WHo are???? Names and documentation please.
It is possible that she allowed herself to be examined, because naturally it was a major contention at the time: Was Jesus or was He not, born miraculously?
Pure fantasy and wishful thinking.
Any evidence of His virgin birth would have been destroyed in the birthing process. And besides, there was nothing miraculous about His birth, just His conception. I'm sure He was born like any other human baby in that time since medical technology did not permit c-sections.
It is staggering the lengths Catholics will go to to defend an unscriptural doctrine like Mary's perpetual virginity. Especially since Matthew records here....
Matthew 1:24-25 When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife, but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And he called his name Jesus.
In as delicate a manner as possible, Matthew lays that myth to rest.
Mary did NOT remain a virgin but had normal marital relations with her husband.
If not, then Matthew could have instead said right here that Joseph never knew her as his wife and she remained a virgin for the rest of her life instead of saying that he did.
Matthew walked with Jesus, did he not? He was alive at that time. Who am I going to believe? Him or someone who came along some 400 years later and made it official church dogma and doctrine.
That is not what th Church teaches. The hymen was closed even after birth. Compare John 20:19.
I'm sure He was born like any other human baby
Strong argument there. YOU are sure? Thanks.
