Why I Believe Mary Did Not Remain a Virgin

There is the ongoing heresy that exists, sadly even in some Christian schools of thought that Mary didn't have children by Joseph or that Jesus' supposed brothers were either stepbrothers or cousins which I do find absurd some Presbyterian commentators even believe that.  However while this isn't a soul damning heresy if one has clung on to the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation and not anyone else, however refuting the idea that Mary remained a virgin is pretty much needed to debunk Mariolatry.  Sadly some earlier Christian thinkers though they did not look up to her for salvation, bought the lie that she remained a virgin forever in the sense that she never had sexual relations with Joseph.  So where do I begin? Psalm 69:8 is a prophecy on the Savior from the Psalm of David saying, "I am become a stranger unto my brethren and an alien unto my MOTHER'S CHILDREN."  That is, this really implies that Jesus really had natural half-brothers and half-sister...

The Issue of Feminism

Feminism can be defined as, "The movement that sets to make women equal to men in every area of life."  Is it really possible?  Here's something about how stupid feminism is.  Although Christianity brought up the issue of women's rights and treating them as human beings, feminism take away the balance and they refuse to take their real roles in society with the following facts about them: They teach that submission to one's husband is spousal abuse.  They fail to see that the Bible prohibits the husbands from beating up their wives but to rather love them and cherish them, rewarding their obedience with good and not evil and that the Bible discourages submission to evil desires.   They teach that women should work and not only the husband.  They consider housewifery to be nothing more than a form of laziness ignoring the fact that it's not easy to be one. They teach that abortion and contraceptives are A-OK.  They ignore the consequences of both...

Rahab and Ruth: Love Stories of Redemption

I would like to cite the stories of two women of the Gentile race namely Rahab and Ruth. Sure we have Asenath an Egyptian who married Joseph and also Zipporah an Ethiopian who married Moses but I would like to focus on these two who had become part of the human genealogy of David which led down to Jesus Christ. So what's the big deal with them? First let's talk about Rahab. In Joshua 2, there is the story of Rahab who was already doomed for death as God had ordered the Canaanites to be wiped out for their sinfulness. What was worse is that prior to being saved, Rahab was a prostitute. Methinks that she was probably a temple prostitute herself. But she received the spies and in Hebrews 11:31 that she by faith received the spies and received the God of Israel. She was an outcast yet she was accepted and she was spared. However the Bible remains silent about how she met Salmon from the tribe of Judah (to where the Messianic line would come from according to Genesis 49:...
