Well if Mary wasn't a virgin, then Jesus isn't the fulfillment of Genesis 3:15 or Isaiah where the sign of the Savior is that a virgin shall give birth.
See Jesus had to be born without sin nature that is passed on through the mans seed. Jesus is the Seed of the Woman.
He defeated the Serpent & death, by raising from the dead, so we will raise from the dead also.
The virgin birth, is a foundational truth of the Christian Church. It can't be denied, or there isn't any resurrection/ victory over death. And if there is no resurrection Christianity is vanity.

When she became pregnant with Jesus, she was a virgin. After Jesus's birth, then obviously she lost her virginity, unlike the Catholic Church's Belief that she's a virgin forever. The bible even tells us Jesus had other brothers. This means that Mary had more children with Joseph. But yeah, she was a virgin when she became pregnant with Jesus, and that's not up to what we think, it's about the facts of the Bible Passage.

This is a common explanation based on the birth narratives in the New Testament, but they are relatively late additions to the Gospel tradition. Our earliest sources have no such stories, and so the most likely historical scenario is that Jesus was the son of his purported father, Joseph.
You may also find my recent article in the Journal for the Study of the Historical Jesus interesting. The title is "Was Jesus Illegitimate?"

Because the word from Aramaic and Hebrew could also just mean "young" and not necessarily virgin.
Then, there is also in Isaiah 14:12-17 that says the "Morning Star" (Jesus said he is "the bright morning star" in Rev.22:16) is the Son of the Dawn or Son of the Morning which means the Morning Star is a Son of a young maiden. Poetically, human life has three stages like Morning meaning young, Noon is the adult life and Sunset is old age part of our lives.

This is a common mistranslation. The original text used a term equivalent to the English 'maiden'. And the term 'maiden' didn't mean the same thing that 'virgin' means now. A maiden was simply a young girl who wasn't married.

She was a virgin and she got pregnant from the Holy spirit. The HS is a bodyless creature, it cannot rip apart your vaginal protection layer. But I guess it can *** inside you. Anyway, virginity is really not that important, so what if she wasn't a virgin?

I believe she was. If I didn't, there would be no need for Christianity. Adam's sin(human nature, if you will) was passed down seminally. Only via "Immaculate Conception" was Christ able to avoid sin "on" Him. He dealt with the temptations of the flesh, that therefore there was no sin "in" Him. If He were not ENTIRELY free of sin, we would have no Jacob's Ladder, no mediator between God and man. Read the Bible.

She was a virgin when Jesus was born. After His birth, she gave regular birth to His siblings.
