What anyone thinks about the matter is irrelevant. It’s what Scripture says that’s important.

Scripture says that the sin nature comes through the father.

It came into the world through Adam. In Adam, all sinned.

I know that Catholics like to believe that is through Eve, so that they can attribute participation in salvation to Mary, but all that surrounding her is unscriptural as well.

[Cronos]

Cronos: I would agree except that we know that Jesus is/was a Jew and if Jewishness is not transferred through the maternal line, then we cannot say He was a Jew. Correct?

Can you quote scripture on "Jewishness"?
