Dear berekaholo and Mr. Silver,
With all due respect, may I ask WHY it is important that Miriam be an "ever-virgin." I will admit John 19 is an interesting reference and that this is a topic I certainly haven't researched or thought about in any great depth. But I am only wondering why it is necessary to establish that she was a indeed a virgin until her death. I guess I don't see how this affects who Christ was or what he accomplished. I would appreciate any input on the topic. Thanks in advance.
Humbly,
Keith
