QUESTION: In answer to a question in the Bible Correspondence Course, I
answered that Jesus had an earthly father named Joseph. You marked it
wrong. Why?
ANSWER: The Correspondence Course is teaching that Jesus was not
physically fathered by a human being. This means that Joseph was not a
participant in the conception of Jesus (Matthew 1:18). Matthew tells us that which
was conceived in Mary was “of the Holy Ghost” (Matthew 1:20). Therefore, we
may look at Joseph as Jesus’ stepfather, but His true and real Father is the very
God of heaven. Thus we refer to Him as the Son of God!
