Try taking a course in reading comprehension or maybe just reading it slowly several times will help you understand what it says. It says she will be with child... Do you understand verb tenses?







That may be but it doesn't say the virgin is with child.
Of course it does:

Well then, the Lord himself will give you a sign: a young woman who IS pregnant will have a son and will name him 'Immanuel.'
OMG!!!!!!

Israel is still scattered.

Jesus claimed he would return in the clouds with the angels to judge men by their deeds and he insisted he'd return while some of his apostles were still alive, but it never happened. He never returned, therefore we can surmise he simply died and was buried and that was that.
The Father is Spirit, Thrill. That means Jesus would come as Spirit - the Comforter - and that DID happen while they were alive - at Pentecost.

Try speaking for yourself, Thrill. Don't ignore my post.

I missed your post, Mystic, sorry.

Yes, but did Jesus judge all men's deeds or is this more spiritual interpretation, I mean like up in heaven Jesus made a pronouncement that all men's deeds had been forgiven by his death?

Hey, Mystic, did the gospel writers model Jesus life on Moses? The similarities are so numerous it's past the point of coincidence and I read somewhere that every episode in Jesus life could be found in the Old Testament.

Don't limit the parallels, Thrill. The spiritual fossil record is replete with earlier (more primitive, less defined) Savior memes that convinced me that God's influencing of our minds uses a template to promote the belief in God that has manifested locally in myriad ways culminating (IMO) in the most sophisticated Jesus legend that has had such a tremendous impact on human spiritual evolution. Look up some of these, Thrill, they are only a smattering:

Let's see........if I'm understanding this correctly: there have always been dying/rising god legends as evidenced by your list. Jesus simply represents the latest and most sophisticated dying/rising god of all of them. Did I get it?

Can't pay attention to a vague statement. How is Isreal scattered today and how am I supposed to recognize it gathering? I thought you would be able to explain your statement but if you can't then I will have to dismiss it as a meaningless group of words.
