First of all I want to thank you for the use of the Open Bible, that was my very first study on my beginning steps in this walk with my Lord and Savior Jesus Chirst to understanding my position in this relationship of who is Lord and Savior, how one that has been saved by his Lord needs to view that relationship. This verse is the proper view of the Lord and His salvation for man, Genesis 49-18“I wait for your salvation, O Lord.”
I love fact that the Lord that created to heavens and the earth has seen fit to let us know in the book of Genesis that man should wait for the salvation of the Lord.
Listen to how this prayer starts out by the saved person exulting the Lord for the salvation that He provided them, it caused them to look to Him for His salvation, to rely on Him for every action of salvation.
I Samuel 2:1“My heart exults in the Lord;my horn is exalted in the Lord. My mouth derides my enemies,because I rejoice in your salvation.”
I Chronicles 16:35-36 “Say also: “Save us, O God of our salvation,and gather and deliver us from among the nations, that we may give thanks to your holy nameand glory in your praise.36 Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,from everlasting to everlasting!”
There is the general call (Matthew 22:14) and the effectual call (Romans 8:30).
Romans 8:29 - For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.

With all due respect posthuman, while I totally understand that the fetus and maternal blood do not mix, I am not really discussing the blood DNA of Jesus.
What I am trying to touch upon is what seems like an inconsistency of 1Timothy 2:14 and Romans 5:12
Both sinned, yet Romans makes it clear that sin entered the world through one man, he was not deceived he committed sin apart from deception and therefore more culpable.
As well he blamed Eve, whereas Eve admitted she had been deceived.

the seed of the woman saves. the seed of the man . . . ?
now we're talking about the continuity of germplasm, and again the necessity of the virgin birth - and how it is that sin spread through man and how Christ was sinless
blood is not transferred from a mother through the womb to a child. when a child is conceived, the germplasm first replicates itself, and only afterwards the flesh is made, and that flesh encapsulates and protects the germplasm.

there is that Adam sinned even being undeceived, and that perhaps by this fact sin was conferred.
there is also that Adam was the federal head of humanity, not Woman, so culpability and responsibility ultimately resides with him.
there is also that when she ate, he had not -- so there is a space of time during which Adam has life and Eve has death, and Adam must decide to join her in death or to remain in life, separating himself from her. but he 'listened to the voice of his wife' rather than God. ((what did she say?)) Adam could have chosen not to eat, and perhaps God would have created another mate ((as He later suggested to Moses . . ?)). since he did not, and instead all existing humanity became sinful, his decision, after the Womans, was the 'sealing of the deal' so to speak. ((yet God did not destroy them both and start over -- why?))
what i'm saying is that there may also be biological reasons, because God forbids Israel from eating blood, saying "the life is in the blood" -- and Christ was virgin born, skipping the transference of whatever it is a human father transfers to a child: yet He developed in an human mother's womb, and was sinless. biologically speaking, whatever He received from Mary, He did not receive sin.

It is Doctrine, and sound judgement.
If you do not see it then you have been swayed into believing a lie.
Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.
6 The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.
7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.
8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:
9 Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.
10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
11 It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:
12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.
14 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.
15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
17 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

But you are right, blood is neither passed on to child by the male or female gamete, but originates within the developing embryo weeks after the procreation of the zygote.
While Parthenogenesis has been reported to occur in some reptiles, birds and fish where a zygote forms without cell fusion, the fact remains that in man, if the gamete of the female developed into a zygote the resulting zygote would have the xx chromosome, thus would be a female.
True that. But God allows us to think we are involved,

Then use the Brain that HE gave you and recognize that HE is Greater than YOU in all ways. Yes, He knew before you do it what you were going to do and acted accordingly. The same goes to Boiling water.....Everybody knows that water starts to boil at 110 degrees Fahrenheit therefore we act accordingly to that fact. So SAD!
