But without proof, both the speculation that she is a virgin for life and the speculation that she was married to Joseph and consumated their marriage can neither be found wrong, whether those brothers of Jesus are Mary's or not.
Using the Bible alone, I would agree with this statement. It is ambiguous at best, and both sides feel that they can, through thorough exegesis, prove their position. So, the question that remains though is... if it really IS ambiguous (and I won't argue with you here), why do some people get their undies in such a wad over it when someone else takes a stand?
THAT, my friend, is what perplexes me so.
