Romans...Now I beseech you, brethren, to mark them who make dissensions and offences contrary to the doctrine which you have learned, and avoid them
Titus...A man that is a heretic, after the first and second admonition, avoid: Knowing that he, that is such an one, is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned by his own judgment.
*The plain fact is nobody has cited these scriptures against you, so far.
I think folks have extended to you an amasing amount of patience and generosity of time. They have dug as deeply as they can to try and set you right about the Perpetual Virgintiy of Mary. And yet, you seem unshaken in the face of evidence your ideas are not seriously at variance with the heresy of Nestorius, among others.
Consider thanking those who have taken the time to share with youi their Faith and expertise.
I think they have done a great job and they make me happy I am their brother in Christ.
BTTT!
Thank you borncatholic. I shall take Scripture's advice then and ignore you and your ilk. Good day.
Blogger, I have to ask, why is it so big a deal to say that Mary did not have any more kids? I am a Lutheran, and quite frankly I think it is more than likely that Joseph and Mary did not have sex. It makes sense logically, and isn't contradicted in scripture.
Now, for me it isn't a huge hairy deal. We Lutherans hold it to be an "open question" with the consensus pointing toward Mary never having any more children. But it seems like you are awful worked up over it. Why?
