You guys came up with this craziness about sin only being passed down through the father. And you heckle us about Mary...
I was talking about the sin nature coming through the father, which is Scriptural. The genealogies listed in Scripture follow through the father.
. It says nowhere in Scripture that sin only passes through the father. That single passage in Romans is often used as justification, but it doesn't say that.
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.*.
Entering the world is not the same as passing it on only by the father.
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.
Twaddle. If we combine two female eggs to produce a human, are you going to claim that the child is sinless since she has no father? If there is no other reference than the really weak interpretation of Romans 5:12, then Bahble Bleevers (tm) have no justification whatsoever in holding this true. It is not specifically Scripture and it sure cannot be deduced without using what Joseph Smith used to write the Book of Mormon.
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.
None of them say what you say it proves.
Where are yours to support YOUR contention that it comes through the mother?
I never said anything of the sort. Read back through the thread and see. I just said words to the effect that this father-transmitted "sin nature" was unScriptural and therefore you guys at least should have nothing to do with it, and should really denounce it since it is not found in the Bible.
Still waiting for Scripture references to show that the sin nature enters through the woman........
You can’t legitimately argue that I have no point because you think that I have no Scripture with which to back up my statements, when you are making statements that you aren’t backing up with anything substantial, much less any Scripture.
