Nun receives death threats for suggesting Mary was not a virgin

[guillaumeb]

16. Words matter. And the meaning of words also matters.

The word almah (used in Isaiah) is rare—usually translated as “maiden” it appears only ten times in the Hebrew Scriptures, six of these in the plural and four in the singular.
In the few verses where almah appears, the word clearly denotes a young woman who is not married but is of marriageable age. Although almah does not implicitly denote virginity, it is never used in the Scriptures to describe a “young, presently married woman.” It is important to remember that in the Bible, a young Jewish woman of marriageable age was presumed to be chaste.
The prophet could have chosen a different word had he wanted to describe Immanuel’s mother as a virgin. Betulah is a more common way to refer to a woman who has never been with a man (both in biblical and modern Hebrew).

So if the Prophet Isaiah was referring to the mother of the Messiah as a maiden, that could refer to her status pre-marriage.

And in the Gospels, the earliest Gospel is that of Mark, which has no claim of virgin birth.

Over 2 thousand years, there have been a number of stories that contradict each other in details, yet the essential message, the message of Jesus, remains.
