During question time a brother posts a question about Isaiah 7:14 prophecy about Jesus being the promised Messiah born of a virgin. Question about Immanuel or Emmanuel meaning God with Us.
In Bart Ehrman's book Jesus Interrupted
Page 74 he writes
We have seen that Matthew is particularly keen
to show that everything in Jesus birth, life, and death was a fulfi llment
of Scriptural prophecy. So why was he born of a virgin? It was
because the Hebrew prophet Isaiah indicated that "a virgin shall
conceive and bear a son, and they shall call him Immanuel" (Matthew
1:23, quoting Isaiah 7:14). Actually, that's not exactly what Isaiah
said. In the Hebrew Bible, Isaiah indicates that a "young woman" will
conceive and bear a son, a prediction not of a future Messiah but of
an event that was soon to take place in Isaiah's own day.3 When the
Hebrew Bible was translated into Greek, however, Isaiah's "young
woman" (Hebrew alma; there is a different Hebrew word for "virgin")
came to be rendered by the Greek word for "virgin" (parthenos), and
that is the form of the Bible that Matthew read. And so he thought
that Isaiah was predicting something not about his own day but about
the future Messiah (though the term "Messiah" does not occur in
Isaiah 7). So Matthew wrote that Jesus was born of a virgin because
that's what he thought Scripture predicted.
Also Jews have a different translation of this passage where it is not virgin but young woman.
