I am one who believes she was a virgin.
The Old Testament prophecy uses a word that only means (in the original Hebrew) she was a young unmarried maiden. Yet, in the New Testament Greek, the word definitely and specifically means a young maiden who has never known a man.., what we would call a virgin. That is the facts and you can criticize, refuse or accept. End of matter..., Mary WAS a young, unmarried, virgin when all the evidence is in when she conceived by the Holy Spirit, carried the child Jesus and birthed Him. After she and Joseph had children by obvious natural means of sexual intercourse, she was no longer a virgin.

Most all do !!! How about you ?
Here are some facts for you to consider in your trip thru life !!!
http://www.carm.org/doctrine/100truths.h...
Here is some fulfilling prophesies that we are now living in !!!
A. Some would depart from the faith and go into devil worship-1 Tim 4:1.
B. People would mock about the last days and not believe-2 Pe 3:3; Jude 18.
C. People would become lovers of themselves-2 Tim 3:1,2.
D. People would be disobeying their parents-2 Tim 3:1,2.
E. People would be grateful for nothing-2 Tim 3:1,2.
F. Homosexuality would increase-Lk 17:28,30; ref Gen 19:5; Ro 1:24,26,27.
G. People would be without self-control in sex-2 Tim 3:1,2,6; Rev 9:21, Lk 17:28,30; Jude 7. Is this not the great sex generation?
H. People would love pleasures more than God-2 Tim 3:1,2,4. Remember, these were all predicted centuries ago as part of the signs that we are at the time of the end.
I.People would be taking drugs-Rev 9:21. The Greek word for sorceries, in Rev 9:21, means pharmaceuticals or drugs.
Note: Fifty years ago, many people seldom locked their doors at night. There was little or no profanity on television, radio, or in the movies. One of the biggest problems in public school was gum chewing. Those days are long gone.

[Rom 5:8] But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
[1John 1:8] If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
[1John 1:9] If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
[Rom 10:9] That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
[Rom 10:10] For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
[Mat 10:32] Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.

Protestants and Catholics both are called Christians. According to Christianity the Bible states Mary was a virgin. To be a christian is to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ and the Bible (which is the comforter).

All Catholics do(if they do not they are not Catholic) and any real follower of Jesus in the church traditions of Luther,Calvin,Wesley and the like Protestants believe in the Virginal Conception of Jesus in Mary
How can one claim to take the NT seriously and not accept that teaching? Ido not know.

Anyone who believes that story needs to believe in Zeus. It is an absolute myth made up from all the mythology of earlier days. Anyone who thinks otherwise has never read mythology and should belong to a religion because they were created [?] mentally imperfect. Church's love that mentality.

X,
I am a Non-Denominational Christian who follows only the Bible and I believe that Mary was of Virgin Birth. I believe that the WORD of GOD is all True and that we need to study it thoroughly each and every day. Have a great weekend.
Thanks,
Eds

Just about all of them, because that's what the Bible says.
Ask who believes that Mary was a virgin throughout her life, and suddenly that figure drops dramatically.

I believe that Mary was a virgin when she gave birth to Jesus. That is what the Bible says, and I believe it.

I believe that the Blessed Virgin Mary is Ever-Virgin and that she was Immaculately conceived (existed all her life without original or personal sin).

I believe that she was a virgin when she had Jesus. The story is that she was pure in the eyes of God. That is why he chose her.
I think that after Jesus, she had more children. The Catholic faith sees her a an eternal virgin.
