Sure....

Luke 1: 26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent 
           from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, 
        27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, 
           of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. 
         . 
         .
         .
        34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing 
           I know not a man? 
        35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost 
           shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall 
           overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which 
           shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. 

Matt 1: 18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as 
           his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came 
           together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.

        23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth 
           a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being
           interpreted is, God with us. 
        24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the 
           Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: 
        25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn 
           son: and he called his name JESUS. 

 ".... and knew her *not* till she had brought forth her firstborn".

This shows that Joeseph *honored* Mary until after the birth of Jesus.

If the DSC (dead sea scrolls) say different, then the DSC aren't a 
good measurement of what's written in the word.  As I've heard the DSC
is a really good *AMEN* to the OT.  In that it verifies 98% of it and 
such.  As to whether it has any NT information, I don't know.

They are either pulling his leg to get him off-balance, or *they* don't
know what they are talking about and just playing devil's advocate.
