Message 39 Faith says:
I agree with your overall point by the way, but just had to answer this: The reason Jesus was virgin-born was that He was God as well as man, so he got his genes straight from God rather than from a human father; and there is another reason as well, in that the Savior could not BE the Savior if he had ordinary inheritance from a human father, because we all inherit the sin of Adam that way, and Jesus had to be free of that inherited sin from the fathers in order to be the unblemished Lamb of God, without any sin at all, who took on the sins of believers.
This is an astounding statement from several perspectives. First it says that God is nothing but flesh and blood, just another critter that can pass on genes.
Second it implies that the strange idea of Original Sin is not passed down through women, but only men, that it is only the sins of the fathers that is at issue.
Somehow that seems to imply that fadder sins don't get passed to daughter but only sons.
So I'm curious.
If God is just another bit of gene contributing protoplasm, how is he any different than any other guy screwing a virgin?
If there really is some Original sin, why is it not equally from Adam and Eve, and passed down by both mother and father?
