Love how white all these Arabic people are.

I'm pretty sure that's Russell Crowe playing Joseph in the background. So yeah, I agree.

What skin colour do you think people in the area have? Black?

Google search for "palestinian boy"

Joseph must have felt like the single-most gaslit man in human history. Not only can't she just admit she fucked around, but she has to make it so that she's special and righteous for having done it. And expects you to believe it was a GHOST. Typical.

Wasn't it pretty known that it was Joseph that stuck it in her? Even the bible has moments where people mention "she preggo and engaged to Joseph, of course that's not gods' baby"

There are also slips for example in Luke when Jesus is 12 and Mary refers to them both as his parents (in the oldest manuscripts).

In any case the story doesn't show up to about 50 years after the supposed crucifixion, and resembles Greco-Roman virgin birth stories that were circulating at the time. Additionally there is no clear path to how that story could have been transmitted since it would have required the Ministry to go back to the parents and pick it up.

Very likely the author of Matthew Gospel was dealing with several contradictions and cobbled them together.

I doubt any man would believe a lie that bad. Recon they fucked out of wedlock and made the story up.
