Christians and Catholics You Still Believe Mary was a virgin when many people say it was a translation error?
It was mistranslated from the word 'Almah' meaning young woman. There are still many people who believe that there was immaculate conception. Here is a link to lil missy: http://www.2think.org/hii/virgin.shtml
- Ooops - It seems that Mary was not necessarily a virgin after all. Are you gutted Catholics?
- Do you think the thousands of people (Catholics, Copts, Muslims, and atheists) who saw the Virgin Mary in the Top
- Do you think that the Immaculate Conception was the birth of the Virgin?
- Why so many people respond that if the Roman Catholics Christians 1?
- Catholics: If the Virgin Mary was born of an Immaculate Conception and his mother and grandmother?
The sad thing is that some people have no faith, and resent that others do. Coming out of their way to attack and destroy what is good. In this case there is no translation error is very clear what it means. Just another case of man against God.
Do not bother anybody, but if it wern't that is to get rid of all the works of Christ? I mean … if literally means, "Young", which would demand that Jesus was the Son of God? I believe in God, believe that Jesus is the only son of God, I'm not saying … asking.

I think that Mary might have been literally a virgin. There was a "virgin" birth of shark this week. See link. This could also happen in humans? I'm not a scientist, but it is interesting. For humans, I think you need to have faith and we will not really know the truth, until our time here on earth is over.
Peace, love and blessings

I have not heard this before. Would you like to explain more?
Well I read the link. It is written by an atheist, so of course it will be opposite.
The point is that Mary was a virgin, though betrothed to Joseph, a man was not known. She was pregnant by the Holy Spirit.
Yes, because atheists tend to do, turn from the queue, do not believe that Jesus existed, what on earth is the point of this bit of nonsense?
I know I was single, but not a virgin. The point of the story despite being a bastard, he was the greatest man that ever walked the earth.
Being a woman who had several children, never thought that Mary conceived without the help of an earthly man, unless Jesus body was only shooting at 23 chromosomes.
Catholics are Christians.
Yes
Even if you translate the word as a "young unmarried girl" instead of "virgin", the assumption that all young unmarried girls are still virgins.
With love in Christ.
I think the only correct interpretation of Isaiah 7:14 and Matthew 1:18 is that Mary, mother of Jesus was a virgin at the birth of Jesus.
Of course I do, that said it was a translation error? give me the link
People can call a translation error. People can draw whatever they want. What people think is less of an interest of mine that what God thinks. God says, through the Scriptures, Virgin Mary is always:
Virgin Mary is always
Exodus 13:2,12 - Jesus, who is sometimes called the "first-born son of Mary. But "first born" is a common Jewish expression meaning the first child to open the womb. It has nothing to do with children's mother.
Exodus 34:20 - under the Mosaic Law, the "first-born son had to be sanctified. "First born" status does not require a "second" born.
Ezekiel. 44:2 - Ezekiel prophesies that no one passing through the gateway through which the Lord entered the world. This is a prophecy of the perpetual virginity of Mary. Mary remained a virgin before, during and after the birth of Jesus.
Mark 6:3 - Jesus was always referred to as the "son of Mary, not" a "son of Mary. Also "brothers" in theory could have been children of Joseph who was a previous marriage dissolved by death. However, it is likely, perhaps most true, that Joseph was a virgin, as were Jesus and Mary. As such, it embodies the true Holy Family, totally devoted to God.
Luke 1:31,34 - the angel tells Mary that "will" design (using the future tense). Mary told her: "How is it possible?" Mary's response demonstrates that she had taken a vow of virginity for life because they have no intention of having sex with a man. If Mary had no such vow of lifelong virginity, her question would make no sense at all (so we can assume he knew how to conceive a child). She was a virgin consecrated as the church was an acceptable custom of the time.
Luke 2:41-51 - in a quest to find Jesus, and Him in the temple, there is never any mention of other siblings.
John 7:3-4, Mark 3:21 - we see that the young "brothers" were advising Jesus. But this would have been very disrespectful to devout Jews if they were biological brothers of Jesus.
John 19:26-27 - Jesus would have been unthinkable to commit the care of his mother to a friend if he had siblings.
John 19:25 - The following verses show that James and Joseph are Jesus' brothers and not their cousins: Mary, the wife of Cleophas is the sister of the Virgin Mary.
Matt. 27:61, 28:1 - including Matthew refers to Mary, the wife of Cleophas as "the other Mary."
Matt. 27:56, Mark 15:47 - Mary the wife of Cleophas is the mother of James and Joseph.
Mark 6:3 - James and Joseph are called "brothers" of Jesus. Therefore, James and Joseph are Jesus' cousins.
Matt. 10:3 - also called James the son of Alphaeus. " This does not disprove that James is the son of Cleophas. The name may be for Alpheus Cleophas Aramaic or Greek name was James and Saul (Paul), and Mary remarried a man named Alphaeus.
There are passages in Matthew and Romans who are popularly misunderstood to indicate Mary was a virgin:
Misunderstanding about Matthew 1:25 (Joseph knew "until you")
Matt. 1:25 - this verse says Joseph knew "until they (HEOS" in Greek) "she was a child. Some Protestants argue that this shows the relationship with Jose Maria after she had a son. This is a misreading of the text because "not until" does not mean "not until after …". "HEOS" refers to the past, never the future. However, not until she had a son means "not to the point that" she had a son. This confirms that Mary was a virgin when she had Jesus. Here are other texts that show that "not until" means "not to the extent that:
Matt. 28:29 - I am with you until the end of the world. " This does not mean that Jesus is not with us after the end of the world.
Luke 1:80 - John in the desert until his manifestation to Israel. "John was not in the desert until after" his manifestation.
Luke 2:37 - Anna was a widow "to the extent that was eighty-four years. She was a widow after eighty-four years.
Luke 20:43 - Jesus said, "take your seat next to me until I have your toes to your enemies." Jesus is not going to require the apostles to sit at his left hand after their enemies are their feet.
1 Tim. 4:13 - "to the point where I come," attend to teaching and preaching. This does not mean do nothing "until after" I come.
Gen. 8:7 - the raven flew back and forth "to the point" [until] the waters of the dry land. The raven did not start flying after the waters dried.
Gen. 28:15 - the Lord will not leave Jacob "up to the point that" he does His promise. This does not mean that the Lord will leave Jacob later.
Deut. 34:6 - but "to the point today," nobody knows Moses burial. This does not mean that the place did not know until today. "
2 Sam. 6:23 - Saul was the daughter of Micah children "so far" [until] her death. She was not with the child after his death.
1 macc. 5:54 - no one was killed "to the point" in peace again. They were killed after they returned in peace.
Mary in the Bible is free of sin - to get rid of all their mistakes and repent or be cast into the lake of fire (Revelation 21:8).
Mary did not die a virgin. No man or woman can take.
He is known throughout Scripture that she was a virgin these "people" who say that say it is a "mistranslation" are just ignorant on the subject
People who refer back to all Bibble,
Think you could relate to, other Bibble?
Ie as if I do not believe ask my wife kind of thing.
OK, so what? Mary was a virgin birth, namely Christianity, which does not have a child conceived by sexual intercourse with a person.
Clearly, she was a virgin. The virgin birth was in the prophecy, even before it happened. See Isaiah 7:14
Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and have a son and call his name Emmanuel.
It was a translation error that too?
