Mary's virginity is unambiguous in the New Testament; the translation debate concerns Isaiah 7:14 and the Hebrew word 'almah,' where Mike thinks 'virgin' is the stronger reading.

Mike distinguishes between two textual sites: (1) the New Testament, which unambiguously teaches Mary was a virgin — no translation controversy exists there; and (2) Isaiah 7:14 in Hebrew, where the word 'almah' (or possibly 'bethulah') is debated. Mike believes a strong case can be made from Hebrew usage that 'almah' means virgin and that this is how the New Testament writers understood the passage. He notes he may do a dedicated video on it.
