Your post prattles on making no sense..

Will you please grow up? Admit you know NOTHING about Mary's relationship with God, OR Joseph. And if you think you do, please quote some scripture on it, because I've seen nothing credible here.

Admit you know NOTHING about Mary's relationship with God, OR Joseph. And if you think you do, please quote some scripture on it, because I've seen nothing credible here.

Luke 2:6&7 While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son.

It doesn't say *only* son, but *firstborn*.

Matthew 1:24-25 When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.

It doesn't say Joseph NEVER having union with her. Nor does it state that she remained a virgin after Jesus's birth, which, if her continually remaining a virgin was sooooo important, Scripture should have and would have stated, since God makes sure to include important things in the Bible.

Matthew 13:54-56 Coming to his hometown, he began teaching the people in their synagogue, and they were amazed. "Where did this man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers?" they asked. "Isn't this the carpenter's son? Isn't his mother's name Mary, and aren't his brothers James, Joseph, Simon and Judas? Aren't all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things?"

And then there's this verse where Jesus' brothers are named BY NAME, JUST LIKE MARY. And the term *all* in reference to sisters, implies 3 or more. If it were one, it would be singular, if two the word *both* would have been used.

Those people knew who they were talking about and they knew who He was related to. If those children were not offspring of Mary and Joseph, then one of them committed adultery.

So again, the question arises.....WHY is it so important that Mary would have been perpetually a virgin? Once she delivered Jesus, the prophecy was fulfilled, that a virgin would conceive and bear a son. After that, there was no necessity for her to remain a virgin.

Matthew 1:
[24] When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him; he took his wife,
[25] but knew her not until she had borne a son; and he called his name Jesus.

Now it's your turn to provide Scripture concerning Mary's perpetual virginity.
