I never claimed she remained a virgin after Jesus birth.

The prophecy was that a virgin would conceive and bear a son.

She did. Prophecy fulfilled. Done deal.

Scripture clearly speaks of Jesus brothers and sisters and goes as far as naming the brothers.

The teachings that they were cousins does not fit in context, the teaching that she was perpetually a virgin is in direct contradiction to Matthew 1:25. That would make it a lie.

THAT is why it’s important whether she was perpetually a virgin..... or not.

I don’t care how many *church fathers* agreed to this, or how close to His life they were. Error was creeping into the church from the very beginning. Paul had to address it in several of his epistles.

And besides, consensus does not truth make. Broad is the way that leads to hell and many are there that find it. Just because lots of people believe something, doesn’t make it true.

What difference does it make to you that Mary was a virgin after she gave birth to Our Lord?

Why is it so important to YOU to deny this and to deny the writings of Early Christians?

Doesn't the conundrum of the term sola scriptura which is not IN scripture confuse you enough?
