My point is that we have clear examples of fabrications by the early Christians, yet none of you are capable of accepting this fact, as you demonstrated with the post before this one.

It doesn't matter if 100 hearsay accounts had recorded it, why, because the OT doesn't claim any such thing. It's a clear indication of Christians mistranslating the OT which inevitably exposes the whole thing as a fabrication.
Also consider Paul's epistles which were written first; he mentions Jesus being "born of a woman". Nowhere does he say "born of Mary the Virgin" which once again exposes the Gospels as being at odds with the rest of the Bible.
