Bible Note: Doc, I think you do well enough articulating your thoughts. I agree that this is probably a topic that cannot be discussed, in depth, as it would warrant. The thread was already lengthy to begin with. I thank you for your insight concerning where to look. It’s a start and one that I’ll follow up on. The look into “seed†and the significance of it will be interesting to explore to compare the use of it in Scripture to the theories you mentioned and how each apply to imputation. My question in regard to this was how imputed sin did not pass to Christ through Mary. I’m sure it didn’t because God’s word informs me so. Or since Christ died in His Humanity and only lives eternally in His divinity, could the imputed sin from Adam have been passed to Christ’s human nature? Did I phrase that right? I confuse myself sometimes. But I’m afraid that attempt separates His humanity from His divinity, which I struggle with. God accounted for this somehow, I’m sure. I just can’t buy into the theory that Mary was preserved and not affected by original sin, as I’ve heard argued, but I know God can have no contact with sin. If that were the case with Mary, it would be easy to understand concerning Christ. But that’s were I have difficulty. Thanks for the insight Doc. I’ll begin my efforts to answering this where you have suggested. Along the way, and when you have time, any further insight offered will be valued. WOS |
