Re 47909

Nobody is making the argument that Jesus is a woman

Huh? Where did this come from?

Well, I said that Jesus' humanity came only from His mother. Having no biological human father, He would be "related" only to Mary.

You then pointed out that women don't have y chromosones, which would make an offspring of Mary by necessity a woman.

I pointed out that this is not a limitation that God could not overcome. Through some process, not ever to be understood while on earth, God took the genetic material of Mary and used it to create the male body which God then used to become Incarnate.

Re 47939

This is going to sound harsh and it's going to come out wrong, but babies first and foremost are totally and completely selfsish. Their wants and needs come totally before anything else in their world. It might be said that they're totally immeresed in themselves which of course is the exact opposite of Godliness. Not that it's their fault, it's what sin did to the world. It's a great physical survival tool, but doesn't do anything spiritually.

Actually, I don't disagree with you.

If you read this earlier in the week, you will see that I do not believe a person has "sinned" unless they are competent of the idea of sin and free to choose their actions. In short, if the baby does not know he is doing wrong, does not even have the concept of right and wrong, then the baby is not guilty of any "sin."

So you describe a baby's actions as "selfish" and "willful" but I do not see how they can be "sinful."

Remember, the Fall was related to eating from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Until Adam and Eve were able to "know" what was right and what was wrong, there was no sin.

In our development as children, we relive this in microcosm.
