According to Christian Scripture, Joseph believed that Mary was an adulteress and that Jesus, the child she was
carrying was a bastard child! We see this clearly in Matthew 1:19
Mat 1:19 Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace he
had in mind to divorce her quietly.
"Public Disgrace" could only mean that Joseph believed that Mary was an adulteress. He even states in the verse above
that he intended to divorce her. Clearly Joseph believed that Mary had committed adultery and the child she was
carrying (Jesus) was in fact a "Bastard Child"!
If one continues onto Verse 20 they will find that Joseph, after falling asleep, *DREAMT* that a Heavenly Spirit
talked with him. The Bible Says It was a Dream! It never really happened! Dreams are NOT reality! But
Joseph, because of that dream, decided to take Mary as his wife anyway.
