Defending Mary's Perpetual Virginity - Dr Miravalle: MCast 39

Virginity is a sign of consecration to God, not a negation of the gift of one's sexuality.  That gift is so great that to offer it back to God, as Our Lady did, is a great sacrifice, and sacrifice is the hallmark of true love.  Listen to this episode of MaryCast

Marriage is sacred to God. That is why the bible goes as far as comparing Church as a bride of Jesus Christ. There is no bigger union than marriage other than our covenant with God. Do you know that in the book of Job God only tells the devil not to kill Job. The devil kills off his children but he never lays a hand on his wife. The devil knows to hurt Job's wife is to hurt Job himself. "and the two should become one". Now, you tell me how your lies fit in God's plan? She was Joseph's "WIFE".

This is what is dangerous about the teachings of the catholic church. Come on brothers and sisters. Stop listening to false teachings and read the bible for yourselves. If their teachings about Mary were true, they would not have to twist the word of God to make their teachings sound true. I grew up catholic and I knew more about Mary than I did about the one that matter, Jesus. Plain and simple, she had a husband and the bible saids that husbands and wives should not denied themselves.

Matt. 1:24-25 And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hatch this man this wisdom, and these mighty works? Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? And his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? And his sisters, are they not all with us?

Gal. 1:19 But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother.

@Onetruthrgv She married Joseph so that Jesus would be a descendant of David, in order to fulfill the prophecies.

I will refute this with one verse "Marriage [is] honorable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whore mongers and adulterers God will judge"

[Seraphim1974]

From the Blue Letter Bible online: Mark 6:2 And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing [him] were astonished, saying, From whence hath this [man] these things? and what wisdom [is] this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands? Mark 6:3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.

noticed down further u say that is a false statement Matt 1:25..states before that he took her home as his wife so they "knew" one another as in personal relationship,so u know damn well how "know" was intended,stop deceiving yourself!!!

2 Tim 3:16 "All scripture is God-breathed ".Matt 1:18 " Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph,but before they came together,she was found to be with child Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man he did not want to expose her public disgrace,he had a mind to divorce her quietly."..In jewish tradition engaged=married,explains impending union/divorce cert.she had intentions of sex.Matt 1:25"But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a son."Doesn't get clearer than that.....

This makes no sense to me. If Mary knew she was going to keep her virginity, why did she take a husband? Usualy, people who stay virgins and devote themselves to God don't bother with that. Not to say that's the only reason people get married, it's just that God intended a married couple come together. I mean, I'm sure he wouldn't care if if someone got married and then never slept with their partner, it just seems really odd.
