Yes.

It always best to stick to scripture and not read things into the Bible which are not there or make things up out of whole cloth.

One example: Mary ever virgin.

The Bible NEVER says anything like this. EVER. The Bible mentions:

1) That Mary was a virgin ONLY up to the time of her conception of Jesus. It NEVER goes any farther than that.

2)That Mary was married to Joseph.

3) That Jesus had brothers and sisters.

This doesn’t add up to someone who was a lifelong virgin to me.

And btw, the fact that Mary was married to Joseph, and that Jesus did have brothers and sisters takes nothing away from Mary and Joseph. The Lord commands us to be fruitful and multiply and Mary and Joseph did just that. Physical intimacy is in fact a gift from God given to all married couples. I see no reason why this gift would be denied to Mary and Joseph or our priests for that matter. There is nothing in the Bible supporting such a doctrine.

Or having to go through Mary to reach Yeshua. Yeshua said He was the only way to G-d through Him. There is no other mediator between G-d and Man other than Yeshua.
