Dear Anthony:
I will COMMENT after each of your questions............

COMMENT:  Nonsense. It matters not if it is translated "virgin," "damsel," or "maiden." The fact that Mary was a virgin when she conceived Jesus is not predicated or proved by the translation of the word "alma."  The Scriptures plainly tell us that Mary was a virgin, in just so many words:  "Now the birth of of Jesus Christ was on this wise:  When as His mother Mary was espoused [betrothed] to Joseph, BEFORE THEY CAME TOGETHER [in sexual union], she was found with child OF THE HOLY SPIRIT....the angel of the Lord appeared unto him [Joseph] in a dream, saying, Joseph, you son of David, fear not to take unto you Mary your wife: for THAT WHICH IS CONCEIVED IN HER IS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT"  (Matt. 1:15-21).

COMMENT:  It matter not what "Christianity" reads into this verse. Whether this verse has reference to nail holes or just gouged holes in His hands and feet is immaterial. Concordant translates it "digged holes in my hands and my feet."

COMMENT: Oh really?  The Jews "carried OUR sorrows?" Who is the "our?"(Verse 4). The Jews were "bruised for OUR iniquities?" (Verse 5). "By his [THE JEWS?] stripes we are HEALED?" (Verse 5).  "The Lord has laid on him [THE JEWS?] THE INIQUITY OF US ALL?" (Verse 6).  "...he [THE JEWS?] had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth?" (Verse 9). "Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; He has put him to grief: when you shall make his soul [THE JEWS?] an offering for sin?" (Verse 10).  I don't think so.
God be with you,
