See Hilary of Poitiers.

And was there not a "Virgin: Yes or No" thread just posted?
 
Why yes. Yes there was.

But I'm guessing marshmalllow felt the need to counter the Biblical viewpoint with the Catholic viewpoint.

OK. Sure. What book of the Bible is Hilary of Poitiers in?

Yes, I noticed that, too. But not one bit of biblical support was provided.

Which book of the Roman Catholic Bible is that?

Do you expect every truth to be in Scripture?

If you do, then please show me a scriptural verse for that.

If she stayed a virgin after Jesus then she was unfaithful to her husband.

All truth needed to believe the gospel and grow fully in grace is contained in Scripture.

This thread has become an inadvertent IQ test, apparently.

Each reply seems to be a cognitive fail.

Further proof that most anti-Catholics are products of government schools.

From the other thread....


If Mary remained a virgin all of her life then Joseph was a pretty pathetic husband.

There are scripture references in English translations that mention Jesus had brothers and sisters - such as James, Judas, Simon ...

But in all fairness, I understand the original words used for “brethren” is ambiguous and could mean a male relative - and you see such ambiguity throughout Scriptures.

By the way, I am a Protestant, and appreciate the link to Church Fathers. Before the Reformation, the Catholic Church was the Christian Church in the Middle Ages. And to ignore that fact would be to ignore much of our history.

The Holy Spirit - since He overshadowed her - acted as her spouse and she was in fact very faithful to Him.

Also, Joseph was an upright and righteous man. He would not go where he didn’t belong.

I see no general principle in the Bible that values virginity over fruitfulness. Just the opposite.

That’s not what I asked. Are ALL TRUTHS in Scripture?

The answer must be no.

Absolutely. Rock solid doctrine.

The Holy Spirit - since He overshadowed her - acted as her spouse and she was in fact very faithful to Him.

Then, after Jesus was born she had her whole life to live.
