Eliyahu said:Ann,
I didn't say that Jesus didn't come out of Seed of Abraham, but said Jesus is not the biological seed of Abraham.
If Jesus was the Bio Seed of Abraham, then how was He formed ?
Ovum of any woman is not designed to be fertilized with the Word of God.
The Bible itself never support such idea.
Word became the Flesh is the fundamental truth, and Catholic denies such Truth claiming that the flesh of Mary became flesh of Jesus !
Mary was used as a Surrogate Mother, and that's it !
Jesus was born in the family of David's because both Joseph and Mary belonged to him, and that was called " seed of David"
mrtumnus said:I'm sure we could have some interesting discussions regarding how the Bible 'proves' Mary had a sin nature.
However, even if this were true -- you are saying that the power of the Holy Spirit overshadowing Mary would not correct this in Jesus?
And please explain how Jesus "was made of the seed of David according to the flesh" if Mary was not really his mother?
Frankly Eliyahu, I have no idea how you're making your conclusions here. I've never said "flesh became flesh". The question is the method God used for the Word to become flesh. And I think that is biologically through Mary, so that the prophecy regarding the seed of David is fulfilled.Eliyahu said:You are claiming the false theory because you don't know much about the grammar there.
In Heb 2:16, the spermatos is not the objective form but the genitive form which means that certain natures and attributes of the Sperm of Abraham. What the Bible says there is that Jesus didn't come as an Angel, but as a human being with the attributes of the seed of Abraham.
Galatians 4:4 is far away and nobody among the Catholics claim the Biological motherhood from there.
The Fundamental Truth is that Jesus is God, the Word of God became Flesh, not the Flesh became flesh.
The more strongly you insist the Biological Motherhood of Jesus, the more strongly you are denying the Truth that the Word became Flesh, declaring that you don't believe the Fundamental Truth of Christianity.
Believe me, Word became Flesh.
If you claim Biological Motherhood, are you saying this way?
Word became Flesh - component A
Flesh of Mary became Flesh- Component B
So, are you claiming that Jesus had 2 kinds of fleshes?
Surrogate motherhood has nothing to do with the 'seed' of David that I can see.Eliyahu said:By Surrogate Motherhood.
Surrogate Motherhood.
Okay, I will admit to being a little out of my league here in terms of Greek etc. However, does GENITIVE not mean 'Possessive"?Eliyahu said:In this discussion, Heb 2:16 is important and the word " Spermatos" is NOT Objective form, but GENITIVE !
If Jesus was the seed of Abraham, why does the Bible say Spermatos in Genitive form?
You would be correct in this Ann (I'm glad to see I'm not going crazy).annsni said:The womb of any woman is also not designed to carry the Word of God - and it takes no greater miracle to have Mary's seed fertilized by the Spirit than it does to create a completely new being in her.
Again, can you show me any reputable Christian resource that agrees with you in this? Because I just cannot find it at all when I googled this thought. Historical Christianity says that Jesus was born of Mary's seed.
mrtumnus said:You would be correct in this Ann (I'm glad to see I'm not going crazy).
Okay, maybe there's not enough evidence to support that I'm not crazy.
This idea is relatively new theologically but is beginning to make its rounds. It is not the first time I've seen it (John Hagee preaches this as well).

annsni said:See, I said a REPUTABLE Christian source.Yeah - while I so not agree with you that Mary is the mother of God, she WAS the physical mother of Jesus and I think it's a standard belief of mainstream,historical Christianity.
Yes, last I checked, Hagee's latest book declares that Jesus was not the Messiah prophesied for the Jews.annsni said:See, I said a REPUTABLE Christian source.Yeah - while I so not agree with you that Mary is the mother of God, she WAS the physical mother of Jesus and I think it's a standard belief of mainstream,historical Christianity.
Joe said:Jesus not only could, but did live his whole life sinless.
1 Peter 2:22 says, "He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth." 1 John 3:5 says, ". . . And in him is no sin."
Jesus father, our father, Mary’s father, OUR GOD was sinless.
Hebrew 4:15 says, "For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are - yet was without sin."
Mary is not sinless. If she were sinless, she couldn’t be saved by her son’s sacrifice on the Cross.
Romans 6:23 says, "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." This is while Jesus is still in the womb.
If Jesus was Mary’s biological son, he would have to inherit a sin nature. This goes against the purpose in which God sent our Savior. For him to die on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins
The “Overshadowing” speaking in that verse is the holy spirit impregnanting Mary, using her womb as an incubator. She is a surrogate mother, there is no other way around it.
You can’t redefine “overshadowing” to mean making Jesus perfect. He was already perfect, as was his seed. Jesus did not need correction.[/B]
Also note below here the word a. It doesn’t say HER Son (Mary’s son) but a son. This separation, imo, helps to prove that Jesus is not Mary’s biological son.
Luke 1:28-33
31And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
mrtumnus said:Yes, last I checked, Hagee's latest book declares that Jesus was not the Messiah prophesied for the Jews.
It is always nice to find common ground Ann. :thumbs:
Eliyahu said:In order for Mary to become the Biological Mother, there must be a link between the body of Jesus and that of Mary, namely,
- 1)the Ovum of Mary became the flesh without sperm
-2) the ovum of Mary became the flesh by fertilization with the Word of God
-3) any other part of flesh of Mary became the flesh by non-sexual reproduction like mutagenic reaction, etc.
Which one are you talking about?
Who did I make a false accusation against exactly?Eliyahu said:You are trying to make the false accusation again which was typical of Roman Catholic when they tortured and killed many innocent Christian believers.
I believe that Jesus is the Messiah prophesied for the Jews and Israel.
But I believe that Word became the Flesh, none of the flesh of Mary became flesh of Jesus.
I feel like the cavalry showed up.:love2:annsni said:I'm speaking that the Holy Spirit came upon Mary, and with her ovum, created the physical body that Jesus indwelt. HOW this is done, that's between God and ..... God.I wasn't there nor do I have Mary's medical records. I DO have the Word of God that says that the seed of Eve would bruise the serpent's head. That would mean that Jesus has a physical connection to the human race - more than a being created completely apart from mankind.

Eliyahu said:Does it deny that Word became flesh?
So, are you saying that the Ovum made the Asexual Reproduction?
So the seed of Eve became flesh, do you mean?
How would you explain the Flesh came from the Word?
I already explained the Seed of Eve means the Surrogate Motherhood, then what is your explanation on the formation of Body of Christ, with the connection with the body of Mary?
Eliyahu said:You are very much coward and dishonest, and God knows your tricky mind
already.
Didn't you insinuate that I am denying the Messiahood of Jesus as John Hagee does, in the above post like the following?
