From: "Blaine Borrowman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Blaine: I started this, I think--Judy seems to be having a difficult time accepting that there is a difference between the potential for sin and accomplished sin. Jesus had the potential for sin--otherwise the devil would not have taken him up on the high mtn to tempt him. Jesus did not succomb, either then or ever afterwards--or before, however..
Judy: I don't have a hard time understanding the potential for sin vs accomplished sin Blaine. What I don't accept is Jesus being born with the spiritual inheritance left to the rest of us by the first Adam after his fall. Jesus did not have Adam's genes - He was created in Mary's womb by the Holy Spirit. Is that too hard for God or is it just hard for us to accept? He is not the fruit of any fallen person's body. If God could create the first Adam full grown, why is it so hard to accept that God could create a baby in Mary's womb independent of Mary? Has science become our new god.
