Virgin birth strongly affirmed as messianic prophecy
Thomas Christians affirm Isaiah 7:14 as a prophecy of the virgin birth of Christ. This affirmation reflects the Marian piety characteristic of Eastern Christianity, which honors Mary as the Theotokos (God-bearer). The virgin birth is understood as both historically real and theologically significant.
