1 | Was Mary a virgin her whole life | Matt 1:25 | srbaegon | 47596 | ||
Hello jawz You are trying to apply logic of formal language to informal use. It simply will not stand up. If we were talking Classical Greek, you may have a case, but it's Koine. These same difficulties occur between formal English and regional slang. You refer to four passages and conclude that the answers to your questions are all "no". I respectfully disagree and conlude the answers are all "yes" for the following reasons. Psalm 72:7 -- The context is the desire for everlasting righteousness. If the moon ceases, then righteousness will have ceased. 1 Cor 15:25 -- 1 Cor 15:28 states that the Lord is subjected to the Father after all things are brought into subjection to Christ. Psalm 123:2 -- The context is a longing for the Lord to show mercy because of the great scorn and contempt they are receiving. For what the psalmist is going through, the showing of God's mercy will be the end. Matt 28:18-20 -- At the end of the age, He will not be with us because we will be with Him. Steve |

2 | Was Mary a virgin her whole life | Matt 1:25 | Ray | 47606 | ||
Hi Steve, Jawz will not disagree with you. At least I would be surprised if he/she does. The point was being made that Mary was "kept a virgin" to the very end, however. Here is where you would possibly disagree. I think that it would be appropriate here to point out that "kept her a virgin" literally means "was not knowing her" until she gave birth. My Interlinear, Jay P. Green, Editor, reads for Matthew l:25, "and did not know her until she bore her son, the First-born. And he called His name Jesus." Here we see the humanity of Christ and the divinity of the First-born. It was her son and His Son. Amen? From the heart, Ray |
