AG: All of those truths about Mary ARE taught in Scripture, as shown in BEHOLD YOUR MOTHER by Tim Staples.
No direct or categorical and stringent proof of the dogma can be brought forward from Scripture.

Yet catholics perpetuate this false teaching in spite of this fact.
Eternal virginity: Also denied by Scripture in that Mary and Joseph had other children after Jesus was born. Paul records in Galatians 1:19 he visited James, the Lord's brother.
Matthew 1:25 notes Joseph kept her a virgin until she gave birth to Christ. If he didn't then Paul is a liar in his writing above.
If roman catholicism really believed Mary was an eternal virign they would have included the Protoevangelium of James in their canon when they had the chance at Trent. That they didn't is telling.
So there we have repudiation by Scripture of these roman catholic claims regarding Mary.
Maybe if Tim Staples knew a little Greek, knew how to read Scripture in context and ditched the contradictory writings of the ECFs he might see this.
Sadly, roman catholicism will continue to advance further false teachings on Mary when the Fifth Marian dogma is given the ok.
There just isn't enough support for it just yet.....yet.
Tim Staples is a master of eisegesis. A person without Marian presuppositions is not going to find Biblical support for the uniquely Catholic positions on Mary.

Arthur, I take you as sincere in your beliefs.
I will also assume Tim Staples is sincere.
Sincerity isn’t reason to add to the Scriptures. None of those doctrines are taught in the Scriptures. They were added as paganism crept into the church in Rome.
