I was trying to be funny in another thread and it occurred to me that I didn't know enough about the subject to really be certain what I was typing was funny... (hahaha! Like that's ever stopped me!)
Joseph and Mary were betrothed when Elohim met Mary on the road to her cousin's, Elizabeth, whom Mary was visiting to congratulate her for finally getting knocked up, with John the Baptist as her prize. So Elohim does the ceremony and 'knows' Mary (KnowsMary's Baby!) and she is pregnant with Jesus.
An Angel appears to Joseph, Mary's fiancé, with the really, really, really great news, "Hey, ghawd has knocked up your fianceé, but it's for a good cause!", which of course makes Joseph all warm and cuddly.
But he does the right thing, and raises Jesus like Jesus was his very own demi-ghawd offspring!
But then what happened to Joseph? Where is he, what do we know of him after Jesus starts selling really essential oils, the kind you need to get into heaven? Was Joseph a Republican, Democrat, Green Party or a GDI? Or whatever the corresponding divisions were called back then... What did he think of his adopted son's message and methods?
And where was he, Joseph, the Friday night before Easter? When Jesus cried out the thread title, was he talking to his dad, little 'd', or his Dad, big 'D'? Did Jesus even really know Big Dad? There's no mention of Jesus and Elohim meeting for coffee, etc. The 40 day fast in the desolate wilderness could have held daily visits with Elohim, with catered goodies and beach umbrellas...
Did Jesus ever complain to Joseph, "You always liked your own kids better!"
