Here's what lies do:
Once a person tells a lie, he has to tell a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc. lie to defend the 1st lie.
So once someone claims that Mary was a virgin all her life here's what has to happen:
1) They have to justify this by making up stories and putting them into scripture or changing the words around in scripture to justify their statement
2) Turn the word "brothers and sisters" into "cousins, half-brothers, adopted children, chidlren out of wedlock, etc.
3) Claiming that Mary wasn't a good wife for denying sex to her husband his whole life or making up stories that Joseph didn't want sex with his wife their whole lives
4) Claim that Joseph was previously widowed or divorced
5) Make up a brother or sister of Mary or Joseph whose children lived in their household
6) Making up stories about out why Mary & Joseph didn't take all her children to Egypt with Joseph and Jesus
7) Strike out the last part of Matthew 1:25 and replace it with; "But he had no union with her forever."
So what happens is that the more stories that one has to make up to explain the first lie eventually ends up contradicting more and more scripture as the claim that Mary was sinless also does:
1) Since what separates man from God is sin, the claiming that Mary was sinless makes her into a God
2) That means that the Catholics have to strike out Luke 1:47 where Mary was thankful that she had a savior. (Sinless people don't need a savior.)
3) It contradicts Matthew 11:11
4) It contradicts Deuteronomy 5:7-8
5) Why don't the Catholics honor Mary's mother like they honor Mary for giving birth to a sinless child? :o
6) It adds scripture to the bible of Mary's birth and ascension
So the more scripture that the catholics have to contradict to justify unbiblical statements, the more stores they have to make up. So the catholics get themselves into a bind when making up new scripture that will eventually contradict the whole word of God.
2 Peter 2:3, "In their greed, these teachers will exlpoit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them and their destruction has not been sleeping."
The catholics thus disobey that verse along with Matthew 23:5-9 and Leviticus 26:1. One lie leads to another and another and another until pretty soon they have gone as far from God's word as they possibly can. That's not getting closer to God, it's getting farther away from worshiping God and closer and closer to worshiping human beings like the pope and Mary. True Christians believe what the bible does say, not what the bible doesn't say, like the Catholics do. Stories without support from reality are nothing more than gossip and rumors.
But that's what telling a lie does. It balloons into ludicrous claims that can easily be proven false or contradictory. And satan is the father of lies. How the catholics think they can fool other Christians, or even anyone who can understand the spoken word, is mind-boggling. But they aren't fooling us and certainly aren't fooling God, only themselves.
