I honor Mary for being willing to follow God’s direction for her life.
She was simply a woman, like any other who has great faith in God. She lived a completely normal life, bearing other children after the birth of Jesus.
I refuse to believe that God would reward her faithfulness by denying her other children.
Mary was righteous. Righteous wives do not defraud (cheat) their husbands by insisting on sham marriages. Mary had other children.
The fanatical denial of normal humanity to the mother of Jesus reflects the deadly, seductive tug of pagan mother goddess worship, and neoplatonic disdain for God's wonderful created order. It is also an assault upon the image of God in man, since normal marital sexuality is part of who God made us to be in order to reflect Him.
This is an assertion, which happens, like the author points out, to separate you from the mainstream body of Christian thought.
I refuse to believe ...
Indeed. That is a problem. You also refuse to think. Do you really imagine that after giving birth to God a "simply woman" would say, "OK, that's done, now that the angel's gone, let's make us some babies"
Amen, mom. A voice of reason...
