Is that how Joseph died? He touched Mary by accident (like Uzza)?
Not that we know of. But then, Joseph was a righteous man, and would not do such a thing.
Was Mary ever taken captive by the phillistines for 7 months?
If one were to consider the demeaning of Mary by yourself and other protestants a form of captivity by enemies, then I guess one could say yes, she has been for centuries.
Did Joseph ever dance naked in front of Mary, like David did in front of the Ark?
I have no doubt that they worshipped together. Whether that included any sacred dance is not recorded. Are you scandalized by that, like David’s wife was?
It is possible to resist the urge to take pot shots at the sacred traditions of you brethren in Christ. The flesh avails nothing, but the Spirit is life.
How far should typology go?
As far as the Apostolic Succession declares.
Sorry, the problem is typology, Mystical Theology, rationalized theology, and tradition that contradicts scripture and has nullified the word of God.
Matt 15:9 ‘BUT IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE PRECEPTS OF MEN.’"
I find myself curious, once again, kaycee, why you are here on this forum with all these pagans?
I also find myself amazed that you have taken unto yourself the perogative of God, that you can determine whose worship is pure and whose is vain. Wasn’t there some scripture about the log in one’s own eye? If you think the teachings about Mary that were handed down to us from the Apostles are precepts of men, then why are you cluttering up this thread? Why waste your time reading it, if you believe in advance it is wrong?
