Subject: Defending themselves or accusing Jesus? |
Bible Note: Okay I understand what you are saying now. You are referencing currently available copies of the Halakah and the Mishnah. And you are right as Tim also pointed out sexual relations would start or institute a betrothal. However that was more of, “we got a situation and something needs to be done,” type of thing. It certainly does not give the normal betrothed couple a pass on premarital sex. Now backing up the original question that started this thread the correct and finite answer would be in Jewish society if the father or in the case of Jesus his step father Joseph, having publicly accepted the child as his own the stigma or question of illegitimacy would never be thought of. |
