No, Judy. It is called trampling underfoot the Lord
who redeemed you.

The devil's seed is a spiritual seed and so
is the seed of the woman which is born by way of the
Holy Spirit. Why is there such a big
brouhaha over this? Oh I forgot "Orthodoxy"

Luke writes
that Jesus was born of the fruit of David's genitals (Act 2.30):
Not exactly
Bill "David being a prophet and knowing that God had sworn with an
oath to him,
that of the
fruit of his loins, according to the
flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne."
Right, so in
Matt we have a genealogy that shows Joseph is in David's lineage but
he is
hardly the
biological father of Jesus is he? Even though Jesus is born in
his lineage.
cd: As was Mary Judy-which is the seed of women whom
Christ is from Judy-Fulfilling Gen.3:15. Funny I don't read much of
Clark (Whom was overseer of J.Wesley church after Wesley's death) but
when I want to offer support He states the same as you and I
Judy.
Gen 3:15 And I will put
enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed;
it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Gen 3:15 -
I will put enmity between thee and the woman - This has been
generally supposed to apply to a certain enmity subsisting between men
and serpents; but this is rather a fancy than a reality. It is yet to
be discovered that the serpentine race have any peculiar enmity
against mankind, nor is there any proof that men hate serpents more
than they do other noxious animals. Men have much more enmity to the
common rat and magpie than they have to all the serpents in the land,
because the former destroy the grain, etc., and serpents in general,
far from seeking to do men mischief, flee his approach, and generally
avoid his dwelling. If, however, we take the word nachash to mean
any of the simia or ape species, we find a more consistent meaning, as
there is scarcely an animal in the universe so detested by most women
as these are; and indeed men look on them as continual caricatures of
themselves. But we are not to look for merely literal meanings here:
it is evident that Satan, who actuated this creature, is alone
intended in this part of the prophetic declaration. God in his endless
mercy has put enmity between men and him; so that, though all mankind
love his service, yet all invariably hate himself. Were it otherwise,
who could be saved? A great point gained towards the conversion of a
sinner is to convince him that it is Satan he has been serving, that
it is to him he has been giving up his soul, body, goods, etc.; he
starts with horror when this conviction fastens on his mind, and
shudders at the thought of being in league with the old murderer. But
there is a deeper meaning in the text than even this, especially in
these words, it shall bruise thy head, or rather, ??? hu, He; who? the seed of the woman; the person is to come by the
woman, and by her alone, without the concurrence of man. Therefore the
address is not to Adam and Eve, but to Eve alone; and it was in
consequence of this purpose of God that Jesus Christ was born of a
virgin; this, and this alone, is what is implied in the promise of the
seed of the woman bruising the head of the serpent. Jesus Christ died
to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself, and to destroy him who
had the power of death, that is, the devil. Thus he bruises his head -
destroys his power and lordship over mankind, turning them from the
power of Satan unto God; Act_26:18. And Satan bruises his heel -
God so ordered it, that the salvation of man could only be brought
about by the death of Christ; and even the spiritual seed of our
blessed Lord have the heel often bruised, as they suffer persecution,
temptation, etc., which may be all that is intended by this part of
the
prophecy.
