Read this very carefully......
I. DON’T. CARE. WHAT. MEN. SAY.
I care what the Spirit of God tells us in Scripture.
You can name drop all you want as if you think that means anything to me or has any influence on what I think.
I don’t follow men, and I especially don’t follow them when they are proved wrong by Scripture.
And the SPIRIT tells us that Joseph told Mary AS HIS WIFE, that he did not know her until AFTER she gave birth to Jesus, that Jesus had brothers and sisters and goes on to name the brothers by name.
Scripture is posted once already and it will not benefit anyone who chooses to ignore it to post it again.
Mary needed to be virgin at the time of Jesus’ birth. After that, it didn’t matter in the least. There was no prophecy that she needed to be perpetually virgin and nothing that indicates that she was. She did not sin by having sex with Joseph, even though the thought gives Catholics the vapors.
