Most translations have young woman in the cited verse,
Isaiah 7:14 King James, "...behold a virgin shall
conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name
Immanuel."
Other translations say "young woman" with the son
conceived presumably in the customary fashion, but
without going into the gory details. Altho the
passage is interpreted as a messianic prophecy, a
casual reading reveals nothing to suggest that
such a notion is appropriate.
Im not actually suggesting that the Virgin Mary
humped Joseph Christ's brains out on their first
date or anything, I'm just saying.
