Too bad we don't have the Q gospel manuscript -- the one with text shared between the gospels attributed to Matthew and Luke -- as it may be there where the misquote originated, of claiming that Jesus was born of a virgin where the Old Testament reference cited uses the Hebrew word for young maiden instead of the word for virgin, so we can see whether Matthew and Luke got the idea from there, or whether Matthew was the fraud and Luke copied him.
The late John Anderson of the Voice of Reason on GCN saw through so many bogus Christian dogmas, and, I think, rightly concluded that the Bible doesn't teach that Jesus is God, but he still bought into Jesus being born of a virgin, because the two texts explicitly say so.
