Again, you are disputing the translation. Seems interesting the translation was fine for about an 1000 years, then people started having their own personal interpretation of Scripture.

Others proposed an alternate translation to fit their doctrinal needs. Multiply that by each non-Catholic denomination, and what does that get you?

Funny, nobody answers the question I asked about what non-Catholic group has the fullness of truth.

None of the major translations suggest mary was a perpetual virgin.....the DR included.

If you understand in Greek how the verb "ginosko" is used in context, this is really pretty easy.

To continue to insist otherwise is either displaying a degree of obstinacy that is resistant to reality.

I am only aware of Catholicism's claim to the perpetual virginity on Mary.

You are aware the ECFs have differing opinions on this? Right? However, I am not aware of any who reference a breakdown of the Greek in their writings on this issue.

Not even Rome has offered a breakdown of the Greek on this verse.

Try reading the LAWS God gave to us through the Hebrews coming out of Egypt. Those laws have not passed away, yet. Can you or one of the ECF your religion posts as authoritative ever found an exception clause allowing Jesus to violate the Laws He authored, on the night before He went to the Cross? Please, show us just one exception clause ... worthy of you risking your eternal spirit upon.

Seems interesting the translation was fine for about an 1000 years, then people started seeing what the 'church' had been doing for so many centuries.

Are all non-Catholics the same in their beliefs?

I wait until the warring factions WITHIN Catholicism get done first.

It wasn't, and that is why Desiderius Erasmus, the great Catholic scholar comparing the Greek to the Vulgate proclaimed it so. Though being persecuted by his RCC brethren, he compiled a very accurate Byzantine/Majority Textform, the Received Text which is still superior to the synthetic "critical" text based on corrupted documents used by Brooke Foss Westcott and Fenton John Anthony Hort (still inaccurate and constantly undergoing revision).

It is from this test that the magnificent Authorized Version of the New Testament, emerging from a council of Bible scholars and translators unmatched in history, ruled the English-speaking Protestants for four centuries. In English and German, this New Testament was the undergirding of the Reformation, of which Erasmus is called the father.

Every group, RCC or otherwise, has the Masoretic Hebrew and Received Texts, which contain aall the Truth God has revealed to the human race. It's what they do with it that counts.
