Compare it to what?

The Catholic/Orthodox Church teaches that Christ was born supernaturally just as he was conceived supernaturally, and just as Mary's conception did not violate her virignity, neither did Christ's birth. Alex was using John 10:19 to show that Jesus could enter (and exit) supernaturally (through solid objects) as he enetered the room with the doors shut.

virignity=virginity
enetered=entered

John 10:19 says, ‘a dispute rose among the Jews due to these words’. (put yer glasses on!)

“The Catholic/Orthodox Church teaches that Christ was born supernaturally just as he was conceived supernaturally, and just as Mary's conception did not violate her virignity, neither did Christ's birth.”

More tales from the apocrypha and “since he could do anything he did this and such because he could”.

Big deal. Lots of religions that have been around longer than the Catholic church teach a lot of things they call the truth.

Why does the church make up things about people which can't be Scripturally supported. but rather is directly contradicted by a plain reading of the Bible, and pass them off as truth?

The Bible doesn't teach it and that's all that counts.

Just a thought here...If Mary was shown to STILL be a virgin after Christ's birth (lady-stuff being intact), how would that prove she was even Jesus’ mother? Since Joseph was the only other person in the stable during the birth nobody else objectively would be an eyewitness that she indeed gave birth yet remained a virgin. Who's to say they didn't just adopt him from someone else?
