AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 John 3:9 No one who is born of God [deliberately, knowingly, and habitually] practices sin, because God's seed [His principle of life, the essence of His righteous character] remains [permanently] in him [who is born again--who is reborn from above--spiritually transformed, renewed, and set apart for His purpose]; and he [who is born again] cannot habitually [live a life characterized by] sin, because he is born of God and longs to please Him. |
Subject: One born of God cannot sin? |
Bible Note: Greetings MJH, It was explained to me, by someone a lot smarter then I am that Adam passed on the old sin nature through procreation of the body. The 23 chromosomes of the males contribution, at conception, infects the cells structure, thus passing on the OSN, or old sin nature. We all contain 46 chromosomes but only 23 are used from each of the parents. The female, through meioses and polar body throws of her 23 contaminated chromosomes leaving 23 without the OSN. The male inseminates the female with his 23 chromosomes containing the OSN and the fetus starts with an OSN. Psalm 51:5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. This would also prove out how Jesus was born “without” an old sin nature because Mary was a virgin and conception was by the Holy Spirit. Man procreates and biological life starts in the womb; at the instance of physical life, when the child becomes independent of the mother, the instant it breaths on its own, God imparts soul life or, neshamah, in the Hebrew, and the fetus becomes a baby with a living soul. I know I’ll catch a lot of flack for this and all I can tell you is that‘s what I was taught years ago by my pastor R. B. Thieme Jr. He and a Dr. Jamieson came up with it and it all works out with Scripture and I believe it. If anyone asks me to prove it, I can’t, just take it or leave it.
