Why wasn't Mary's sin passed on to Jesus?

The Orthodox Presbyterian Church ^

[Mrs. Don-o]

I love these Scriptures; I am fascinated by God's gift of Himself to us in the Incarnation; but I understand that some people prefer to insult rather than to patiently explain their own point of view.

It's OK. It's my bedtime now. Good night and God bless you.

[Brian Kopp DPM]

You chose to go down the path of patronizing and belittling and yet post this response?

Wow. That’s chutzpah.

Have a good day nonetheless and God bless you.

Actually, the interesting thing is that AB plasma is the universal plasma donor. It is the blood plasma that protects the body from infections.

Don’t confuse sin with immorality. Sin is simply missing the mark of God’s Plan.

It wasn’t God’s Plan for Adam to have sinned in the Garden.

The sin is passed genetically from the male to each generation of human.

All humans has missed the mark of God’s Plan. None are qualified to provide an appropriate sacrifice for that which they denied God, our spiritual fellowship, because we are all spiritually flawed.

Only Christ Jesus, in His perfect humanity was qualified to perform that task.

The splitting of the veil in two and the Resurrection bear testimony to this success.

Show me where I have patronized or belittled anyone.

"The debate is not about what is or is not in scripture but whose interpretation is correct."

Please forgive the intrusion but the above stood out to me as I've commented on a few occasions that many seem far more interested in who's the interpretation is rather than what the interpretation is.Would that it was as you've expressed but the reality is that when push comes to shove,many RCs here will defer to "yoipos" as though it were a magic sword.

grace and peace to you

Posting the Nicene Creed and the Apostles Creed to explain away the issue of goddess worship in the Catholic Church is the equivalent of posting the Pledge of Allegiance to prove Obama isn’t a an anti-American Communist.

I coined “Yopios” years ago here and had the graphic made up for it so I tend to think more often than not its used appropriately :0)

[BipolarBob]

I agree with you. I just stated in a nutshell what his “data dump” reasoning was. I didn’t agree with it. Mary, to me, comes under the “All have sinned” category and all of the examples in the Bible show mankind is not to be elevated and worshiped. Only God deserves worship. They will camouflage their worship with other words (adore,respect or other such) but it doesn’t change things.

[mitch5501]

Well at least we know who to blame for those confounded cereal boxes!

You don't see a contradiction?

[Brian Kopp DPM]

No. Christ built a Church and gave it authority to teach and preach. Peter was quite clear that there are those who, reading scripture, twist its interpretation to their own destruction. The eunuch clearly needed someone to explain scripture to him.

If scripture was self interpreting, or if the Holy Spirit correctly guides each individual believer to understand the correct interpretation of scripture, we wouldn't have tens of thousands of competing christian sects, each contradicting the other.

No, Yopios simply doesn't work; sola scriptura ain't scriptural.

[mitch5501]

So the debate is actually about who's the interpretation is rather than what the interpretation is?

[BipolarBob]

You said "sola scriptura ain't scriptural."

. 2Tim 3:16,17 16 "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work."

[Brian Kopp DPM]

Yeah, that's in my bible too, but it doesn't prove sola scriptura.

[BipolarBob]

It just doesn't prove sola scriptura to you. Apparently you need the Catholic Church. You need for them to tell you what is written in the Bible and what it means. This is exactly what your Church wants. Your dependence. There's nothing in the Bible to suggest we are to depend on any man made institution. Jesus, our Example, beat back the devil and his temptations with a "It is written". We are to do the same. He didn't say "My Church believes" or "My priest says" or "Our traditions say" but an "It is written". It was good enough for Him therefore it should be good enough for us.

[Brian Kopp DPM]

Jesus never wrote anything, but He did build a Church. He gave it the keys to lose and bind on earth and in Heaven, and the authority to forgive sins, and promised it the Holy Spirit to lead it to all truth, and that the gates of hell would not prevail against it. Yes, scripture is the heart of the Church. But rip the heart out of the body in which Christ intended it to be nurtured and taught, and that heart will not accomplish what the Lord intended of it, as the 30,000 bickering and opposing sects prove.

[BipolarBob]

You said "Jesus never wrote anything".

John 8:6 "But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with His finger". He was literate(unlike Mohammed) and did write.
And we are worlds apart on what was meant when Jesus spoke to Peter. But your Church will interpret it to mean they have the POWER and AUTHORITY to do whatever.

[Brian Kopp DPM]

D’oh! What was I thinking?!?

Could you give me the scripture chapter and verse where it records what Jesus wrote in the ground? I can’t recall it off the top of my head and I’m having a little difficulty finding it with an Internet search.

Thanks.

[ex-snook]

Yep I believe that too. Jesus had two natures. One divine, one human.

[BipolarBob]

You wrote "Could you give me the scripture chapter and verse where it records what Jesus wrote in the ground? "

What was wrote is not recorded. That was not the issue. The issue was whether He wrote anything. Go back and see what you wrote.

You wrote "D’oh! What was I thinking?!?".

I can't help you there.
