Mary was chosen. Could she have also not be cleaned of this nature by the same forces that put Jesus in her womb to begin with?

This was a supernatural event any way you look at it. Why do we compartmentalize these other areas as if God can't clean it himself before he plants?

Response: I agree, we spend so much time "figuring out" things that aren't really expressed in scripture only to spend countless hours agruing about things that we only have a bit of info on.

A child gets its blood from its father. Therefore Jesus' blood was pure having come from God and not man (Mary). This is always the case and is why Jesus was God and man at the same time. He inherited his father's nature and not his mother's.

Would you care to elaborate on this assertion? :?:

Not exactly, it would equate with sperm or egg, in that it was used to describe the "Seed" of the woman in the Garden of Eden, which would seem to suggest that yes Mary was the biological mother, but again, this is such an unique situation, I don't know if it's a good idea just to lump it in with others with a label.

I agree on this...I was in a hurry. Either way...seed can equate to genetic material or DNA.

Can you elaborate on this?

Colossians 2: 8-10

8Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

9For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

10And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:

The fullness of the Godhead dwelled in Jesus Christ bodily.

Matthew 1:23

23Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

Jesus was Emmanuel...God with us.

God is incapable of sin...his nature is perfectly Holy and therefore, since the fullness of the Godhead was in Jesus Christ bodily and He was God with us...He was incapable of sin.

However, he was born of a woman and of the seed and lineage of David...so he was fully Human as well.

The God nature...the Holiness...was the perfect nature that was able to resist sin.

This might be to simple of an explanation...but I'm a very simple-minded pastor! :lol:

I'm not a theological scholar or debater...I'm fully satisfied to accept by faith what I don't understand and simply preach the scriptures as they are stated. Line upon line, precept upon precept explains scripture to me better than anything else.

yet He was capable of lust and enticement else He could not have been tempted

James 1:14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

but as God He could not be tempted.....

James 1:13 ¶ Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:

Jude 2
