@hester831,
You can usually tell a Catholic. They distort the Gospel to say stuff that it never has, and find some way to conflate what happened to Mary with an actual marriage to God.
So... Joseph, was he just some guy who followed Mary around? Not her husband, obviously. And the Catholic creeds seem to think she's a perpetual virgin for life, and that she can intercede for sins. And that she is "Mother of God." Explain to me how it is not a heresy to be Bride and Mother of God? On to one hand, you call her God's equal, on the other God's superior. A mere human.
Sorry, no.
Btw, the Bible canonically says that Mary had lots of children after Jesus. This is complete shock even to Protestants, which means Catholics have done a good job convincing people they are Christian.
Christianity branches out like a tree. And sometimes the healthiest looking branches are big and heavy, but filled with hidden rot. Islam has already proven to be a false branch, with its claims that the Trinity is some sort of polytheism and its rejection of Jesus's crucifixion. But Catholicism is also looking like it's ready to fall, along with the Unitarians and the Mormons.
The truth? Mary spent the better part of her life in fear that she might be stoned for being a whore. Mary's plight echoes Jesus's later accusation. Joseph was a good husband to her, and a good father to her children. Catholicism ignores all this to teach a works doctrine (making Jesus's death meaningless) and focuses on worship of Mary (making him a sort of subordinate creation).
But the real Gospel says in John that the Word (Jesus) was "with God in the beginning." Jesus is " begotten not made", meaning Jesus preexisted Mary and only became incarnate through her. She was not some perfect being to be worshipped. God could have chosen any woman to be mother to Jesus. She was simply a good mother, who did in fact have him as a virgin birth (Jesus has no Y chromosomes).
