**Mary was a sinner, and had other children. **

In error....so much for truth for Protestants.

What "truth" is it you mean? You just got done saying words like probably and might have and maybe. You - nor anyone else KNOWS for sure that Mary was a perpetual virgin and never had sexual relations with her husband Joseph. You don't KNOW that those the Bible calls Jesus' brothers and sisters weren't his half siblings, do you? All you have is late date declarations from your church magesterium that say so and they have next to nothing with which to base it on other than they say it is so so it must be so. Where do Catholics get off accusing "Protestants" of lying about such things when they don't base their own beliefs on facts?

Here's a newsflash...if the Bible taught these things about Mary that Catholics scream up and down are the truths, I and probably most all Christians would accept them, too. But it doesn't. If these dogmas were so essential for the Christian faith, God would have included them in Scripture. He didn't. Just might be a reason for that.

Ahh, more protestant bashing. How common. Can you prove your implied rejection of what the poster wrote, or are you just parroting the mindset learned from the magicsteeringthem?

As I said, you will have to deal with it. I am not changing my thinking. Would you like to discuss Heaven and Hell? Now THAT, is truly important.

"For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God" Rom. 3:23

All have sinned. Show me where, in Scripture, anyone OTHER than Christ was sinless.... Or where Mary is specifically stated to be sinless and / or a perpetual virgin.

Even Mary knew she needed a savior. She said so!
