is he the new messiah? will you require special privileges for him, say at school or the doctors or at KFC?

A: tell the jewish community their messiah is on its way. ... nah, just move away , quietly.
B: tell the christians they have the wrong man, ... no christians to worry about yet.
C: go on Jeremy Kyle. .. no, hit the road with Jesus and put on Fish, Bread, and Wine banquets for BIG bucks!

First and foremost I'd insist on medical tests to make sure it's a normal, healthy pregnancy. If it is normal, then I'd ask to have a DNA test. That last one should be the clincher weather or not the child is of "Divine Intervention". Either the father is a human male, or the little tyke is a medical anomaly (if I'm not mistaken, parthenogenesis cannot happen in humans). I would also ask my wife to seek psychological therapy.
If my wife were refuse to participate with any of the above then I would have to conclude that she is either lying or is suffering from some psychological disorder.
Whatever the case, I would not run out and start proclaiming that the child is the next messiah.
But since I'm not married I don't have anything to worry about.
Right?

Hey, I'm not wrong. I'm just not completely right.

Since God/Angels spoke to Joseph also, I'd expect the same to happen here, so either the male parent would think he is going insane also, or he'd believe the angels also.
What would happen in Chicago, New York, Miami or San Francisco if someone pronounced their wife was with someone elses child???? Nothing would happen. It happens hundreds, maybe thousands of times a day. Cheating happens constantly these days, it is not the crime it used to be.
Personally, I'd say nothing, because that is what God asked of Joseph.
