Bible Question:
Is the Virgin Birth of Jesus a myth? I have recently been investigating the point of view that Matthew made up the story concerning the virgin birth due to his misunderstanding of Isaiah 7:14 meaning young women instead of a real virgin. This and the investigation of this issue has really shaken my faith. I hold on to my belief because I have no where else to turn. But just the same, this discovery is startling. |
Bible Answer: No it is not a myth. young women in those days were not like today. They had to remain pure until married or else they were put away. so even if in the old testament it says young woman EITHER WAY to me that means virgin. You have to look at the culture. |
