Her virginity before the birth of our Savior is important. After-wards, not so much. Look at it this way; Joseph married a cute young wife, chosen by God to carry Himself into the world as the path to salvation. What purpose would be served for God denying Joseph marital discourse with his cute young wife after Jesus' birth. Would her abstinence give her mystical powers, like the Lancelot myths?
RnMomof7, thank you for making a stand.
Incidentally, I believe Mary, the mother of Jesus and wife of Joseph could not transform into a giant battle robot. If certain individuals think this belief is blasphemous, I don't want to be right.
For the sake of Judith ann, I'll explain. Ridiculous statements invite reticule.
And to Freedumb2003, it's not the color of the skin, nor the nation of origin, but the content of character. I hope this makes sense to you but I have little hope for your comprehension. This isn't personal, but you seem to be a total and utter smeg head.
Why before birth and not afterwards? Doesn’t that make the Virgin Birth a mere “sign” of Jesus’ divinity? Actually half-divinity, like Heracles or Achilles?
That my friend is the point.. The virgin birth is supported by the inspired, infallible word of God.
Mary contributed the humanity of Christ , the line of David to the King of kings and Lord of lords.. She was a very special woman ...but not sinless
