Luke chapter 2 defines the Immaculate Conception as clearly as anything defines the Trinity. As for Mary's perpetual virginity, there is nothing in Scripture which makes any mention of her having any other children.

"Luke chapter 2 defines the Immaculate Conception as clearly as anything defines the Trinity. As for Mary's perpetual virginity, there is nothing in Scripture which makes any mention of her having any other children."
I don't disagree with how Jesus was conceived.
How about her perpetual virginity?
Sinlessness?
Where's that in the Bible?

Here we go again. Joseph and Mary had other children. It's definitely mentioned: James (of the Epistle of James), Joseph, Simon, Jude (of the Epistle of Jude), and unnamed sisters. It mentioned that Joseph did not "have union" with Mary until after Jesus was born. Matthew 1:25
Matthew 13:55-56 "...Isn't his mother's name Mary, and aren't his brothers, James, Joseph, Simon and Judas? Aren't all his sisters with us?"
