When a woman adopt children, they call her mother, and she is thier mother. You didn't answer my first question. Do you believe that Jesus, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, came in the flesh?
Yes.

Jesus was not adopted. Jesus is descended from David, the son of Mary.

The problem with that idea is that it makes Jesus not a descendant of David.

The other problem is your interpretation of "without spot" as pertaining to Jesus. Heb 9:14 says Jesus offered Himself "without spot" to God yet we see in Heb 2:17 Jesus was like us "in every way". Therefore, Jesus could share our fallen nature and still be considered spotless before God.
Jesus came through the "seed of the woman". Women do not carry "seed", men do. Mary was a virgin - the "seed of the woman" was impregnated via the Holy Spirit - not a MAN. Therefore, Jesus was pure, spotless, without blemish, the Lamb of God. This is what Hebrews 2:17 - "as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same" . . . . the same what? flesh and blood. He took part of flesh and blood so "that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death".

He was made like unto his brethren in that he was tempted just as we are tempted. Adam had no sin nature UNTIL HE SINNED, he was tempted and he failed . . . Jesus had no sin nature and although he "suffered being tempted" . . . . For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. . . he was without sin - he did not fall into temptation because he had perfect faith in his Father and by his free will choices to trust God, lived a sinless life, always doing the will of the Father.


When God asked the Israelites to pick out a "lamb without blemish", he meant one that was sound, wholesome, unimpaired, innocent, having integrity; whole, sound, healthful; complete . . . Jesus had to be "unimpaired, innocent" - one is not "unimpaired or innocent" when one has a "fallen nature". What do you think would have happened if a household of Israelites chose a lamb that was not "whole, unimpaired, sound, or healthful" and put that blood upon their doorpost? They would not have been "passed over" but destroyed. . . . So if Jesus had a "fallen sinful nature", we do not have a Savior, we are not redeemed . . .

Answer the question. Do you believe that Jesus Christ the Creator of the heavens and the earth, came in the flesh?

A fallen sin nature does not make us sinners. We are born innocent with a sin nature and are not sinners until we actually commit a sin Rom 7:9-11. That is why Heb 2:17 can mean Jesus had a sin nature and was spotless because He never sinned.

I did answer. I am done responding to you too.



You never answered the question and that is because you are led by another spirit, and you are here trying to deceive the believers in Jesus Christ.

I answered your question with a "yes" so anybody can go back read and see it and that you are being argumentative and combative. I am done with you.

That is true, but your trying to get people to say that he is Mary's biological son, which would make him an ordinary man. That's blasphemy.
so what exactly does the Hebrew passage mean when it says Jesus was made like us in every way?
and Mary wasnt His mom??? ok so who was His mom?
the bible commits blasphemy every time it says Jesus is a man?

There is something wrong in your thinking. Even the babies in Christ understand the virgin birth, you are denying it. The Catholics worship Mary, because they think she has some deity. She is just an ordinary woman. So when you deny the virgin birth. That deny Jesus as being God. And it's the antichrist that denies that Jesus ( the word) was made flesh. And Mary was no there in the beginning with the Word during creation.

A fallen sin nature does not make us sinners. We are born innocent with a sin nature and are not sinners until we actually commit a sin Rom 7:9-11. That is why Heb 2:17 can mean Jesus had a sin nature and was spotless because He never sinned.
So we are not sinners until we commit sin? (which I don't read in Rom. 7:9-11) When we were born (physically), we each inherited the sin nature of our “father” Adam, and thus were born dead in sin (Eph. 2:1, 5). Because of this “death” nature in us, our physical lives are doomed to end in death. The wages of sin is death - death and sin entered when Adam disobeyed God and ate of the tree of good and evil - For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners (Romans 5:19) . . . by one man's offence many are made dead (Romans 5:15) - so death and sin passed on to every man born of man . . . Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: (Romans 5:12) . . . . Again - Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit not MAN.
Jesus having a fallen sin nature would make him unclean.

Why do you think we have to be born again?

You didn't understand what I was saying. Mary was his earthly mom. It was a virgin birth. The Holy Spirit placed Jesus into Mary's womb. Jesus is God made flesh.

The issue is his flesh was of a man but he was God incarnate and thus was able to overcome the temptations of the flesh.
He disrobed himself of the Glory he had with the father and took the form of SINFUL flesh.....

People don't think about what they believe and say. The -ful suffix means full of, so sinful means full of sin. Does anyone really think Jesus' flesh was full of sin?

Even though we are born with a sin nature we are spiritually alive until we commit our first sin at the age of accountability. That is what Rom 7:9-11 is saying.

I see that you just like to hear yourself talk!!! You do not respond to anything anyone quotes to you but like to keep reiterating what you believe something is saying which is NOT carrying on a discussion nor conversation of any kind.

We are NOT spiritually alive until we believe in Jesus Christ, confess him as Lord and believe God raised him from the dead. 1 Cor. 15:22 - For in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

What about the child at 3 years old who "takes" a cookie from the cookie jar knowing that he is not supposed to? What about the 2 year old who pitches a tantrum in the store when they have repeatedly been told not to? Isn't that disobedience to parents? Children obey your parents . . . . just saying.

You really don't know what you're talking about. No man is born spiritually alive. That is every man's inheritance from Adam. All men sin because they are born spiritually dead, i.e., separated from GOD. Adam was created in GOD's image with a spirit that was one with GOD. Adam's offspring are born in his image with a spirit separated from GOD beause of his sin.

That is bizarre of you to say seeing YOU SAID you can't see how Ro 7:9-11 says what I posted and then I immediately responded to you explaining further about Ro 7:9-11.

THAT IS DEFINITELY NOT FROM SCRIPTURE. CHRIST TOOK THE FORM OF MAN -- HUMANITY. SINLESS HUMANITY.
I suggest you start studying....my quote is biblical....here..I will quote the verses then you can apologize openly for not only lying, but casting doubt on the truth....pay attention and LEARN SOME TRUTH....God gave you two ears and one MOUTH for a reason....SPEND TWICE as much time LISTENING

dcontroversal said:
He disrobed himself of the Glory he had with the Father and took the form of SINFUL flesh.....


Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men.

For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh

I am really sick of people mouthing like Nehemiah did against my BIBLICAL POST....YOU OWE ME AN APOLOGY PAL!!!!!

My point is you don't respond to the points I make.

You had already mentioned Romans 7:9-11 and I said that it doesn't say what you say it says - Even though we are born with a sin nature we are spiritually alive until we commit our first sin at the age of accountability - nor does it say - Even though we are born with a sin nature we are spiritually alive until we commit our first sin at the age of accountability.
