It's always interesting to see how impractical Bible disbelievers are. When the Bible says Virgin, it means Virgin. As I said before, you could've known that from English. Alma Mater is a combination Hebrew word and Greek word. The Hebrew word there is Alma which means Virgin. The Greek word there is Mater which means Mother. And you know what you realize after all the shouting is over? You should've believed the Bible in the first place. Your citing Latin and the Targum is a lot of garbage to perhaps confuse some folks in the THREAD who may not know better and will be impressed by how you SOUND ;) Go kid the kiddies

You obviously haven't consulted a dictionary. Alma mater is neither Greek nor Hebrew, it is Latin, only Latin, and it means "foster mother" or "nurturing mother". The Hebrew word for virgin is (phonetically) betoola. That is the word used whenever virginity is specifically referred to. It is painfully obvious that you are out of your depth in this discussion.
