- Shalom All. It seems to me that the reasons for not accepting "Almah" as virgin can be listed as the following cf Isa 7:14
-
- 1) Almah does not mean "virgin" but young maiden.
-
- 2) If God had wanted to say virgin, He would have used "betullah"
-
- 3) The context of Isa 7:14 has nothing to do with the messiah.
-
- Now if i am wrong with the above, please correct me.
-
- Since this seems to be the crux of the arguement we should endeavor to speak to each of those points exactly...
-
- Once i have agreement on this, we shall proceed again...
- If we cannot agree on what the issues are, how can we speak definitively on
- the word Almah.
-
- Would appreciate a response from the opposing forces that be on this forum to agree as to what exactly the arena for discussion is..
