Insert proven biblical mistranslations here

    I don't believe "mistranslation" is fair. Few translations are perfect, even contemporaneous ones across countries.

    In a pre-industrial world "slavery" was an entirely different thing.

    Of course we all know exactly what "virgin" means anywhere or anytime, but there was likely some confusion about the story. It did appear to some people that the birth of Jesus was somehow miraculous or there would be no story.
