That is what Isaiah said in 7:14, “Therefore, the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” What does Immanuel mean? “God is with us.” And if you will believe it, Jesus Christ is God Himself who assumed the physical body of a mortal like us. Wasn’t Mary a virgin when she conceived Jesus? Luke 1:27 says, “To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.” Wasn’t it a son that Mary bore?
What does Isaiah 8:8 mean when it said, “O Immanuel”?
When Joseph found out that Mary was pregnant, he would like to put her away. Matthew 1:19-21 says:
19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily.
20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife; for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
This is the reason why I believe that Jesus Christ is God. This is the reason why I believe that Jesus came back as a spirit who we (plural) call Ama and who said that a crucifixion nail was thrown into the sea by the Pharisees which floated and ended up in Paris, France, that Saint James (Santiago [de Compostela?]) found.
Why are you citing the Bible anyway? We've already seen many instances where what Ka Apaz has said contradicts the Bible, and you have gone along with Ka Apaz every time.
