Not found in Scripture.
She carried the Second Person of the Holy Trinity for nine months.
She carried God with us for nine months.
She was not the source of the Second person of the Trinity. He always existed.
Her soul and her body were - and remain - holy and united to God in an intimate way.
Christ dwells in the heart of every believer in a far more intimate way than simple physical contact does. The body of the believer is the Temple of the Holy Spirit. That's far more intimate than just carrying a child.
In the Old Testament the Ark of the Covenant was so holy that men were struck down for simply touching it.
Then why didn't people drop dead when Jesus touched them or they touched Jesus?
Understand that Mary brought Christ to mankind. She was set aside by God almighty.
Nope, bringing Jesus to mankind was GOD's work not Mary's.
She was a Jewish virgin of the correct lineage to fulfill prophecy.
Since God is no respecter of persons, He did not choose her for any redeeming virtue she had.
People (and things) that are devoted to holy purposes are not suitable for natural purposes.
Sure they are. All believers, the born again, saved by Christ, are holy, set apart for God. Does that mean that none of them can have sex?
The sacrament of marriage is good and so is the procreation of children. Yet Mary’s condition and office as the Mother of the Son of God set her apart so that she and Joseph would not and did not enjoy the natural good of conjugal relations.
Unadulterated, not supported by Scripture in the least, nonsense. A complete fabrication of man's imagination.
She was set aside for God. Joseph understood that. Other Christians have understood that for two millennia.
No, Joseph did not understand that. God had to tell him to not be afraid to take Mary as his WIFE.
That includes sex.
Why do Catholics think so low of sex that it's wrong for Mary to have had it with Joseph?
Believing that 'Mary and Joseph must have had sex' - with no evidence! - simply reveals a colossal lack of understanding of what the Incarnation is.
With plenty of Scriptural substantiation. The Incarnation has nothing to do with whether Mary and Joseph had sex after Jesus was born. And Mary and Joseph having sex after Jesus was born has nothing to do with the Incarnation. The Incarnation does not hang on Mary's perpetual virginity.
