"Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us" When did Jesus ever answer to the name Emmanuel? It also goes without saying that 'virgin' is an infamous mistranslation.” Carl
Carl, Isaiah 7:14 says "Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel" (italics added). If the word "virgin" had been mistranslated and should rather have read "young maiden," then that wouldn't be a "sign" from God. Every day, thousands of young maidens conceive. Only once has it happened to a virgin. Also, it seems obvious that you have never opened the Bible to study the person of Jesus Christ. He is given many names and titles, and the day will come when you kneel before Him and acknowledge Him as "Lord." In the meanwhile, here are His titles in the hope that you soften your heart towards Him, and trust in His mercy:
