just childish nonsense that was created as a means to explain the world in a time of simplicity and ignorance. The human race is now evolving beyond it through science and it's about time

It's in the Bible:
Mary is Ever Virgin
Exodus 13:2,12 - Jesus is sometimes referred to as the "first-born" son of Mary. But "first-born" is a common Jewish expression meaning the first child to open the womb. It has nothing to do the mother having future children.
Exodus 34:20 - under the Mosaic law, the "first-born" son had to be sanctified. "First-born" status does not require a "second" born.
Ezek. 44:2 - Ezekiel prophesies that no man shall pass through the gate by which the Lord entered the world. This is a prophecy of Mary's perpetual virginity. Mary remained a virgin before, during and after the birth of Jesus.
Mark 6:3 - Jesus was always referred to as "the" son of Mary, not "a" son of Mary. Also "brothers" could have theoretically been Joseph's children from a former marriage that was dissolved by death. However, it is most likely, perhaps most certainly, that Joseph was a virgin, just as were Jesus and Mary. As such, they embodied the true Holy Family, fully consecrated to God.
Luke 1:31,34 - the angel tells Mary that you "will" conceive (using the future tense). Mary responds by saying, "How shall this be?" Mary's response demonstrates that she had taken a vow of lifelong virginity by having no intention to have relations with a man. If Mary did not take such a vow of lifelong virginity, her question would make no sense at all (for we can assume she knew how a child is conceived). She was a consecrated Temple virgin as was an acceptable custom of the times.
Luke 2:41-51 - in searching for Jesus and finding Him in the temple, there is never any mention of other siblings.
John 7:3-4; Mark 3:21 - we see that younger "brothers" were advising Jesus. But this would have been extremely disrespectful for devout Jews if these were Jesus' biological brothers.
John 19:26-27 - it would have been unthinkable for Jesus to commit the care of his mother to a friend if he had brothers.
John 19:25 - the following verses prove that James and Joseph are Jesus' cousins and not his brothers: Mary the wife of Clopas is the sister of the Virgin Mary.
Matt. 27:61, 28:1 - Matthew even refers to Mary the wife of Clopas as "the other Mary."
Matt. 27:56; Mark 15:47 - Mary the wife of Clopas is the mother of James and Joseph.
Mark 6:3 - James and Joseph are called the "brothers" of Jesus. So James and Joseph are Jesus' cousins.
Matt. 10:3 - James is also called the son of "Alpheus." This does not disprove that James is the son of Clopas. The name Alpheus may be Aramaic for Clopas, or James took a Greek name like Saul (Paul), or Mary remarried a man named Alpheus.

I hope you are not trying to be sarcastic, but only curious. One thing you should know is that in Israels as a nation, it is a taboo for a lady or girl to have sex before marriage. In fact if it is discovered that she is not a virgin at her wedding, she and her family could be killed, and so every lady or girl in Israel guard their virginity jealously, at least at that time and i believe it should still be the same.
It should explain why Joseph did not want to accept her after discovering she was pregnant. Let me tell you that apart from the fact that Joseph would be punished publicly for having any sexual relationship with a girl he had not gotten married to, it would be a shame to his manhood, why then did he go ahead in marrying her? Remember it is an abomination in Israel for a man to accept the child of another man. I believe he went ahead to marry her because he was convinced she was telling him the truth. He also believed what the angel told him about Jesus.
Mary's parents too that won't want to lose their lives would have investigated and examined her to make sure she is a virgin. I believe it should be easy to tell if someone is still a virgin or not by a close examination.
Mary became pregnant because the power of God had overshadowed her, Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit (Luke.1:35). And of course she married Joseph and had other children (Matthew.13:55-56).

Mary was a virgin (Luke 1:27) espoused (betrothed, engaged) to Joseph. She had not known a man before her wedding, and she was not married when she became pregnant with Jesus. Mary was favored by God (Luke 1:28 and 30). After the birth of Jesus, Joseph and Mary did have other children, though they aren't mentioned much in the Bible. One of Jesus' brothers' names was James (not the Apostle). Not sure exactly where that is, but you can go to www.biblegateway.com and do a search for it.
God is omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient. He does not need to be a virgin. He is the Alpha and the Omega. No beginning, no end. He can do whatever He wants.

the respond is extremely on your question. The VIRGIN Mary; she became nevertheless a virgin. God did no longer come down and function intercourse together with her. such as you reported, that could bypass against the full Bible and then it would be incorrect. What got here approximately is that, in easy term, the seed became "planted" interior the egg. This particularly is wise is you're a christian. God is a spirit, no longer a guy. in case you have in no way watched a horror action picture, spirits are like ghost, they have not got lots of a human form. God isn't some gray-haired guy walking down the line. he's a spirit.

Yes, Mary WAS a virgin when she had Jesus. The Bible says so, and God says so.
she then, after having Jesus, for God, married Joseph. she had sons and daughters with Joseph, so she did not die a virgin, much to the Catholic's despair lol.
James, one of Jesus's brothers, or i guess u could say, half brothers, wrote the book of James in the bible's new testament.
Yes, God is a virgin. Nor He or Jesus has had sex. they are both pure and Holy. they have more important things to do... hehe

mary was not a virgin at all just a story invented to cover up the fact that she got pregnant after being raped by a roman centurion

faith is believing what the Lord said in the Bible. You do not question God, and why is this important ? If God said this is what happened, you should just believe it, cause that is what seperate a christian from the other religions and people who want facts to cling to inherit eternal life
