[Elsie]

For example, in 2 Samuel 6:23, we read that "Michal the daughter of Saul had no children till the day of her death." Now, unless you believe that Michal had children after her death, you have to admit to "till/until" can mean something other than what you claim.

Since the first was written in HEBREW, and the second in GREEK; I find that your claim that it can ONLY mean what you want it to mean without merit.

Second: The Church teaches and has always held that Our Lady remained a virgin after the birth of our Lord.

I understand that these stories have been handed done in the tradition of your church.<

And are there not OTHER 'stories' that state just the opposite?

[B-Chan]

The Tradition of the Catholic Church is nothing less than the teaching handed down to us from the Apostles. (The Scriptures are a product of that Sacred Tradition.) It therefore follows that only the Church can teach the Christian faith authoritatively. And the Church teaches that Our Lady is perpetually virgin.

When I am looking for authentic Christian truth, I have two choices: I can trust in the Church, with her two thousand year tradition of teaching stretching all the way back to our Lord Himself, or I can trust in Pope St. Elsie, who claims the ability to infallibly teach the truth based upon Pope St. Elsie’s feelings, opinions, and desires.

I hope you won’t take it personally when I say that I trust the Church more than I trust you.
