My search continues.
Will someone chime in with a list of bible software they have found useful? I'm using Linux and always on the lookout for new tools. Links would be helpful.
So far I have the applications: Xiphos, Bibletime, Widemargin, and Diatheke.

Christians use the prophecy of Isaiah to prop up their false virgin birth myth.
The English translation is incorrect. The word in Isaiah is 'almah' and does not mean a virgin. Many translators claim that it means, 'young woman' but that is not the actual meaning, although 'young woman' can be implied. 'Almah' means a 'maiden' of any age, or a ritually pure maiden--not a virgin. It means a woman who is ritually clean from keeping her covenant. The word is not about bedroom habit in any way, shape, or form.
In the New Testament, the Greek word, 'parthenos' is used, and is translated as 'virgin' then interpreted again in the vein of 'bedroom habits'. Once again, this is a false rendering, as 'parthenos' is in reference to the woman being ritually pure, meaning she is a 'virgin' who has not cheated on her God with idols. Even in modern English 'virgin' can refer to someone doing something the first time as a 'virgin'. We call uncut forest, 'virgin timber'. This is the sense in which 'almah' and 'parthenos' are being used in the Bible.
Babies are not conceived without a human father. Period. Joseph the husband of Miriam is the literal, biological father of Jesus of Nazareth. The Christian dogma of the 'virgin birth' and 'immaculate conception' is nonsense.
Blame the gnostic church 'fathers' for imposing this virgin birth myth into the Bible, and confusing people for 1800+ years.
No one in their right mind considers it a miracle for a young woman to conceive. It is considered a miracle in the Bible when a barren woman conceives. We see this with Abraham and Sarah, and again with the conception of John the Baptist.
People pretend to study the bible for years or decades and it never dawns on them how many times God calls Israel a harlot for fornicating with idols, and how he is going to have 'virgins' to worship him. By 'virgins' is meant those who have not committed spiritual fornication with false gods. It is not about bedroom habits.

You are hunting for Bible software, you say, but really you are hunting for souls of men, to lure them in here to drop lies on them.
The goal of retro's post is obvious: to kill faith in the divinity of Jesus. This is the work of the adversary.
A virgin giving birth is such a remarkable miracle that the liar says it is not possible. But with God, all things are possible. And it was God's Spirit in the perfect man Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who atoned for the sins of fallen man.
The 'adversary' is you.
I said:
"Babies are not conceived without a human father. Period. Joseph the husband of Miriam is the literal, biological father of Jesus of Nazareth. The Christian dogma of the 'virgin birth' and 'immaculate conception' is nonsense."
The Word of God agrees. The Bible in the original language explicitly tells us that Jesus is the biological seed of Joseph the husband of Mary.
"Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David ACCORDING TO THE FLESH ; "
"And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:"
Jesus is the literal seed of David, through his father Joseph. He is not the product of a virgin birth. The Apostles taught no such thing. They give the PATERNAL genealogy of Jesus to establish his claim to the throne of Israel as King of Israel. If Jesus were the product of a 'virgin birth' he would have no claim to the throne of Messiah and giving his genealogy would be a pointless lie. Your virgin birth myth denies his claim to the the Son of Man. It is the resurrection that makes him the Son of God with the divine titles. Having the titles does not make him a pre-existent 'god-man' who incarnated as a man. All the kings, priests, and judges of Israel before him had the titles of Elohim, and they didn't even have to rise from the dead to don the titles. What sets Jesus apart is that by the resurrection he gained all three titles of God. The only 'trinity' that exists is the trinity of divinely-ordained titles invested in the MAN, Jesus of Nazareth.
John the Baptist baptized and anointed Jesus the King of Israel. During this ceremony, God sent the spirit to descend to witness that Jesus is the Son of Man who would take all the titles of authority to himself. When God raised Jesus from the dead, Jesus became both King and High Priest, as well as chief Judge. All the titles are now invested in one man who sits on God's throne to judge the nations.
God told this to David about his progeny, Jesus:
"And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up THY SEED after thee, which shall proceed OUT OF THY BOWELS, and I will establish his kingdom."God clearly says that Jesus will proceed from David's loins as his seed or great grandson. The virgin birth myth calls God a liar. The virgin birth myth says that Jesus is not the offspring of David at all, but instead is a strangely generated chimera without a human father. Having no human sire would invalidate Jesus as heir to the throne of Israel, making his gospel and sacrifice of no effect.
By the very law of the Covenant God made with Israel and David, only the seed of David can inherit the throne of Israel. If Jesus was immaculately conceived, he would not be the seed of David and his claim to be Messiah would be invalid, by God's own law.
Church theologians who translated the bible wrongly attributed wrong meanings to the use of the words, 'almah' and 'parthenos' to prop up the pagan demigod religion of the Romish church. The Bible is clear that Jesus is the offspring of David:
"And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene."The Apostle is noting a play on words here in the prophecy. The Hebrew, 'nazar' is the branch or sapling that springs up from a stump or root. He is saying that Jesus is the descendant of David's family tree, through his biological father, Joseph.
The concept of 'virgin' is being applied to denote spiritual purity, not a discussion of the subject's bedroom habits. I am right, and you sir, are simply wrong. I understand the scripture, and you sir, simply have a false understanding from centuries of dogmatic brainwashing.
I will temporarily ignore your false and slanderous accusations against me and my motives. I know it is quite a shock to idol worshipers when they first hear that their trinity idol is a false god unknown to the Prophets and Apostles. This affords you an opportunity to repent of your idolatry and slandering.
If you make one more imbecilic false accusation or continue to impugn my character with Dominican-styled inquistor slanders, I will just mute you and move on. I don't have a duty to devote my life to countering endless streams of baseless accusations from half-wit idol kissers.
