There is NO SARCASIM AT ALL.... Immaculate Conception and the perpetual virginity of Mary does not exist in the Bible. As you stated it is a tradition not Scriptural fact. Please try to find it. We listed evry verse pertaining to Mary found in the Holy Script. I know this must be a blow to all that you have been taught as it was to me. But I want to see her as Almighty God's Word states and describes her. She still is lovely. Let her be who she truly is. That is God's commandment.

Yes, Mary’s perpetual virginity is not explicitly in the Bible. More to the point, neither is your anti-virginity thesis.

Even more importantly, your schismatic attack on traditional Orthodox, Catholic, Protestant Christians is simply evil. It does you no credit.

INDEED! AMEN!

WELL SAID.

And, imho, regardless of the Christian denomination or congregation . . . the degree of idolatry seems to be related to the intensity of the rabid defense of said idolatry—maybe not a 1:1 correlation but certainly in that direction.

Yup, Mary’s perpetual virginity is a non-Biblical belief, as is her immaculate conceptipon and assumption into Heaven.

I was reading Galatians last night and one of the verses said “Greetings to Jesus’ brother.”

I wish the Catholic church would move away from this goddess-worship-in-not-so-many-terms ideology and become Biblically correct.
