Hi Kerwin:You say:Quote You are misunderstanding me.  I am not stating that all man are held guilty of the original sin but rather that like King David’s son we suffer the effects of our father’s sins.   Adam and Eve sinned and so the spirit of mankind was corrupted.  That corruption is the curse we each have inherited from Adam and Eve.  To re…[Read more]

Hi Kerwin:I said:Quote And yes, the body of Christ is God's own flesh and blood. He does not Himself have flesh and blood, but He has begotten as human Son.
