...or maybe this one-
Aramaic was spoken by NT jews but the gospels were written in koina greek'.
matthew 1 v23. ..virgin..AV
from a gk commentary- "parthenos..it translates the heb word,,,a young lady w. high standing and noble qualities"
in that culture therefore "virgin" is reasonable.
this is the same word in luke 1 v27,and if you follow the passage to v34 you find mary sayng to the angel !"how can this be,seeing I know[sexually]not a man.
I fully realize bill, that you don't believe this, but please do not infer that the bible does not teach it.
