    </font>[/QUOTE]Sorry. I thougnt that God said that Joseph was going to divorce Mary BECAUSE he was a JUST man. Thought the word there was dikaios, righteous. Of course, that could not be, since divorce is always a sin...


    </font>[/QUOTE]Jews customs were what most would call "strange" today, as proof of a woman's virginity, the bed sheet with the blood from the broke "hymen" would be displayed at the city gate.

    And as proof of our "Virginity" (Saved) the blood of the lamb will be displayed before God.     </font>[/QUOTE]I don't think you'll find this in Scripture.

    </font>[/QUOTE]In Matthew 1:19, the word δικαιος is correctly translated either righteous or just. In this context and sense, just is better when considered in reference to law. Joseph was a just man in the sense that he was fair, honest and willing to obey the prevailing Jewish law. Regarding the divorce question, Joseph would have been functioning under the OT law of Deuteronomy 24.

    But, do we not have a God of 2nd (and 3rd, and 4th...) chances?

    Not saying that we, as Christians, do things intentionally to push the envelope. If I did....I wouldn't have seriously asked the above question. I mean this pure-heartedly. Don't we have the God of 2nd chances?

    Heb 9:22 and without shedding of blood is no remission. (of sin)

    1Co 12:27 Now ye are the body of Christ,

    All Jewish customs apply to scripture, in some manner.
