Mary,
Again you have committed a
Genetic Fallacy (the Fallacy of Origins). It is erroneous reasoning. We cannot have a logical discussion when you do this.
As that link demonstrates, the Genetic Fallacy bases its claim for truth on the origin of the claim. Here you have asked if St Augustine got it wrong or did I get it wrong?
The logical form of this argument is:
- The origin of the claim of Mary's perpetual virginity is presented - St Augustine or OzSpen;
- Therefore the claim is true or false.
The fact that St Augustine taught the perpetual virginity of Mary, does not make the perpetual virginity the truth. That St Augustine taught this is irrelevant to the claim that the perpetual virginity is correct.
We need to present the evidence from Scripture and not from St Augustine, Luther, Calvin or John Wesley.
