Why should you keep count?
Back in your post #41 you introduced Marshall and his blog as support for your comments about the Evangelium. Well...
his extra biblical sources have been shown to be either fraudulent or inaccurate or contrary to Scripture or all three in addition to being conflated into saying something they don't.
You say these writers, “....reflects the realities of his time and therefore is a reliable witness”.
That's precisely the point! They are unreliable for all the reasons above and more, therefore cannot be assumed to reflect reality at all.
You say a group of virgins played “a certain role” connected to the worship in the temple. That's certainly vague enough to cover virtually everyone and lends nothing to Mary being a temple virgin or there being some such group being “kept in” the temple as you have asserted based upon Marshall's errant opinions.
If I had to go such sources I would be embarrassed truly, it would be like going to a politician for moral clarity.
And then verifying what he says by asking another politician.
But as it is pointing out how these pseudo (read false) account, Evangelium included, run contrary to Scripture is hardly reason for embarrassment.
Of 3 scriptural sources and 4 traditional Jewish found by Dr. Marshall to corroborate Virgin Mary's childhood association with the Temple, we identified one correct but variant reading and one mistake in translation going back to St. Jerome. The Jewish tradition was used to detect realities of the Jewish custom and it at times came from sources opposed to Christianity, so the Jewish sources used cannot be accused of filling the gaps in Catholic Mariology. I thank you for the debate and am happy with its outcome.
