If you have a Jewish friend or acquaintance, ask. I will accept your apologies at your leisure. Jewishness is matrilinear; if your father is Jewish and your mother is not, you are not considered Jewish until you convert.
Read the Bible some time. The genealogies are through the father.
We were not talking about genealogies; we were talking about Jewishness being matrilinear after the complete insanity of the claims that the sin nature was only passed on through the father. Completely insane claim and nowhere supported Scripturally. Consider this: if two female eggs are combined to produce human life, does that mean that the child has no sin? Bahble Bleevers (tm) come up with the dumbest things, claiming Scriptural support which is normally found very wanting, or non existent - like this crazy idea.
No, WE weren't. I was talking about genealogies in Scripture. You were talking about cultural Judaism.
I was talking about the sin nature coming through the father, which is Scriptural. The genealogies listed in Scripture follow through the father.
In Abraham all the nations of the earth are blessed. in *in Sarah*. Not *in Eve all sinned*. Not *sin entered the world through Eve.*.
The sin nature comes through the father. It is Scriptural. The reason that Jesus had no sin nature was because His father was God, who knew no sin.
I provided the Scripture references to back up my contention that the sin nature comes through the father and yet you're telling me that it is unscriptural.
Where are yours to support YOUR contention that it comes through the mother?
