Greetings Gman
I too wonder if he has even considered this possibility? The hebrew word alma is used in Isaiah when mentioning a 'virgin' birth. Alma means, young woman of marriagable age. In other places where the english meaning of virgin (person who has had no sexual intercourse) is meant, 'betulah' is used.

I know he will just post another quote from His Imperial Majesty to justify his stance. But truth is truth. Anyone who knows hebrew could verify this.

Just as when Christ supposively said that, "It is easier for a camel to get through an eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into the kingdom of heaven." The greek word for camel is kamelos while the greek word "kamilos" meant rope. It is easy to see by connotation that a mistranslation was made. It is easier for a rope to get through an eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to get into the kingdom of God is a much clearer and sensible methaphor.
