The translation (while demonstrably true, and accepted by ALL mainstream scholars, and you STILL have provided NOT ONE scholarly reference or rebuttal), is NOT the crux of the so-called "prophecy".Wrong, I did. I said OT scholars of most Bible translations, like say these ones. You keep claiming every scholar disagrees with Matthew's translation, but if this is the case then why do [i]most[/m] English Bibles have "virgin" in Is. 7:14? It is you who cannot back up your assertions of "every scholar this", "every scholar that".
You've also dodged every question put to you and refused to answer them. It's closed-minded people like you that used to claim that Christians put the world almah in Is 7:14 as it appears in the MT in the first place.
You're also the idiot that keeps wanting to talk about OT matters in a thread on the NT. I gave you a challenge and you failed to meet it, all you've done is try to deflect away from the texts you were told to look at as much as possible.

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
