Ⅱ Virginity after birth

Ⅱ Virginity after birth

The third stage in the virginity of Our Lady Maria is the life after Jesus Christ. It is the creed of faith of the Catholic Church that the Lady was maiden to the end for a lifetime. The Protestant church likewise believed in the beginning as well.

'Schmalkalden In the Declaration of Faith is being called' Eternal maiden St. Mary '. However, the theology and modern Protestant theology and Biblical scholars claim that Our Lady Maria had children other than Jesus during marriage. The reason is in the phrase "Brothers of Jesus" in the Gospel. "Is not this a carpenter's child, my mother is Mary, and my brothers are James, Joseph, Simon, Judas, and all of the sisters are also with us?"
(Matthew Thirteen, 54-56). This expression of "brother of the Lord" is not only in the Gospel. It also comes out in Paul's letter.

* Matthew Twelve 26 - 50, Thirteen 55 - 56, Mark Three 31 - 35, Six 3, Luca Eight 19 - 21, John Two12, Seven 3 - 5, 9 -10 Acts of the Apostles One 14, Galatians One 19, Corinthians Nine 5.

The opinions of the Catholic side and the Protestant side are separated in the interpretation of the Greek word "brothers and sisters". Interpretation On the Catholic side, this meaning is taken broadly, it is said to relatives. There is a reason for this. In Hebrew and Alamea of those days, brothers and sisters were used not only for the family relationship in the narrow sense of the present but also for the relations of relatives in a broader sense, such as nephews and niece. In the Bible, it was directly translated into Greek as it was. Then it came to be taken in a narrow meaning of only Greek from people who do not know the broad meaning in the original Hebrew. This explanation is correct in terms of linguistics. Actually in the Old Testament Abram and Lot, Laban and Jacob, Nadab and Abib, etc. are all called brothers and sisters. None are just relatives, not real brothers. Then in the old Greek translation, they are all brothers and sisters. In Greek there is another word that expresses relationships of nephews and nieces, but they still translate as brothers.
