Where's Waldo? or What's in a name?

Matthew
1: (KJV)
16 "And Jacob begat
Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus,"

23 "Behold, a virgin shall be
with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel"
Matthew 1: (KJV)
25
"And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he
called his name JESUS. "
Duhhhh!
I
know what we can do, do you remember the game in all those Waldo books--"Where's Waldo?"
Let's look for "Emmanuel."
Where is "Emmanuel?"
* Emmanuel
Christ? No, I don't think so!
* The
* Hmmm, do Christians pray in the name of Emmanuel? No! I don't think so.
* Emmanuel
H. Christ (the Christian holy exclamation)? Doesn't have quite the same
ring to it!
* Emmanuel
Freaks? Nope, not quite the same.
* "But Emmanuel said unto him, Follow me..."
Yeah,
that's the ticket!
So? Where is "Emmanuel?"
Christians have only themselves to blame, for they mistranslated
Isaiah 7.14 to deliberately follow established pagan god standards and create a
pagan "virgin-birth" scenario.
"Therefore
the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold,
a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel." Isaiah 7.14 (KJV)
Hmmm,
wonder if those people at the time of Mary's pregnancy had a gynecologist
to verify her "virginity?" Come to think of it, virginity isn't
much of a sign, now is it Mr. & Mrs. Christianan? So, if your daughter came home
saying she was pregnant by a “holy ghost,” what would you do? What would you
say? Hmmm, how would you verify it, oh that’s right she could tell you it came
to her in a dream. Ah, now I see!
