Isaiah 7:14
How misused: The speaker (or guests) frequently argues that the Hebrew word 'almah' means 'young woman' and not 'virgin,' thereby negating the Christian virgin birth prophecy and Matthew's citation.
Scripture's answer: While 'almah' can mean 'young woman,' its usage in the Septuagint by 'parthenos' (virgin) and the broader prophetic context (an extraordinary sign) supports a virgin interpretation. Matthew's application of this passage (Matthew 1:23) is an inspired interpretation revealing the deeper messianic significance of the text, not a mistranslation or misapplication. The Holy Spirit's inspiration guided Matthew to see the fulfillment in Yeshua's miraculous birth, aligning with the pattern of God's miraculous intervention.

Daniel 7:13-14
How misused: The speaker (or guests) insists on a purely human interpretation of 'Son of Man,' denying divine attributes like coming with clouds and receiving eternal dominion, thus rejecting its application to Yeshua's divinity.
Scripture's answer: The 'Son of Man' in Daniel 7:13-14 is presented with divine attributes, receiving universal and everlasting dominion, worship, and glory from the Ancient of Days. This figure transcends a merely human king. Yeshua's self-identification as 'Son of Man' draws directly from this passage, indicating His divine authority and future messianic reign (e.g., Matthew 24:30, 26:64). The context of receiving dominion and being worshipped points to a divine-human figure, which Yeshua perfectly embodies.

Psalm 40:6 / Hebrews 10:5
How misused: The speaker asserts that Hebrews 10:5 alters the original Hebrew text of Psalm 40:6 ('ears you have opened' to 'a body you have prepared') and claims this alteration is unjustified, particularly by appealing to the Septuagint.
Scripture's answer: The New Testament authors, writing under divine inspiration, often cited the Septuagint (LXX), the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible widely used in the 1st century. While the Hebrew of Psalm 40:6 literally says 'ears you have opened for me,' the LXX renders it 'a body you prepared for me.' The writer of Hebrews uses the LXX text to convey the theological truth that Yeshua's incarnation (His body) was God's ultimate provision for sacrifice, fulfilling and superseding the animal sacrifices of the Old Covenant. This is not an 'alteration' but an inspired interpretation and application of the Spirit-led translation, highlighting the deeper messianic intent and fulfillment in Yeshua. God prepared a body for the Messiah to accomplish His will, which perfectly aligns with the purpose of Psalm 40:6.
