Did the Blessed Mother Mary lose her virginity when she birthed the Blessed Baby Jesus?

Question

After Jesus raised from the dead, he had a new everlasting body that could go through walls. When He was born a baby Jesus, He had to be birthed the natural way, because of His humanity.

Answer 1

Are you asking if she broke her hymen during birth? Then the answer is yes, she would have had to of.

Answer 2

Virginity is lost by having sex, not by giving birth. According to Matthew 1:18-25 Joseph, the husband of Mary, married her but did not consummate the marriage until after she had given birth to Jesus. The implication is that afterwards he did have sex with her, which is to be expected since they were married.

Jesus is mentioned as having brothers and sisters (Matthew 13:55-56; Mark 6:3; Matthew 12:46-47; Mark 3:31-32; Luke 8:19-20; John 2:12; Acts 1:14), so unless these were all offspring of Joseph from a previous marriage, Mary must have been not a virgin any more when she had them.

Answer 3

No. Jesus exited from the side of Mary- A Miracle- God knew of Marys' vow of chastity which she kept her entire life as did Joseph out of respect for Her. Now thats love. Jesus had no siblings. Brother or sister in those times meant cousins.

Answer 4

Er, uh... That kinda depends on how you define virginity. Jesus DID pass through, so in that sense, yes. But as to her husband entering her, that's up for debate. Some evidence suggests that she was a sworn virgin, and that would have been a lifelong commitment.

Answer 5

Not according to Catholic teaching, Eastern Orthodox teaching, and early Christian writings such as the Protoevangelium of James. Being God, Jesus can pass through doors that are shut, as He demonstrated again later in life: "And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you." (John 20:26)

Answer 6

Mary, most likely did not retain virginity throughout her life like catholic tradition will teach. Jesus has brothers and most likely they came from the womb of Mary. There is no theological/biblical reason to assert that Mary must retain her virginity.

She also died a normal death and did not ascend into heaven as some Catholic teachings suggest. You don't see that in the Bible do you? I think it would make it in if that did happen.

Answer 7

THANK YOU! For asking. It's funny, but just the other day something made me wonder about this. Ok, not about "losing her virginity" per se, but I thought to myself "it's so much better to lose it ahead of time - the way we all do, because if you have to give birth AND have your hymen broken on the way out... OUCH!"

Answer 8

Physically he probably did rip her hymen therefor making her a non-virgin. But he did not take her virginity as a man would take from a woman.

Answer 9

Probably. I don't think anyone inspected her, though. What difference does it make, except in Catholic tradition that Mary remained a virgin... I don't believe that is taught in the first century.

Answer 10

Nope, she didn't, thats why Mary is called 'The Virgin Mary', she became pregnant with-out having 'sex', but joseph (or who-ever it was) was assigned to become the dad of Mary's baby Jesus.

Hope i kind-of helped....(*_*)
