Khwaja Kamal-ud-Din reveals in his book <em>The Sources of Christianity<\/em> (p. 37):<br \/>\n&#8220;The Gospel of St. Matthew no doubt makes the birth of Jesus a fulfillment of a prophecy by Isaiah (7:14) which it quotes in the following words: <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\">\u201cBehold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us\u201d (Matthew 1:23).<br \/>\n<\/span><\/span>But the oldest manuscripts of Isaiah do not read \u201cvirgin,\u201d but \u201cyoung woman.\u201d And the original is not \u201cshall conceive,\u201d but \u201cis with child\u201d \u2013i.e. had already conceived. Moreover, it does not state that \u201cthey shall call\u201d his name Emmanuel or Immanuel, but \u201cthou shalt,\u201d it being a command to King Ahaz so to call a child about to be born; which child, as an encouragement to the King, Isaiah prophesied would be a boy, and therefore a sign of good luck. And the Child was called \u2013Jesus.<br \/>\n\u201cThe fact that in the later versions of the Hebrew, such as the Septuagint and Vulgate, the word used for \u2018young woman\u2019 has been altered into \u2018virgin\u2019 is very significant. The misrepresentation of Isaiah\u2019s reference to a young woman, who, at the time the prophet spoke, was about to bear a child\u2026is clear evidence of an attempt to connect a presumably real Jesus with the Sun-God,\u201d all of whose other incarnations came from a Virgin Mother.\u201d (pp. 37-38. <span style=\"color: #800080;\">This material can also be read with other texts at<\/span> <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a class=\"Hyperlink SCXW258469615 BCX0\" style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/nogodbutallah.org\/?page_id=2062\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span class=\"TextRun Underlined SCXW258469615 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW258469615 BCX0\" data-ccp-charstyle=\"Hyperlink\">Christianity-is paganism<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span>).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Jesus is NOT \u201cGod with us\u201d; only his NAME means \u201cGod with us\u201d: <span style=\"color: #800080;\">\u201ca virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his NAME Immanuel.

He was called Saviour, and sometimes figured as a Lamb. People were initiated into his cult through baptism. Sacramental feasts were held in his remembrance. These statements may excite surprise in the mind of the reader of to-day; he may be disposed to doubt their genuineness, as while on one side he reads the story of the Jesus of the Church, in the legend of Mithra on the other Mithraism has left no traces in the world, although it was so powerful in the third century A.D. that, <span style=\"color: #800080;\"><em>had it not been suppressed in Rome and Alexandria by the Christians with physical force, as has been admitted by St. Jerome, it would have left no chance for the flourishing of Christianity; and that it died only when most of its legends became incorporated in the simple faith of Jesus, and the Church lore fully saturated with Mithraic colours,<\/em><\/span> so much so that Tertullian had to admit the fact, though in a way befitting his position.
