You probably know that this very passage is used twice in the book of Hebrews. Hebrews 10 finds the author applying this promised new covenant and its subsequent [eternal] remission of sins to the living way. the torn veil of the Holy of Holies that is the body of Christ (10:18-20.) But earlier, and more to the point of this discussion, we have the author of Hebrews speaking of the two covenants in this wise: ..in that He says, a new covenant, He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away (8:13 I feel no need to expand the debate beyond this.

Re: [TruthTalk] Was Jesus of God's Nature?
Dean writes: . . . we were brought to His state as Christians. And from this morning:Bill I hesitate to answer this as I am not sure where you stand on the issue of: Did Christ appear in the Heathen state or in the state we are now as Christians. As a Christian I have all the human genes that you mentioned yet I am different from Hitler. I have flesh and Blood but am a new creature in Christ conformed to His image. If I statethat Iagree with you then what am I agreeing to?Enlighten me? First of all, Dean, the fact that Christ is the "genos of David" should have no bearing on whether you agree with me or not. It is Jesus who declares it -- not me. He came in the flesh of David and Abraham and Adam. You figure it out. That aside, I'll share a couple thoughts: 1) The ressurected Christ does not have the same nature in his humanity that he did prior to his crucifixion. He took on sinful flesh tocondemn sin in the flesh. This he did in his life, death, and resurrection -- sin totally condemned, totally defeated! Thus his resurrected humanity is "perfected," now completely victorious. Sin, death, and the devil have absolutely no bearing upon his resurrected humanity; for in his resurrection the tyrants are totally defeated, death being the last enemy to fall--as we too will discover in the resurrection: "Death is swallowed up in victory.O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?" 2) You keep speaking of Jesus, prior to the crucifixion,as having had the same nature we have now as Christians on the other side of the cross. But that is not so. Paul writes, "Therefore, from now on, we regard no man according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer" (2Cor 5.16).There isno new birth or new man ornew creation apart from the resurrection. It is the glorified Christ who sends us his Spirit, notChrist before having finished the workwhich he came to do. Why do you suppose he did not send the Counselor until after his ressurection? Because the tyants had not yet been fully defeated. Ah but in his resurrection there is new birth, a new man, a new creation. We are born into his absolute victory over sin, death, and the devil. Hence, we are now engaged in a daily struggle between two natures, our old flesh nature that wants to return to its former ways, and the new resurrected nature of Christ. But because this relationship is not semetrical either, we do not have to give into that old man; we can put him to death every day. In other words, "Christ in us, the hope of glory" is Christ resurrectedand ascended. "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me" (Gal2.19). - Original Message - From: Dean Moore To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: Wednesday, February 01, 2006 6:54 PM Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Was Jesus of God's Nature? - Original Message - From: Taylor To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: 2/1/2006 8:40:22 AM Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Was Jesus of God's Nature?

Your own words contradict your theology. You admit that the language "born of a woman" are words that proclaim the human predicament. Any man born of woman shares in the predicament. That the "generational curse"does not include the woman who gives birth, well, that is just silly, or worse, in light of this passage. Whatever verse you are quoting (what passage ARE you quoting, Judy for this generaltional curse?) does not exclude the mother. I am quite sure it does not say tht it is passed down to the exclusion of the mothers involvement. And does this "generatlional curse" extend for more than two or three generations?

If "generational curses" are true and apply to all of mankind, then Christ was not pure. The fact that you eliminate the woman from this "genertional curse" is only JudyLogic.

So why is there no sin offering for children under the Old Law? -- Deu 24:16 The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin. cd:John notice that the punishment for sin worked both ways. Please take the time to read the below- only 3 paragraphs- it will save us both a lot of time and there is much wisdom here.-How do you agree/disagree? 1Co 7:14 - The unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife - Or rather, is to be reputed as sanctified on account of his wife; she being a Christian woman, and he, though a heathen, being by marriage one flesh with her: her sanctity, as far as it refers to outward things, may be considered as imputed to him so as to render their connection not unlawful. The case is the same when the wife is a heathen and the husband a Christian. The word sanctification here is to be applied much more to the Christian state than to any moral change in the persons; for a?, saints, is a common term for Christians - those who were baptized into the faith of Christ; and as its corresponding term ?? kedoshim signified all the Jews who were in the covenant of God by circumcision, t he heathens in question were considered to be in this holy state by means of their connection with those who were by their Christian profession saints.Else were your children unclean - If this kind of relative sanctification were not allowed, the children of these persons could not be received into the Christian Church, nor enjoy any rights, or privileges as Christians; but the Church of God never scrupled to admit such children as members, just as well as she did those who had sprung from parents both of whom were Christians. The Jews considered a child as born out of holiness whose parents were not proselytes at the time of the birth, though afterwards they became proselytes. On the other hand, they considered the children of heathens born in holiness, provided the parents became proselytes before the birth. All the children of the heathens were reputed unclean by the Jews; and all their own children holy. - See Dr. Lightfoot. This shows clearly what the apostles meaning is. If we consider the apostle as speaking of the children of heathens, we shall get a remarkable comment on this passage from Tertullian, who, in his treatise De Carne Christi, chaps. 37, 39, gives us a melancholy account of the height to which superstition and idolatry had arrived in his time among the Romans. "A child," says he, "from its very conception, was dedicated to the idols and demons they worshipped. While pregnant, the mother had her body swathed round with bandages, prepared with idolatrous rites. The embryo they conceived to be under the inspection of the goddess Alemona, who nourished it in the womb. Nona and Decima took care that it should be born in the ninth or tenth month. Partula adjusted every thing relative to the labor; and Lucina ushered it into the light. During the week preceding the birth a table was spread for Juno; and on the last day certain persons were called together to mark the moment on which the Parcae, or Fates, had fixed its destiny. The first step the child set on the earth was consecr ated to the goddess Statina; and, finally, some of the hair was cut off, or the whole head shaven, and the hair offered to some god or goddess through some public or private motive of devotion." He adds that "no child among the heathens was born in a state of purity; and it is not to be wondered at," says he, "that demons possess them from their youth, seeing they were thus early dedicated to their service." In reference to this, he thinks, St. Paul speaks in the verse before us: The unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife - else were your children unclean; but now are they holy; i.e. "As the parents were converted to the Christian faith, the child comes into the world without these impure and unhallowed rites; and is from its infancy consecrated to the true God."

What does this have to do with anything? I believe that "righteousness" is a gifted consideration in the mind of God (Ro 4:4) He sees faith and uses it as a substitute for [our] personal righteousness. Why? BECAUSE HE HAS TO !! Those you mentioned, above, are not exception to the rule of Romans 4:4. Agreed?! cd:" He has to"?? My God doesn't have to do nothing John-He chooses to do for us in His goodness.John our sin put us at odds with God-He had a quarrel with us and after we received Christ and confessed those sins we got grace given to us and those sin removed-that is what made unrighteous-It is then our task to keep from sinning and returning to that state again-and God shows us how-by walking in holiness. There is a big difference between works prior to salvation and works after salvation. Rom.4:4 is speaking to Abraham not us. Read what Wesley wrote on the matter. Rom 4:5 - But to him that worketh not - It being impossible he should without faith. But believeth, his faith is imputed to him for righteousness - Therefore God's affirming of Abraham, that faith was imputed to him for righteousness, plainly shows that he worked not; or, in other words, that he was not justified by works, but by faith only. Hence we see plainly how groundless that opinion is, that holiness or sanctification is previous to our justification. For the sinner, being first convinced of his sin and danger by the Spirit of God, stands trembling before the awful tribunal of divine justice ; and has nothing to plead, but his own guilt, and the merits of a Mediator. Christ here interposes; justice is satisfied; the sin is remitted, and pardon is applied to the soul, by a divine faith wrought by the Holy Ghost, who then begins the great work of inward sanctification. Thus God justifies the ungodly, and yet remains just, and true to all his attributes! But let none hence pr

The temptation to sin that arises from the nature of the flesh. cd: Both these passages is speaking of our Christian state not the Heathen state.

If he resisted the nature of his flesh, and we have received his spirit, then we too can resist the nature of our flesh, by his spirit. That is why this viewpoint is important.

I am not sure as to your point. The quote from Lightfoot seems to make my point. Judy's claim that the Passover is a sacrifice for the sins of Jewish children is so far off base as to be obviously errant. All the children of the heathens were reputed unclean by the Jews; and all their own children holy. - See Dr. Lightfoot jd - Original Message - From: To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org;TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: 2/2/2006 1:12:57 AM Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Was Jesus of God's Nature? So why is there no sin offering for children under the Old Law? -- Deu 24:16 The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin. cd:John notice that the punishment for sin worked both ways. Please take the time to read the below- only 3 paragraphs- it will save us both a lot of time and there is much wisdom here.-How do you agree/disagree? 1Co 7:14 - The unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife - Or rather, is to be reputed as sanctified on account of his wife; she being a Christian woman, and he, though a heathen, being by marriage one flesh with her: her sanctity, as far as it refers to outward things, may be considered as imputed to him so as to render their connection not unlawful. The case is the same when the wife is a heathen and the husband a Christian. The word sanctification here is to be applied much more to the Christian state than to any moral change in the persons; for a?, saints, is a common term for Christians - those who were baptized into the faith of Christ; and as its corresponding term ?? kedoshim signified all the Jews who were in the covenant of God by circumcision, t he heathens in question were considered to be in this holy state by means of their connection with those who were by their Christian profession saints.Else were your children unclean - If this kind of relative sanctification were not allowed, the children of these persons could not be received into the Christian Church, nor enjoy any rights, or privileges as Christians; but the Church of God never scrupled to admit such children as members, just as well as she did those who had sprung from parents both of whom were Christians. The Jews considered a child as born out of holiness whose parents were not proselytes at the time of the birth, though afterwards they became proselytes. On the other hand, they considered the children of heathens born in holiness, provided the parents became proselytes before the birth. All the children of the heathens were reputed unclean by the Jews; and all their own children holy. - See Dr. Lightfoot. This shows clearly what the apostles meaning is. If we consider the apostle as speaking of the children of heathens, we shall get a remarkable comment on this passage from Tertullian, who, in his treatise De Carne Christi, chaps. 37, 39, gives us a melancholy account of the height to which superstition and idolatry had arrived in his time among the Romans. "A child," says he, "from its very conception, was dedicated to the idols and demons they worshipped. While pregnant, the mother had her body swathed round with bandages, prepared with idolatrous rites. The embryo they conceived to be under the inspection of the goddess Alemona, who nourished it in the womb. Nona and Decima took care that it should be born in the ninth or tenth month. Partula adjusted every thing relative to the labor; and Lucina ushered it into the light. During the week preceding the birth a table was spread for Juno; and on the last day certain persons were called together to mark the moment on which the Parcae, or Fates, had fixed its destiny. The first step the child set on the earth was consecr ated to the goddess Statina; and, finally, some of the hair was cut off, or the whole head shaven, and the hair offered to some god or goddess through some public or private motive of devotion." He adds that "no child among the heathens was born in a state of purity; and it is not to be wondered at," says he, "that demons possess them from their youth, seeing they were thus early dedicated to their service." In reference to this, he thinks, St. Paul speaks in the verse before us: The unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife - else were your children unclean; but now are they holy; i.e. "As the parents were converted to the Christian faith, the child comes into the world without these impure and unhallowed rites; and is from its infancy consecrated to the true God."

He took on sinful flesh tocondemn sin in the flesh. This he did in his life, death, and resurrection -- sin totally condemned, totally defeated! Thus his resurrected humanity is "perfected," now completely victorious. Sin, death, and the devil have absolutely no bearing upon his resurrected humanity; for in his resurrection the tyrants are totally defeated, death being the last enemy to fall--as we too will discover in the resurrection: "Death is swallowed up in victory.O Death, where is your sting?

We have three states. One of the old lost man-one of the new man whom has defeated death as you say- and later we will be transformed into his likeness. So my original statement stands, Christ was not of the common man/heathrenstate as he was filled with the Holy Ghost as we are now- the old man wasn't Spirit filled as he had a quarrel with God-Christ never had a quarrel with God as God stated He was well pleased with His son-so am I. But nobody is perfect 100 %of the timewhen speaking of the Bible -still this really good work. 2) You keep speaking of Jesus, prior to the crucifixion,as having had the same nature we have now as Christians on the other side of the cross. But that is not so. Paul writes, "Therefore, from now on, we regard no man according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer" (2Cor 5.16).There isno new birth or new man ornew creation apart from the resurrection. It is the glorified Christ who sends us his Spirit, notChrist before having finished the workwhich he came to do. Why do you suppose he did not send the Counselor until after his ressurection? Because the tyants had not yet been fully defeated. Ah but in his resurrection there is new birth, a new man, a new creation. We are born into his absolute victory over sin, death, and the devil. Hence, we are now engaged in a daily struggle between two natures, our old flesh nature that wants to return to its former ways, and the new resurr ected nature of Christ. But because this relationship is not semetrical either, we do not have to give into that old man; we can put him to death every day. In other words, "Christ in us, the hope of glory" is Christ resurrectedand ascended. "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me" (Gal2.19). - Original Message - From: Dean Moore To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: Wednesday, February 01, 2006 6:54 PM Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Was Jesus of God's Nature? - Original Message - From: Taylor To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: 2/1/2006 8:40:22 AM Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Was Jesus of God's Nature?

Re: [TruthTalk] Was Jesus of God's Nature?
Where in NT scripture do you find the conversion of a single child? A child is not lost, for starters -- so there is no need. What child evangelism does is this -- it gives the adult church the false sense thatit is taking the gospel to the world. I wouldn't mind "child conversions" if there was some kind of confirmation as they reached an adult age. 80% of all reported conversions in the US are children. Not the casewith the undergroundChurchsuch as in China. jd - Original Message - From: To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org;TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: 2/2/2006 2:00:44 PM Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Was Jesus of God's Nature?

So we agree. - Also, if Romans 3:23 tells us that we are always short of the glory of God -- this side of the "next Life." In that phrase is the old nature. God has no choicewhen it comes to sin. We [always] do -- in this life. --- cd: Romans3:23 is speakingof the old man-the past sins-the new man can choose not to sin.Look at Romans 3: 25 Actually, 3:23 talks about sin in the past tense and "falling short of the glory" in the present and current (ongoing) tense. Falling short of the glory is what is going on right now. God does not count this against us because He sees us and existing within Christ. V 25 does not alter this situation. Nothing does. That is why we have a perpetual need for Jesus. Wesley says this -- All the sins antecedent to their believing. I do not believe this. It limits the notion that Christ dies once and for all time and flies in the face of the confidence we Christians have concerning God's willingness to finish the work He has begun in us. jd Rom 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; J.Wesley wrote: Rom 3:25 - Whom God hath set forth - Before angels and men. A propitiation - To appease an offended God. But if, as some teach, God never was offended, there was no need of this propitiation. And, if so, Christ died in vain.

Re: [TruthTalk] Was Jesus of God's Nature?
This is as good a brief on this matter as I have read. I thought this point was especially good But because this relationship is not semetrical either, we do not have to give into that old man We read, I read, others andthat reading I add those comments to what I already hold to be true. In time, it becomes a part of who I am - I possess the agreeable thoughts of others. In the possessing, these comments will reflect the intellectual nest into which they have landed (my little brain) and when expressed - they may or may not be representative (exactly) of the original author.

That aside, I'll share a couple thoughts: 1) The ressurected Christ does not have the same nature in his humanity that he did prior to his crucifixion. He took on sinful flesh tocondemn sin in the flesh. This he did in his life, death, and resurrection -- sin totally condemned, totally defeated! Thus his resurrected humanity is "perfected," now completely victorious. Sin, death, and the devil have absolutely no bearing upon his resurrected humanity; for in his resurrection the tyrants are totally defeated, death being the last enemy to fall--as we too will discover in the resurrection: "Death is swallowed up in victory.O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?" 2) You keep speaking of Jesus, prior to the crucifixion,as having had the same nature we have now as Christians on the other side of the cross. But that is not so. Paul writes, "Therefore, from now on, we regard no man according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer" (2Cor 5.16).There isno new birth or new man ornew creation apart from the resurrection. It is the glorified Christ who sends us his Spirit, notChrist before having finished the workwhich he came to do. Why do you suppose he did not send the Counselor until after his ressurection? Because the tyants had not yet been fully defeated. Ah but in his resurrection there is new birth, a new man, a new creation. We are born into his absolute victory over sin, death, and the devil. Hence, we are now engaged in a daily struggle between two natures, our old flesh nature that wants to return to its former ways, and the new resurr ected nature of Christ. But because this relationship is not semetrical either, we do not have to give into that old man; we can put him to death every day. In other words, "Christ in us, the hope of glory" is Christ resurrectedand ascended. "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me" (Gal2.19). - Original Message - From: Dean Moore To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: Wednesday, February 01, 2006 6:54 PM Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Was Jesus of God's Nature? - Original Message - From: Taylor To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: 2/1/2006 8:40:22 AM Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Was Jesus of God's Nature?

Re: [TruthTalk] Was Jesus of God's Nature?
Judy wrote: David, I don't see the immaculate conception and the assumption of Mary as divinely inspired ideas; both are the thinking of religious spirits through men of the cloth. I'm glad to hear that, but history tells us that those who embrace the premise which you have will be forced eventually either to abandon their premise or accept the logical consequence of their thinking that Mary herself had to be different too. Judy wrote: Also I believe that going on and on about David's genitals is equally bizarre. What is too difficult for God? Does he have to do things the same way every time? We must start with the premise that God did it this way because the Bible teaches us that he did it this way. Then we seek to understand it. As we do, we come to an understanding of justice and God's legal system that helps us understand it. We also come to understand the full extent of salvation, and how salvation culminated at the cross, but was not entirely accomplised only by what happened at the cross. There is so much more that could be said, but not enough time to say it all. My point is only that God could do it in many different ways, but we are taught in Scripture how he did it. We should accept that. Judy wrote: Scripture says Jesus was born of the woman and he was born pure and holy - without the taint of the first Adam. This is what I believe. The last part, without the taint of the first Adam, is not in the Bible. It is your interpretation of the word holy. My perspective is that the taint of the first Adam being resident within the physical body does not automatically make a person unholy. Else, how could John the Baptist be filled with the Holy Ghost from his mother's womb? As for the rest of what you said, I agree. Jesus was born of the woman and was pure and holy.

I'd have to disagree with every point made by Bill in his post about the two Adams; Bill you are totally into flesh and blood - even your theology is earthly. The first Adam was fruitful and he did multiply - in the flesh. He had Cain, Abel, Seth and no telling how many others since he lived for 967 or so years. The second Adam, contrary to your claim was not born into the fall. He is the Lord from Heaven; and was the Lord of life from His birth. He didn't generate any physical life though and he died unmarried and childless. judyt cd: MaybeI shouldn't have read the post so quickly-but i am trying to answer them all.

Re: [TruthTalk] Was Jesus of God's Nature?
You are still blending the natures of Christ, Dean. The result is mixing you up. The Divinity of Christ was in no way tainted by his humanity. As God and man, Christdefeated sin inhis own flesh, rendering it powerless in his resurrection from the grave. In the new birth we are born into his resurrection, new creatures; hence we are given life from beyond the tomb, where sin, death, and the devil cannot reach us -- if, that is, wedaily put to death that oldman who still wants to rear his head.

Re: [TruthTalk] Was Jesus of God's Nature?
Judy wrote: Christ is not the literal seed of David's genitals Bill and by your insistance that he is you have far more scripture to explain away than I do. Actually, Bill does not have to explain away any Scriptures at all. However, you have the problem of Acts 2:30. There are other passages as well that would cause your understanding trouble. Judy wrote: The reason the Messiah was to be born of the woman was because she is less responsible than Adam for the transgression. This is not true. Judy wrote: She was deceived, Adam was not. He shirked his responsibility and then chose to go with the woman rather than take a stand for righteousness. I received a revelation concerning this once. I realize that such is sometimes difficult to hear... God told me it was this way, so you need to accept it. :-) I'm not saying it with that attitude. I'm only testifying to you that such did happen to me. The Lord told me that Eve sinned in the same way as the angels did, and if it were only left there, no human being could be saved because this amounted to what Scripture calls, willful sin. She knew what she was doing. I immediately asked him about the passage that says that the woman was deceived. From my perspective at that time, I thought this passage indicated the opposite of rebellion, that she was kind of tricked like someone stealing candy from a baby. He said that the word deceived there did not mean what I thought it meant. It meant that she was taken in by Lucifer's ideology and accepted it. It is called deception not because it was not willful rebellion against God, but because the ideology itself is falsehood. We can say that the angels who sinned were deceived by Lucifer, yet we know that their rebellion was willful, and therefore there is no plan of redemption for them. In contrast to Eve, Adam was not deceived. He did not act in rebellion, but out of love and trust toward his wife. The fact that God did indeed consider them one created a unique situation. God could not save one without saving the other. Therefore, because of the man's authority over the woman, and because woman was created for the man, the legality of it all allows the woman to be saved. Much of this is taught in passages like 1 Tim. 2 (esp. v. 15) and 1 Cor. 11 (esp. v. 10), but it is not obvious to everyone who reads it. Judy wrote: The curse comes by way of the father and Jesus is the ONLY one begotten this way. A spiritual curse does indeed come down through the father, but the physical effects of the curse come down through both mother and father. We know this from our basic knowledge of biology, DNA, genetic inheritance, meiosis, and ethology. You have your interpretation of why there was a virgin birth, and it is related to a false idea of blood inheritance from some medical doctor you quoted who is all wrong on that. It also is related to your perspective that behavior is completely spiritual, because your view is that the ghost operates the physical body. I don't believe that completely. The body is not neutral. It is not just a machine. The body creates emotions, passions, desires, and all manner of things that effect behavior. Behavior comes from both the spirit and the physical body. This is why believers must die daily and keep their bodies in subjection. We have received the Spirit of the Lord that we might do the things of God, but if we live according to the flesh, we will die because it still serves self. Only when our behavior is directed solely by the Spirit do we experience the life of the Spirit. Jesus was born pure in his spirit because his identity was from heaven. However, being born of the woman and being descended from the loins of David and Abraham indicate that his physical body was not that perfect body that Adam had before the fall. Rather, all the genetic mutations that exist in all of our bodies also existed in his. The desires of the flesh also operated in his body. In short, the effect of the curse upon the physical body were transmitted to his body through the DNA of Mary. We call this physical depravity. Physical depravity is not the same as moral depravity (see Charles Finney for details). Jesus was not under moral depravity, but he was under physical depravity. This does not make him unholy. It shows us what a victorious lion of God he really was. It teaches us that he conquered the flesh and that he did not only atone for sins by hanging on a cross for hours.

Re: [TruthTalk] Was Jesus of God's Nature?
Aaaa, another scripture that does not go to the discussion. The fact of the matter is this, in using that scripture I am illustrating the consideration that was the preveailing thought in Jewish thinking concerning what you call "the generational curse." That Christ was born of a woman made Him no different in nature than anyone else and, for the Jew, this meant that He was not pure. If "generational curses" are true and apply to all of mankind, then Christ was not pure. The fact that you eliminate the woman from this "genertional curse" is only JudyLogic. If the "generational curse" doctrine is true, then you have a biblical problem in this Job refeence. But scripture is not your guide. You are. jd -- Original message -- From: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Job is not alluding to what you are trying to say JD. You need to study what God has to say rather than trying to put words in His mouth like you do with the rest of us constantly. Sin comes down generationally by way of the father. I understand Mary had a father also but that's just the way it is. You see Israel in Nehemiah's day as a nation repenting for the iniquities of their fathers.

Re: [TruthTalk] Was Jesus of God's Nature?
Could you make a line-item response, similar to what David does. For me to respond to you, specifically, and have you write something that is not responsive allows for endless debate. "Sinful nature" is not "sinning nature." I have a human nature that is given to sin. I can refuse to so act - but given enough time, I will commit sin. I and you - respond to our human nature in the same way as Adam. Christ chose not to sin. His life makes us all liars when we say that we cannot act righteously. You say that God does not ask us to do what we cannot do. Well, he asked the Jews to live the law long before He gave a personal indwelling ... proving that we can live the law without the Spirit's indwelling according to your reasoning. Perhaps the Spirit's Indwelling accomplishes other purposes if we, in fact, can live a righteous life without it? Wow !! For me, "cannot" and "will not" have the same conclusion in my life. The only difference, as I see it, is that the first consideration makes God guilty (creating me with no chance at doing what He commanded), the second reveals my own complicity. And, as if there were any question, Jesus assumes my nature and does what I might argue "cannot be done," making me a liar and deserving of sin. I have long believed that Christ's life and oral ministry left me deserving of death and without excuse. His death on the cross took that condemnation away. jd - Original Message - From: To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org;TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: 1/31/2006 9:57:58 AM Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Was Jesus of God's Nature?

The point is that if he came from the loins of King David, meaning that his genetic material came from him, then his body was the same kind of body that his ancestors had. If the sin nature resides in the flesh, as Paul concludes in Romans 7, then Jesus got it too. He inherited it in the same way he would inherit his eye color, hair color, skin color, etc. This does not mean that Jesus was a sinner. It means that he experienced the weakness of the flesh and had to resist the desire of the body to please itself rather than others. His walk of love was a walk of self denial. When he laid down his life for us, it was one of the hardest things he ever did. It was the ultimate walk of self denial. In the cross, the climax of his victory over the flesh was manifested.

Dean, I say this with the utmost sincerity: You really do need to let go of your alloy view of Jesus; it can only confuse you. Bill cd: This is also getting old John-Christ never camein the heathen state we were brought to His state as Christians.

And so it is written, "The first man Adam became a living being." The last Adam became a life-giving Spirit. -- 1 Corinthians 15.45-47 The first Adam was made from dust and received from Godthe breath of life. His mandate was one: "Be fruitful and multiply."But rather than doing what he was told, Adam chose instead to do the inexplicable. Adam'ssin brought death not only to himself but also to all of his descendants -- Jesus included.What did the first Adam produce? He produced death. The second Adam was born into the fall of the first. But he was also God. In this one person of Christ God and man came together and accomplished what man alone could not do: the undoing of the firstAdam. Throughout his life, Christ's response to the fall was not to sin, not to do what Adam had done, but to do his Father's will. Hence in his person, Christ reclaimed Adam's posterity (not to mention Adam himself), defeating what had brought death to them all. Then Christ paid the ultimate price: he died on their behalf. Ah, but because he had defeated in his own flesh that which had condemnedthe flesh of Adam, death had no power to hold him.Now in ascension the Second Adam sends his spirit to give life to thosewho could only die without him. Who is the Second Adam? He is the life-giving Spirit. --- cd:Right-Then how can can the Second Adam be the same as the first? You guys are stating thatChrist was no different than Hitler but Hitler was the same as the first Adam "exactly the same"-in the above you showthe second Adamto be different. This isour point.IfChrist was the same as the first we are still in our sins Bill. - This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by Plains.Net, and is believed to be clean.
