Correct!

"Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel." Isaiah 7:14  (prophesying about the birth of Christ - NAS)

"Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel," which translated means, "God with us." And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took her as his wife, and kept her a virgin until she gave birth to a Son; and he called His name Jesus." Matthew 1:23-25 (NAS)

"And Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since I am a virgin?" Luke 1:34 (NAS)

"And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took her as his wife, and kept her a virgin until she gave birth to a Son; and he called His name Jesus." Matthew 1:24-25 (NAS)

Mary Was A Virgin Until After Jesus Was Born

According to scripture, Jesus' mother was a virgin until after Jesus was born (see Matthew 1:24-25 above). After this, Joseph and Mary had their own children. There are several references to Jesus' brothers and sisters, including for example:

"While He (Jesus) was still speaking to the multitudes, behold, His mother and brothers were standing outside, seeking to speak to Him. And someone said to Him, "Behold, your mother and your brothers are standing outside seeking to speak to you." Matthew 12:46-47 (NAS)

"Is not this the carpenter's son?  Is not His mother called Mary, and His brothers, James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? "And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this man get all these things?"  Matthew 13:55-56 (NAS)

What would you think about a person or group that teaches that Mary was not a virgin when Jesus was born (that she had sexual relations that resulted in Jesus' birth)?

Do you believe that Jesus "became flesh" when He was born of a virgin?  Do you believe that God has the power to make this happen?
