1 | Stripping the Bible of Virgin | Is 7:14 | gbennett76 | 93842 | ||
This scripture is often used by christians to say that the Messiah must be born of a virgin. HOWEVER the true interpretation is not virgin but young woman... refer to the TANAKH which is the Jewish translation of the bible. So I would not rely so heavily on this verse as a sure win over. | ||||||
2 | Stripping the Bible of Virgin | Is 7:14 | Ken hepting | 93850 | ||
I would say that the writers of the Gospels were also familiar with what the word "almah" meant and how it was beening used by Isaiah. Ergo, "virgin" was what they wrote. Luke 1:34 (KJV) Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I KNOW NOT A MAN? What do you think Mary meant be that? |

I was speaking about Isaiah not Luke. There is absolutely no denying the virgin birth. I merely stated that Isaiah 7:14 would not be a reliable source for support. | ||||||
4 | Stripping the Bible of Virgin | Is 7:14 | Ken hepting | 93881 | ||
I don't meant o be nit-picky but I wouldn't have a problem with it..and don't because, as I stated, the writers of the Gospels didn't have the problem. They understood "almah" to mean more than just "young maiden". Obviously the word must mean more than "young maiden" because of Mary's virginity, no? Stripping virginity from "almah" is an attempt to strip away the virgin birth. Critics do that sort of thing. | ||||||
