And how were righteous people under the law who sinned blameless? They offered and placed their faith in the required sacrifices for their sins. The same way we place our faith in the eternal sacrifice when we sin
Shouldn't their faith have been placed in the law giver instead of the law. " Even as Abraham BELIEVED GOD, and it ( his belief ) was accounted to him ( Abraham ) for RIGHTEOUSNESS." Galatians 3:6
 
Actually I'm reconsidering considering Genesis 3:15...seed of the woman. I don't believe, however, that sin is only passed through the man per Psalm 51:5. So I guess the miracle in the virgin birth is that the Holy Spirit overshadowed Mary so that the sin nature does not become part of Jesus' human nature.
the conception of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is one of the things we we know only "through faith" ... which (to me) is not the same as understanding through intellectual understanding ...

The sin nature is passed from the father, not the mother. This is why Jesus was uniquely the "seed of a woman." Having no earthly father, He inherited no sin nature. It is also a biological miracle that He was male, since we know today that the Y chromosome is passed directly from father to son. Every other man on earth shares Adam’s Y chromosome, but Jesus was the only one to ever bypass that lineage.
Even though Jesus wasn't born with a sin nature, could He have sinned? Asked of anyone.

I was not born with a sin nature.

No, the Lord did not put sin in to me when He formed me in my momma's womb

What happened was I was born in to a world full of sin and darkness and I eventually starting sinning but I was not a born sinner.

If I had been a born sinner then I'd be like the reform theology guys believing I can never stop sinning and therefore I would be living in sin and I would be going around proudly proclaiming to everyone that "I'm a sinner" with great joy and enthusiasm for sin

No, He decided He was not going to sin and would always be faithful to the Father.

So because of this He could not sin.

We should all have the same attitude and cease from sin in our lives and be followers of God as dear children

You obviously don’t know the difference between sin and sin nature. You also don’t know the difference between formed and created. What you describe is the heresy of pelagianism. But hey believe what you want troll. Go argue your 5th century heresy with the Bible.

Viewing what was implanted in Mary as a zygote rather than a sperm does not explain the miracle.
You realy dont know if something was implantet. Do you think for God who created Adam and Eve, without that they have a birth it is impossible anything? Only because we dont understand it?

If Mary was sinless then she did not need a saviour
Jesus and forgiveness was not needed if she never sinned.

Only Jesus was sinless.

All have sinned and fallen short.
The bible does not support the theory that Mary was sinless.

It is a Catholic doctrine. The Catholic church teaches this and they claim to be higher then the bible.

Yes, because sin affects a person's chemistry, so the HS gave the zygote of Jesus clean genes.
Surely "overshadowed" does not mean "had sex with"!

I didn't say they placed their faith in the law. They did what God told them to do, so they were trusting in him to forgive them
