Virgin after a woman gives birth? Oh really?
From a physicians perspective, once Miriam gave birth to Yeshua, she ceased from being a virgin because we know from the writtings expressed by his emeseries that she was a virgin when she became pregnant with her son who was to be called Yeshua. Medically, a virgin has a hymen, this skin covers the inside of the vagina and reveals one thing, that this person [a female ofcourse] has never had any contact with a man. Miriam's hymen in this unique case was broken from the inside out, when she gave birth to Yeshua her son.
The writings of Yeshua's shluchim, or apostles, tell us that Yoseph did not have sexual intercourse with Miriam until after she gave birth to Yeshua. As the text shows: "Yoseph did not know his wife until she conceived and bore her son." But afterwards, we are sure that he did. It's implied there in the text.
Which brings me to the reason for which I have created this page, the only group that maintains that Yoseph did not have relations with his wife at any time before & after are Catholics.
Therefore, I put out a challenge to any or all Catholic women to provide us with a rational explanation for believing the myth of the perpetual virginity of Mary. Forgive my graphic description, but how could a baby the size of a watermelon come from Miriam's womb, without destroying her virginity?
For Miriam to have remained a virgin after she had given birth, medically & rathionally it is humanly impossible.
The mere acknowledgment to the child she held within her womb, would have brought to question her virginty in the first place. From our perpective ofcourse. However, the writtings of the shluchim say that Yoseph was a just man and didn't want to publicly expose her to shame.
Eventhough it would have been a duty for him to have done so, he didn't do it. One of the reasons perhaps is because he didn't have the entire proof of bringing the other individual along with Miriam before the Beis din "house of judgement" consisting of 3 rabbis. But as we know, there wasn't any other individual to blame.
So he did what he thought would be his best decision according to the Torah and didn't proceed with charging her with adultery since the Torah requests there'd be 3 eye witnesses in order to bring a person to trail. So by not going ahead with his accusation he aquired for himself the title of a just man. We know this because as he was contemplating on these matters a messenger came and convinced him of doing otherwise.
The message was simple, don't proceed with your intentions because what your wife is going thru is not of a shameful act but one of pleasure towards G-d, who chose her for a specific purpose in order to bring moshiach into this world.
The answer is divine intervention. Isaac's conception by parents who were 80 and 90 years of age would be a physical impossibility, without a divine intervention. This is the key to understanding how Yeshua's birth is analogous to the birth of B'nei bris "the children of the covenant", which also occured as a result of divine intervention or in more understandable terms, a miracle" or hasn't it occured to any of you, why do we think Israel is like one person? We know that Hashem speaks to b'nei Yisroel as one person but why does he do this?
We can come up with many reasonable arguments in order to explain this such as, that he wants to envolve all of the children of Israel in his exchanges in dialogue as not to leave a single Jew to feel left out, so he includes us. This could very well be one of many approaches.
However, we can also agree and within reasonable logic include the oneness of Moshiach who inhabits all of Israel within himself and understanding that Israel should reflect Moshiach back to the whole world also thru ha guf, as we are all suppose to be his representatives of rightouseness and justice.
