Just a thought here...If Mary was shown to STILL be a virgin after Christ's birth (lady-stuff being intact), how would that prove she was even Jesus’ mother? Since Joseph was the only other person in the stable during the birth nobody else objectively would be an eyewitness that she indeed gave birth yet remained a virgin. Who's to say they didn't just adopt him from someone else?

Why all you have to do is read that silly tripe called the Infancy Gospel of James. A bright light...and presto! there the child was!

People would have seen her with her belly sticking out as she was getting closer to delivery. If she was pregnant yesterday and tomorrow her belly is flat and she is holding a newborn baby in her arms, chances are she delivered it.

Who's to say they didn't just adopt him from someone else? Of course. You either believe the Church or form your own theories. That is one of them. A number of biological children is another. Protestantism is the gateway lie to a complete loss of faith.
