Re: Totally off topic but ... (virgin birth)
[OOPS, sorry for the off topic post, I hadn't read past Faith's post. But somewhere this should be answered as it is a really incredible claim. lfen]
so he got his genes straight from God rather than from a human father;
Are you claiming that God has a y chromosome? God has human DNA and he gave Mary a set of his chromosomes?
and there is another reason as well, in that the Savior could not BE the Savior if he had ordinary inheritance from a human father, because we all inherit the sin of Adam that way, and Jesus had to be free of that inherited sin from the fathers in order to be the unblemished Lamb of God, without any sin at all, who took on the sins of believers.
Are you claiming that the y chromosome is the carrier in some way, a genetic way? of original sin?
Thus women who don't have y chromosomes are not subject to original sin?
I don't believe this is an orthodox theological statement but then I'm not up on Christian dogma. Still I am rather overwelmed by your claims here.
