In future data, accords the claimants henceforward Christians know or, should know--that both Mary & Joseph were Hebrews and devout status to their faith, was seldomly noted scripturally. After all, in the early stages, one needs to be observant of the ongoing difficulties of the church bringing into form, the very essence that will be the true representation of the Christian faith. Therefore, anybody who may have been somebody, was indeed fair game if they happened to be Jews, like that of Mary and Joseph. The calamity of the Torah being a part of the Christian's book came at the brink of wars. Though they were minor tribes, these hagglers over a book--The Book of Books--did naught have much prestige from the major players points of view. Though they had their spies, the big boys were clueless and therefore treated them like any fanaticism movement that may be brewing. They were more concerned with each other, the Romans and the Byzantine Empires, and others. Matthew, Mark, and Luke mentioned that Jesus spent 40 days and nights in the wilderness, eating bitter herbs. It had something to do with the Golden Calf, Exodus, and Moses. It was a common practice for Jews to fast, 40 days/nights, and to eat bitter herbs, for half of The Ten Commandments tablet destroyed, as that was their fate--not faith. It sounds like Lent--but that's practiced by Christians. Pray-tell, what churches existed during the time of Christ. It is safe to declare Jews practice fasting as part of their faith and not limited to Yom Kippur. There were no elaborations of mention of Jewish concerns as distance was an honorable tradition of humankind--in general. Matthew, Mark, and Luke speak of Christ's encounter with the Anti-Christ, which becomes graphically explicit, and a good indicator that Christ was alone during the Holiness Hunger of 40 days/nights. All three mentioned the rich young man unable to part from his wealth. In the wilderness, Luke credits Christ's encounter with the Samaritan He meets along the way, thus establishing a show-n-tell for those who will follow Him. Lazarus and his household, miracle at Cana, preparations all and more so. It may appear like fetching, forcing a puzzle to fit, conjectures, --but my choice was best. I don't remember verbatim as it was fifty years ago, and we didn't have computers back then. These were the basis being scriptureless as my thesis for my University entrance exam of books written by others describing the creation of The Bible. They were curious writers just interested in what these guys were up to, but one thing I thought might be said and or added, is what I concluded of the whole matter. The creation of The Word was led by The Holy Spirit. A nice collaboration of writers, got me into the Uni, --Amen.
