President George Bush said, "As far as I'm concerned, Barbara Bush is a gift to me from God."
What would you like to know about that statement?
I'm not Catholic so perhaps I shouldn't be adding anything to this caucus. Please let me know if you feel that is true and I will back out.
I wanted to comment on your interpretation of Gen.3:15. This is not a criticism but another view on that scripture.
"I will put enmity between you and the woman, between
your seed and her seed." This refers to Jesus
(the "emnity") and Mary (the "woman"). The phrase "her
seed" (spermatos) is not seen elsewhere in Scripture."
My view is that the enmity God placed is between Satan and his offspring, his seed, and that of the woman Eve, and her offspring - Jesus. So "It shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise His heel" was the first prophecy and 1/2 of that has happened. Our Savior's heel was nailed to the cross and the deadly blow of bruising "thy head" will happen to Satan at His return.
"The phrase "her seed" (spermatos) is not seen elsewhere
in Scripture."
I believe that same seed (seed of Satan) is again referenced in Matthew 13 where Christ tells us of what to expect in end times: 13:24-30 and 37-39.
Again, this has nothing to do with Catholic/Protestant religion. It's just what I have learned and if it is out of place on this thread, I apologize.
:-)
I'm sorry - My apologies
