But the verse doesn't say "virgin" in the original translation, is the point F_M is making. That being a young maiden implies being a virgin doesn't mean the verse is emphasizing that implication.
Quote:Further more God says he would give a sign, a woman having a baby in and of itself is not a sign.
Then maybe you should read the following verses as well, Huggy. Try not to be too selective.
Here's the verse of interest along with the following verses for your reading pleasure:
Quote:14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you[c] a sign: The virgin[d] will conceive and give birth to a son, and[e] will call him Immanuel.[f] 15 He will be eating curds and honey when he knows enough to reject the wrong and choose the right, 16 for before the boy knows enough to reject the wrong and choose the right, the land of the two kings you dread will be laid waste. 17 The Lord will bring on you and on your people and on the house of your father a time unlike any since Ephraim broke away from Judah—he will bring the king of Assyria.”
