Every quote I listed is from an Early Church Father. Even the most virulent Protestant scholars acknowledge them as ECFs. again - nobody ever accused YOU of being a scholar . . . As for why you can't figure out why Mary's Perpetual Virginity is important to Scripture - I suggest you read post #91.

Ummmm, the Biblical definition of Firstborn is sufficient - even to a child. And, I don't even know what a "Romanist" is. Your blind ignorance is confusing you again . . .

And you're right. Not all the Church Fathers were right about everything. I'm talking about a general and unanimous consensus on this issue (Perpetual Virginity). As for "ever virgin" being important in Scripture. you would have to understand the Type that was the Ark of the Covenant and the...

Really?? Show me where the Bible calls John the Baptism the "cousin" (anepsios) of Jesus. It DOESN'T. All it says about Elizabeth is that she was Mary's "Kinswoman" (soong-ghen-ace). Stop claiming things about Scripture that you have NO grasp of. Learn what they mean instead. As for Mary's...

That's not true. Faithful Christians won't but the rest will. Matt. 7 is all about faithful servants vs. bad servants. Matt. 7:21-23 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven. Many will say to me on...

Study your history. I apologize for assuming that you were a very young person. I guess it was your complete lack of historical dnd Scriptural knowledge that gave me this false impression. If my posts seem abrupt to you - it is simply that I have ZERO tolerance for lies - like the one YOU...

You need to study your history. The Easter Orthodox Churches were PART of the Catholic church when the canon was declared in the 4th century at the Councils of Hippo and Carthage. The East-West split didn't occur until the 11th century. Being historically and Biblically ignorant is no way to...

Let's see . . . . Jerome, who is called the "greatest" Scripture scholar who ever lived believed in the Perpetual virginity. But YOU, an obscure, angry, ignorant anti-Catholic forum poster are more qualified that Jerome?? Ummmm, I don't think so.

Explain to me how Mary remaining a virgin is "goddess worship". Show me the Catholic doctrine that teaches she is a "goddess". If you can't do either - you're just another ignorant anti-Catholic . . .

WRONG. In the examples I listed - not only do the Early Church Fathers quote the 2nd century documents Against Helvidius and the Protoevangelium of James - the "Reformers" did as well. Question: If your Protestant Fathers believed in Mary's Perpetual Virginity - why don't YOU?? If they were...

Only the "Romanists"?? Time for a historical spanking . . . Martin Luther Not only was Mary the mother of him who is born [in Bethlehem], but of him who, before the world, was eternally born of the Father, from a Mother in time and at the same time man and God. (Weimer's The Works of Luther...

I'm not twisting anything. Go to the original Greek and pull out your concordance and lexicon and you'll see that the Catholic position on Luke 1:34 is correct. I already gave you the BIBLICAL definition of "Firstborn" (Exod. 13:1-2). Are you saying the God is a liar??

You're probably right.

"alla sudden"?? Who do you think compiled and declared the canon of the Bible?? The Catholic Church, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit - about 1200 years before there ever was a Protestant. We are the original "Bible" Church . . .

The office of Bishop and was set up by Jesus - yet YOU think it's okay to do without them?? Lone Ranger Christianity was never sanctioned by Jesus and is condemned in Scripture (Heb. 10:25). Anyway - Scripture says we are Temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 6:19) - not "Cathedrals".

If you believe that Matt. 1:25 is testimony to Joseph and Mary consummating their marriage - then you have a reading comprehension problem. You also missed the explanation of "Adelphos". I suggest you go back and R*E*A*D the last few posts . . .

Because of the overwhelming, corroborative evidence i have presented from Scripture, Tradition, linguistics and history. All YOU have presented so far are the frustrated ramblings of a guy who wants to believe the exact opposite of what the Church has believed for 2000 years - and you're losing...

Nice try - but epic fail. Actually - it wasn't even a good try. It's just a failure do to poor research. As I educated you - the SAME Hebrew word (`ad) is used in all of the OT references i presented - and that word means "UNTIL". Again, you make the beginner's blunder of trying to impose your...

WRONG. I said that they were the children of the other Mary - the "Adelphe" of Mary, mother of Jesus. They were adelphoi of Jesus by relation - NOT necessarily uterine siblings. As for the woman at the cross - pay attention. THREE Mary's are named: 1. Mary, mother of Jesus 2. Mary Magdalene...
