No, it was prophesied in Hezekiah 4:2 (look it up). Isaiah, it's been established, didn't mention "virgin." That was a mistranslation in the LXX. If Matthew and Luke had been true to their Judaism, and not fallen for Hellenization, they would have known that too, and would have known what we know today. Clearly, in their zeal they jumped the gun, or the shark. And then it was twisted and solidified when we made their mistake scripture. So now we're forced to accept a mistake as the word of God.
And then the Chaloic church followed the first logical step, starting with "virgin," so Jesus was God, to the next, that Mary was the mother of God, to the next, Mary being bodily lifted up to heaven, and to the final logical step, she's now the holy mother in heaven, and ... AND ... guess what??? ... she's still
a virgin.
I'll be darn. All from a slip of a pen, so to speak.
