Jesus wasn't a charity case. He would have refused it. It wouldn't have been his to refuse. Child support isn't paid to the child -- it's paid to the other parent or guardian.

Joseph assumed the responsibilities of raising Jesus through His childhood.

I'm afraid not. The concept of child support dates back only as far as Pliny The Younger, who was born in 61 A.D. So you can see that God was clever enough to have Mary knocked up just under the wire. Really saved Himself a packet.

He brought him back from the dead. That's got to equate to at least 10 years covered.

IsapopInsulting God and His mother like that is not a wise thing to say the least.

No. Fck no, I just meant that one assumes certain responsibilities when takes on the role of "step-father".... or, at least, they should...

Respectfully if someone wants to keep the title step in the mix so he can have parental rights the other guy isn't obligated to support his kid.

I don't really need to say anymore as it should be obvious that talking crap about God and His mother is something that should be avoided. It's disrespectful to the Creator.
I know we all make mistakes and all but that's something that can be easily avoided which kinda makes it look all that much worse because of it.

This is not church and we're not a gathering of worshippers. So it's not obvious at all that people should avoid "talking crap about God". Should we avoid it because the Creator (assuming his existence) threatens eternal punishment to those who don't speak respectfully about him? Does having the power of creation automatically mean being worthy of respect?
If you think such points don't need to be addressed then you've come to the wrong place.

IsapopIt should be obvious because you got Heaven and hell for your final destinations after your time here on earth. I know we all sin, but i would avoid as much of it as you can as it's in your own interest to do so. knowing that God is the good and satan is the bad... so naturally talking crap about God is a bad thing. i would imagine most people know the basics there even if they have not heard or know much else about Christianity, they probably know that much. p.s. i know you probably don't believe in God so chances are you think the bible etc is all fiction but unless your certain God does not exist, which i don't see how someone could think this way with absolute certainty, it seems like a safer bet to avoid talking negativity towards Him. Talking a bit of crap is not likely to send you to hell on that alone. still, it is a sin and sin has punishment which is either paid for in this life or the next before reaching Heaven (this assumes one does not end up in hell as if you end up here, it's for eternity). Do you really even need to ask? Of course the Creator is automatically worthy of respect. He gave you life and sets the standards for us humans to live by as it's for our own good. a bit of humility will help here as what your saying sounds like pride and that can be a problem not even to acknowledge something basic like this. God is not the bad guy, satan is. rebelling against God is what satan did and look what happened there

You have every right to believe what you do and so do those who think the opposite. To them there is no such thing as blasphemy since they are certain that God does not exist. Freedom of speech and freedom of religion allows both sides to express their opinions and gives neither side the right to IMPOSE their thoughts on others by denying them any rights. Thankfully we both live in secular societies which allows us these freedoms.

Joseph assumed the responsibilities of raising Jesus through His childhood. Who was Jesus's father then? And please don't tell me it was a supernatural entity. Joseph was the Earthly man who raised Jesus. I can't finish the answer if you don't want to hear what I believe the rest to be so I have no clue what the purpose of asking me the question is.
