Please do not be attacking here. This is in no way meant to cause disrespect towards any religious beliefs, nor the bible. It is merely a question.
I apologize, as I should have specified my reference to Immaculate Conception. Forgive me.
bibleprophecy: The Q is "Do you believe" I would like your opinion, not copy (cop-out)/paste from scripture. Any words of your own to share?

Yes, I do. With every fiber of my being, I believe that she was, is, and always will be The Virgin Mary.
I can offer you no proof, and it isn't in the Bible, but I believe.

I do not believe shw as a virgin.. I believe she had to be a virgin to be accepted by polytheistic heathens that would not accept a "soiled" mother of a God.. Most pagan religions during that time and before had deities born without carnal encounters.. The idea of the "immaculate conception" was a repeating themes of other worships, so to "keep up with the jones' " the mother of the new messiah had to be "without sin"..

At the time she was Pregnant for Jesus oh yeah totally considering the Males pass original Sin of Adam to children but Females do not.
So Mary had to be Pregnant through a Virgin Birth in order for Jesus to be born without Sin.

I believe that she was born a virgin and eventually lost her virginity. I do not believe that she remained a virgin until her death. If you are asking about Immaculate Conception, I'm on the fence. But, I have to concede that it was possible. All things are possible with God.

The Catholic Church believes Mary became a perpetual virgin and had no different newborn than Jesus. In oriental worldwide places, nonetheless those days, "brother" has a miles better which potential than in English : cousin, relative, distant relatives, chum, etc. Jesus became born in an oriental u . s .. The Catholic Church believes that as quickly as James is asserted as Jesus' "brother" interior the Bible, it potential cousin or relative. James would additionally be a son from Joseph from a prior mariage, or an observed son. whether, by way of passage in John 19, James is maximum in all likelihood purely a relative or chum of Jesus : John 19, 25-27 "status by potential of the pass of Jesus have been his mom and his mom's sister, Mary the spouse of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala. while Jesus observed his mom and the disciple there whom he enjoyed, he stated to his mom, "woman, behold, your son." Then he stated to the disciple, "Behold, your mom." And from that hour the disciple took her into his homestead." If Mary had had different infants, there would have been no choose for Jesus to entrust Mary to John. yet another newborn of Mary would have dealt with Mary after the loss of life of Jesus. If Jesus stated that, it maximum in all likelihood became by way of fact Mary had no different newborn. Jesus is Mary's only newborn. Mary became a perpetual virgin.
