The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum debate on Mary's Virginity

Are you sure that these are words you should say? For the Bible clearly teaches "Mary actually birthing God (The Almighty)" in Isaiah 9:6. Luke 1:35, Rev. 1:8, etc. Please be very careful with your words, for if they are taken literally, they deny the Divinity of Jesus, leaving us without a Savior. I am guessing that you thought you were saying something else, but it looks like you ended up throwing out the baby--literally!--with the bathwater.

Also, in reference to your sentence beginning "I've known more than one ...", let me urge you to refrain from making such statements, in light of Ephesians 5:12. It may be possible, and sometimes necessary, to publicly discuss sinful practices, but rarely in a non-pastoral setting, and never in reference to particular individuals. Your statement claims private knowledge of particular people indulging in particular activity--a knowledge which you should not have, much less publicly display. Rather, "keep the marriage bed pure"! In addition to all this, you should be aware that the area of sexual immortality abounds in more boastful lying by its promoters than any other area of life, so is hardly a good foundation for a doctrinal statement.
