Surely.

At Luke 1:31, the angel tells Mary that she "shall" conceive a child, not that she has conceived a child. Mary is perplexed as to how this is possible because she is a virgin.

Were I to tell my virgin daughter that she would conceive a child in the future, she wouldn't be the slightest bit confused as to how this could occur. It would only be confusing to one who intended to remain a virgin.

At John 19:26-27, Christ, while hanging on the cross directs these words to his mother: Woman, behold thy son!...and directs these words to John: Behold thy mother! No obedient Jew would have delivered over his mother to a stranger for care were there living children and no Jewish children would have failed to care for their mother.

If this weren't so incredibly stupid I'd respond. Lol.

And this has to do with perpetual virginity or assumption. If you want to resume this please respond to what I asked you to and quit filabustering.
