Hmm, I'm not say your idea is wrong that sinfulness is transferred via the seed (meaning I suppose the male X chromosome or its spiritual equivalent), but, I don't know, something there doesn't quite convince me. I'm not sure exactly what. Maybe it's just too "mystical" to be right. A scientific objection: what about parthenogenesis - procreation of a female from a female, no male involved (I think turkeys are capable of it). Or, the same thing, human cloning? In these cases no male seed would appear to be involved, and so you could not say the offspring's sinfulness came from its father. Maybe I understood you too literally? If Jesus had failed, only God knows what the next step would have been. If Jesus had failed, nothing would have been next. God would have died. F.O.D. |
