Virgin Mary had other Children After Jesus.
Virgin Mary remained a Virgin.
Mary was naturally born without sin.
Mary committed no sin.
Mary was Bodily taken to Heaven.
A Catholic believes these things, and takes offense toward others who do not agree with these things.
Point is:
A Catholic can not show a Scripture, that says these things.
A non-Catholic can not "show" these things are "not written."
It is historically known that TRADITIONS of men play a great part in what people Believe from generation to generation.
Believing TRADITIONS of men...are NOT a Basis for receiving the Gift of Faith from God, or a Saved soul, or Quickened spirit.
Believing DOCTRINES of men...are NOT a basic for receiving the Gift of Faith from God, or a Saved soul or Quickened spirit.
There are TRADITIONS of men.
There are DOCTRINES of men.
Mark 7
[13] Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
Col 2
[8] Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
2John 1:[9] Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in thedoctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in thedoctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
Just saying...defending a Tradition or Doctrine that IS "NOT of The Lord God"...is Fruitless.
Glory to God,
