All your rationalization, twisted *logic*, and wishful thinking did not produce ONE verse of Scripture to support the perpetual virginity of Mary.
It is a story they are weaned on that never happened. It supports Mary's ascension to being a demigoddes - pure, holy, undefiled, but approachable. But made up to incorporate paganism into what remained of roman christianity.
And now, having been indoctrinated, not only can the Roman mind not imagine mary any other way, but they are far more willing to approach the Demigoddess Mary than the Father, having abandoned the Gospel of Grace. "The Father is mean, but the Mother is approachable and loving."
Like worshipping a Sunday Sabbath.
We can do so.
You must violate scripture to do so.
You know MM, maybe there was some Biblical reason for it. I think it came from the 1st Holy Spirit inspired letter of Enmerkar, to the people of Eridu. Rumor has it, those people had some difficulty understanding different languages, especially when building that thing, that was sometimes called, the gateway to the gods. I often wonder why they used brick, instead of stone? 😁😂😊😊
