>>However that doesn’t answer the question as to why she MUST have remained a Virgin AFTER the birth of Christ.<<

Again, purity. The Virgin Birth is one of last times we see God’s hand directly. It is critical He be seen in the event, which included her staying a virgin through and, more importantly, after.

And that about exhausts what I can assemble from my years as a Catholic way back when...

Thank you for your honest response and that does make quite a bit of sense, even if I don’t see Mary remaining a virgin her whole life detracting from her purity, I can see where you are going with this.

Thanks again. That helps alot

Agree that the Virgin Birth is one of the last times we see God's hand directly however I cannot find any Scriptural evidence that Mary remained a virgin the rest of her life.

Would appreciate any Scriptural references to it.
