When Adam and Eve sinned, God said "cursed be the ground for your sake." Soon after that (before the flood) man was rebellious and God's saying was right. Now, the fact that God's prediction came true before the flood, does that mean His saying does not apply to human life after the flood to this generation? How then does the prophecy in Isaiah (if it refers to Ahaz) does not in its true fulfillment refer to Christ?
And as I see now, you can't deny the VERY FACT that the sign was for Ahaz to see he will defeat his enemies.
As I said above this can not be a dual prophecy for the very simply fact that you insist on the word "virgin". If this is true, then there is another virgin before Mary who conceived a boy.
It's rather simple to read Isiaih and clearly see that he is not refering to Jesus in anyway, as you continue reading of course.
And now you are faced with the fact tha the ghost writer of Matthew made a mistake, will you admit it? I don't think so.
This is just proof that the prophecy in Isaiah does refer to Christ, because it says a "virgin" will conceive. You can interpret the word "virgin" however you want, but it can also mean what it means--and we already had this discussion:
Again, if this word really means "virgin" then we know that there is another virgin before Mary who conceived a boy.
To make it easier, I suggest you accept that it means a maid, that Jesus is the only human born to a virgin, and admit that ghost writer of Matthew made a mistake as he did on so many occasions.
OneGod: Read the context of the verse from Matthew chapter 1 verses 18 to 23 and you'll see that Matthew was referring to Isaiah. I really dont need to take it further, the scriptures explain themselves.
I did scorp, and it's obvious, he made a mistake. The sign is for Ahaz to see that he will defeat his enemy, how dumb will this sound if Isiaih shows up and say : you're sign is that in 700 years a boy will be born. No logic at all here. The sign was fulfilled when the boy was born in chapter 8.
This was a DUAL PROPHECY, because the sign God gave to Ahaz was not via a virgin birth, There has been only 1 virgin birth in history, thats Mary's. The Prophecy Isaiah gave is Dual because its a sign for Ahaz and a FUTURE sign for the Jews is well for their Promised deliverer, the Messiah
.
I'll quote myself again to show that your logic is flawed:
Your Logic is kinda stupid, here is why:
You insist that A VIRGIN will conceive a son, if this is a dual prophecy then there existed another virgin before Mary and conveived a son.
See why your logic doesn't work here?
Again, if this word really means "virgin" then we know that there is another virgin before Mary who conceived a boy.
To make it easier, I suggest you accept that it means a maid, that Jesus is the only human born to a virgin, and admit that ghost writer of Matthew made a mistake as he did on so many occasions.
