Thank you for sharing. Please pray for her. Her name is Wendy.

I didn't know what to categorize this question/ discussion under, and because Christianity stems from Judaism and the Hebrew OT, I thought it could go under this category. I have a Jewish friend who tells me that I can't understand the Old Testament unless I read it in Hebrew. She says that there is a numerical way of understanding the Hebrew Bible (our OT). Although I believe that God isn't limited by language to communicate His truth to us, my friend believes that we cannot understand the meaning of the OT if we merely read it in English. She says that in Isaiah 9, virgin isn't the correct translation. Can anyone help me to understand the Hebrew number system because I don't know what she is talking about and I want to learn what I can to help her know that Jesus is the Messiah. Thank you for your help.
