Virginity of Mary

Mark 3:32 - And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.


One of the biggest lies by the early Church is about Mary remaining Virgin even after birth of Jesus. One should understand Joseph was engaged to Mary and that engagements are solemn commitments among Jews and even before Joseph and Mary came together in marriage Mary was expecting. In the Jewish tradition marriage is considered complete when the bride and groom come to know each other, that is when they have physical relationship with each other which goes on for even 7 days in some Jewish traditional marriages. This is the reason the world called Joseph the father of Jesus but Jesus never did since the actual marriage between Mary and Joseph happened only after the birth of Jesus.

We should understand marriage is not commenced when a couple take a vow before God but then they come to know each other abiding by the commandment of God as a husband and wife. A marriage without a child is not a blessed marriage and such couples need to make peace with God. My marriage too had this problem and when I understood this we were blessed with a child therefore named her Salome which means 'peace', the peace which we made with God through Jesus Christ.

The scriptures clearly state that Mary and Joseph came to know each other after the birth of Jesus (Matt 1:25) which confirms that she was not a virgin after the birth of Jesus. The scriptures also state in many places that their marriage was a blessed marriage and that they had many children of which 4 of the sons' names are given and also states more than 2 daughters.

When a Catholic priest is asked about these persons they will give answer as they were his cousins. One should point to them that John the Baptist was a cousin of Jesus and no place in the Bible he has been introduced as brethren of Jesus.

Two of the brothers of Jesus through Mary were very involved in the early Church and they their letters are included in the Bible, they are Jude and James. Jude or Juha or Juhas was one of the twelve disciples whom Jesus chose. About James history states that James was involved in organizing the collecting of Manuscripts into the caves off the Dead Sea which are today known as the Dead Sea Scrolls. Found in 1940s, they are a total collection of the Old Testament and some parts of the New Testament. They are considered a very important proof for Christians showing the authentic copy of the uncorrupted text, especially the Old Testament.

Like Jesus even James became a victim of the Jews Church and it was soon after his dead the disaster of Jerusalem in 70AD had taken place.

This lie of Mary is part of the many other lies which are intentional to make people worship her like a god. This is the schematic plan of Satan the Beast to get the people destroyed by making sure they do not enter Heaven. Among these are lies about she ascending to Heaven, she appearing to people, she interceding for people's prayers, she is the mother of the church, she was born without sin and she has a special place in Heaven.

Please do not confuse the Mary which the RC church has created with Mary the mother of Jesus. Mary the mother of Jesus was a special and blessed person in the plan of God and the Mary which the RC Church promotes is an instrument of Satan to destroy the people of God. The Mary of the Catholic Church is also stated in the Quran and a proof of what I am speaking because it is the Quran that also denies Jesus as God the Son Who became Son of God and Son of man.


[ Prayer Starter ]
Lord, the deceiver is the father of lies and comes to rob and destroy. He has been sowing seed of lies into generations after generations of people who come to know You and he misleads them to destruction by making them goats instead of sheep. Lord, we bind the powers that he holds on these people and by your Light we expose his deceit. We break the yoke he has on the people that are yours and still under his spell...

This we speak in Jesus' Name, Amen.
