text: why is jesus mother called the virgin mary when she had kids after jesus so she is not a virgin anymore?   mr. mister had it almost right!  he said >no. she is not a virgin anymore.  >she was single and gave birth to jesus. after >the birth, her and joseph got married and had >kids.  >jesus does have 1/2 brothers. 1/2 sisters as >we know them. thats right.  actually, joseph did marry mary and they went to pay taxes in another town called bethlehem.  that is where jesus was born.  after jesus was born the bible clearly tells us that mary had other children.  people do not realize it is there, because it is not a religious point that ministers preach on, and most people do not read their own bibles!  however, it stated that she had other children.    she was not a virgin after jesus, but she was a virgin when jesus was born.  however, to give her that title is not really wrong, but an acknowledgment and declaration of her being a virgin at the time of jesus birth.
