The first thing to be asked regarding the idea of the perpetual virginity of Mary the mother of Jesus is this: what biblical evidence is there that she remained a virgin? Does the Bible teach that her maidenhead was miraculously preserved during the birth process? Does the Bible teach that she and Joseph abstained from sexual intercourse after she had given birth and observed the forty days of ritual purification? The unequivocal answer to these questions is "No, there is no evidence whatsoever in the Bible that Mary remained a virgin either in the biological sense after giving birth, or in the sense of sexual relations after the forty days of purification."
Give me a statement from the Bible that Mary remained a virgin after she was actually married to Joseph, and I will mail you a check for one thousand dollars.
