"It doesn't. So if I were a sola scriptura Protestant, I really wouldn't be able to comment on the matter of Mary's perpetual virginity, one way or the other. "

If it weren't for Catholics that are duped by tradition that contradicts Scripture there would be no need for the foolish discussion on Mary's virginity.

Why is that papists want us to defend our views with scripture and then hide behind the skirt of tradition and sola scriptura when the same thing is asked of them?

Hypocrisy or scriptural ignorance?

But this is your problem. You baldly assert, here, that our Tradition contradicts Scripture. I asked for Scripture that was contradictory and you proved incapable of providing any. Yet, you hold it as a tenet of your faith that we are wrong. Perhaps this is a tradition of your own?

In your case ignorance. The revolutionaries Luther, Calvin and Zwingli all believed in the perpetual virginity of Mary. Why don't you "learned" protestants ever mention that.

"You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end."

"How will this be," Mary asked the angel, "since I am a virgin?"

Does Mary's response sound a bit strange to you considering that she was getting married?
