Questions for discussion

Why does the Bible emphasize that Mary was a virgin?

Eve's OFFSPRING was a big feature of the promise of a Savior in Genesis 3. Both Elizabeth and Mary were unlikely candidates to have offspring. Can you think of other people in the Bible who couldn't have children, but nevertheless did have children?
