I have explained this numerous times, Judy. Reread my post of
a few days ago pertaining to the intrinsic vs extrinsic nature of the Atonement
for starters. By the way, thanks for being honest. This should clarify any
confusion Dean may have had about being in agreement with you in regards to
Christ being a genetic descendent of David et al.

No; my belief is that Jesus was fathered in the womb
of Mary by the Holy Spirit
Why is the flesh connection so important to you
Bill?
I believe he was fruit of David's genitals according to
the flesh, Judy. Do you believe the same?
He does not have a human father Bill; he was
fathered by the Holy Spirit and the family he was born into is
that
of Abraham/David. Why are you so adamant
about what you can not possibly know. He was born holy. David was
not
(see Psalm 51:5) "Behold I was shapen in iniquity
and in sin did my mother conceive me" So Bill are you saying
that
Jesus was born from natural seed and inherited
the "iniquities of the fathers" also??
I have no problem whatsoever with the Seed having a spiritual
element, Judy, but that is not the issue, is it? Do you deny that Jesus'
"flesh body" is of the genetic material of Abraham and David?
The seed to whom the promises were made is SPIRITUAL SEED Bill and the second
Adam is spiritual also (see 1 Cor 15:45,46). Please don't try to make it
something it is not. Abraham BELIEVED God and it was counted to
him for righteousness. His sperma who
thought they all had it made in the shade got a rude awakening in John
8:33; Jesus burst their bubble so to
speak. The seed of Abraham are the children of faith or "spiritual
seed" see also Galatians 3:29. I am not saying that Jesus did not
walk around in a flesh body as the gnostics of John's day did - so
please do not bring out the old red rebellion flag once more
because it is getting quite wearisome....

Bill you have a Greek gospel because your
faith rests in Gk words .. I wonder, are all Greeks
saved??
Jesus Christ is who His Own Word says he is
whether or not orthodoxy agrees and whether you see it or not.
Right now you are attempting to validate the pronouncements
of orthodoxy which is the religion you hold to.

"I am
the Rhiza ('Root' or
'Life-source') and the Genos
(from which we get 'gene' and 'genome,' hence 'Offspring')
of David."
Indeed, Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man --
he is both the Maker and the receiver of David's "genetic"
material. Likewise, "Before Abraham was I AM," and "Now to
Abraham and his Seed were the promises made; he does not say, 'And
to seeds,' as of many, but as of one, 'And to your Seed,' who is
Christ."
