“Ahhh...No. The word “until”, or ‘till, limits the extent of time “Joseph did not know her”, that time ending when “she had brought forth her firstborn son”.”

OK. Prove that this is so on the basis of Greek grammar. The phrase is “heos hou.”

The rest of what you say is opinion, your opinion. It is sensible and plausible, but it is not incontrovertibly true. Again, this is the problem.

So, be obsessed with proving the unprovable. I don’t care. But I am not going to continue this much longer for the simple reason that it is pointless. There are bigger and better things to do. Again, if you what to go after all the truly wrong things the Roman church says and teaches about Mary, I’ll applaud you and, perhaps, even join in. But this dog just doesn’t hunt.

“Until” is a conjunction in Matt.1:25 and thus connects a before phrase and an after phrase. Nothing complicated about it but if it still is unclear I suggest going to Thayer’s Lexicon.

As for the rest...well, if you and your dog don't like what is on this thread, no one is forcing you to stay.
