I have been in and around Christian beliefs and arguements for over 30 years. I have never heard of this theory/belief.
Why would anyone even ask such a question is what I want to know? If a small group of people from somewhere believe this, fine, but it doesn’t represent one one thousandth of one percent of those who claim Christ as their savior. The question was asinine. Silly. Of no substance whatsoever.
The serpent/seed false doctrine has been around for a while, being mostly popular among Word of Faith cultists.
In post #10,599 Kolo asked M-L-G: "...the West really doesn’t believe that Christ’s bloody sacrifice was meant to propitiate a wrathful and blood lusting god. Tell me I got it wrong, MLG"
The scriptures are clear on this point.
Post #10,608 of Kolo: The god you worship does demand innocent blood does it not?
From post #10, 618 of Kolo: You’ve really got to tell me why you think Orthodoxy rejects the teaching that Christ died on the Cross, suffered the penalty of sin which is death, in a very bloody manner, on account of our sins? MLG, The Church understands what it determined you would read for scripture, honest, it does. So why don’t you tell me what we reject.
What the Orthodox reject is Christ paying the penalty for our sins which is the essences of the atonement. What the Orthodox believe in is that Christ showed us the way in dying for all mankind and now we are able to imitate that behavior. Sorry, that was never the teachings of the western church fathers and I be willing to bet that it was never the teachings of the very early eastern church fathers.
Kolo's post #10,625: And actually quite a bit of “evidence” that Moses was in fact an Egyptian prince, a monotheist and no more a Jew than I am.
This is a very weird statement considering the fact that Aaron, Moses' brother was from the tribe of Levi.
And then there was a host of comments on satan having intercourse with Eve to produce Cain. Wow, did I miss that. That's what I get for having to work for a living. It just goes to show that people can create all sorts of doctrine and have other people believe it. Too bad they don't use the bible but trust in the judgment of men. ;O)
If you are correct in your recent theology, why did God allow humanity to wallow in darkness for 1500 years until some Western Europeans who were angry with an Italian pope/monarch finally set everyone straight
Sorry again Kolo. You should know by now we trace our heritage back to the early church fathers. The fact that the Orthodox/Catholics got off track with all those idol worshiping icons and praying to Mary and the such is an illustration to us all of what happens when you trust men instead of His word. The Reformers simply brought the church back to where it should have been but, once again, Protestants are veering off.
In a way I do find it a bit disingenuous on how you will play nice to the Catholics while their around and then slam them with their western views.
