Mark 7:5-7 from what Google says. I had seen that someone requested Scripture and thought I would post it in here.

So why debate the topic if it does not matter in your theology?

Because I like to learn things.

Unfortunately, all I've learned (again) is that Catholic Church has no basis for their belief that Mary had to remain a virgin after she had Jesus.

From all scripture talks about regarding marriage, it would make much more sense for her and Joseph to be married in all ways, not just in name.

[MENTION=43]psalms 91[/MENTION] : To everybody who says it does not matter if Blessed Mary is ever virgin or not - given that the 66 book bible apparently says nothing about the matter - yet is debating in the thread to say that the Blessed Virgin Mary is the physical mother of the brethren of the Lord.

Debating is different from stating. It is a ordinary Jewish girl who like many before her considered a quiverful a fulfilling obligation..

Joseph's quiver was only 2 children. I have a quiver of one child. It is what God has blessed Joseph from the OT with and it's what He has blessed me with. It's very possible that Mary is like me, blessed with one child in her quiver. We just do not know 100%.

The quiver was a male's image. The virgin daughter of Zion has no quiver.

We know the thought though, to not hqave children was considered a curse and they were commanded to be fruitful

Blessed Mary had the one and only child that Israel longed for and who all the child bearing was geared towards. Jesus is the Messiah, the Holy One of Israel in flesh and thus Blessed Mary is the pinnacle and fulfilment of all Israel's longing from the time of Abraham (in truth from the time of Adam) until the coming of Messiah. Blessed Mary needed no more children to be fulfilled completely.

Still doesn't mean she stayed a virgin. There's nothing accomplished by her remaining a virgin.

She's in heaven now. Who cares? Obviously a lot of people. I don't care. Corrie ten Boom is one. Noone ever talks about that.

I care about truth and when I see it skewed and I know it I will call it out every time

Exactly - if one does not care why make such a fuss about it when somebody else does care? But I guess we live in an age where everybody has an opinion and demands to be heard (if they are from the West anyway).

The truth in this matter is what exactly?

That the answer isnt clear either way but scripture leans more to her not remaing virgin than that she did

If that's how you see it then why are you debating against Blessed Mary being ever virgin, for your theology it does not matter so why waste your time on it?

Because you are pushing a faulty fact as actual fact, it promotes flsehood
