or is she more commonly referred to as something else?

this is my thought:

If the Lord promised a child to an almah, which would obviously mean it must origin in Holiness, it would be either one of these:

that the almah is married - the marriage would be necessary because the Lord is Holy and wouldn't allow a promised Child that is of God's purpose to be born in sin.

or that the almah is unmarried - in which case she would have to be virgin to again avoid an unholy situation

if it is not common for an almah to be known within wedlock, it must then mean that the almah referred to in Isaiah 7:14 must be a virgin

I know this verse is contraversial for the two religions, but please try to be as objective as you can for my sake :)

My parents would have taken me to the woodshed for saying it, I am sure. But nowadays I even hear preachers and almost everybody else say it all the time. It is especially offensive to hear Christians and Jews say it; I ignore (and certainly never ever correct - correcting people is so self-righteous) profanity when I hear nonbelievers say things.

Do we really want the culprit to be punished
Or settle things and go on
Or just shout the mistakes all time in public and give strangers a chance to point us
Or forget everything once for all and start afresh.

looks like most atheists go to heaven because most of them never personally had a relation with God, thus it's impossible to reject God since they never met him. I met him, but i don't want to change, i wanna be a rebel bhahahahaha

every time I hear or read an atheist explain their belifes( or lack there of) they mostly use Christianity to explain why religion is not true. don't they no there are many other religions?


There are hundred of thousand of religions in the world yet they are never used in the debate of religion.

I would like to have a conversation or see a tv show that isn't the same anti-christianity. how about my religion?

its not the same as christianity by no means. yes there are creation tales like christianity but we know that they are just stories. but we still belive that there was something that created. and in the depths of my body I know there is a soul. and when I ask late in night for protection for myself and my family I know something has changed. and when people die yes there bodies decompose but there soul (energy) did not die but only move on.

maybe religion was made by humans to cope with the world but may be because we belive we created something thats real.

I'll pass on this one.

"And thou shalt eat it as barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it with dung that cometh out of man, in their sight. And the LORD said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, whither I will drive them." (Ezekiel 4:12-13)

,,.without getting a violation? But religious types can threaten me with burning in hell and all sort of dire happenings if I do not see things their way?
Is it all as one-sided as I think it is? Should we not give them a violation for saying that gods exist?

If you don't know what it is, its a language created by a Polish man in the late 1800's. Its compiled of latin words and the rules are quite simple. Each vowel makes the same sound no exceptions. In the english language we say "Tough" and "Through" and the 'ou' combo makes different sounds, not in esperanto. There is also no feminin or masculin forms of words. 'THE' is said like 'La' each time regardless of the noun or verb. The words are also said the way they are spelt but you pronounce every letter individually. "Knock" has a silent 'K' in english, but in Esperanto there are no silent letters. The language was designed for it to be easier to communicate. I've recently been taking online courses [which are very free :P] and the language is simple. It is sometimes refered to as an "Artificial' language yet it is spoken by 2 million+ people. What do you think defines a language, better yet, do you think that esperanto should be recogniced as a language? Why or Why not?

I’m going out on a limb here; I think it was. Does this prove that the gaining of knowledge is weakening religion? Like sandcastles on a beach eroding as a tide of new knowledge comes in?
