I am a little confused about what the issue is with this blood thing. God came to Earth as a man, His blood was spilled while He was being crucified, and the Bible talks about Him purchasing the Church with His blood. Where is the controversy? Am I missing something?

The illogic goes something like this ...

Life is in the blood.
Man sinned hence his blood is dirty with sin.
Mary conceives a baby from a God created perfect human blood cell.
This blood cell is perfect and sinless.
Jesus hence is perfect and sinless.
We are redeemed when he sheds this blood.]


I think the Branahmites would take it further ... stating that human blood deriving from Eve's lineage has the Devil's DNA .

I seriously doubt anyone is ever going to be able to explain exactly how it is that God overshadowed Mary and impregnated her. Trying to explain this would be like trying to explain how God did and does any of the things He did and does. How did He speak the world into existence? How did He create man out of dust? These are all questions we're not going to know the answers to and are going to fail miserably at explaining.

You are right we accept the virgin birth thru faith ... it was supernatural.

I try not to explain it ... my faith can stretch to realize that I don't need to have to explain everything ...

It means I dont have create doctrines to fit my paradigm ... especially if have no direct connection to the Word or even to logic.

You're correct to a considerable point there. The incarnation - however it was achieved - is a remarkable undertaking theologically as well as from a naturalistic standpoint. By its very nature it is difficult to grasp in its entirety.

However, we are told certain things about the incarnation.

1. That the Child would be physically descended from Abraham, David and others of that lineage. This necessitates that whatever was human about him had to be genetically linked to other human beings - and ultimately linked to us all. (Luke 1:69 and Genesis 22:18 with Galatians 3:16).

2. That God hath not flesh and bones (Luke 24:39 and John 4:24 and 1 Timothy 1:17).

3. Hebrews 2:14 says that whatever it is that we are that makes us human - He partook of the same.

Making His sacrifice and shed blood efficacious.

Bro. E and DV propose that the blood that Jesus shed was not really blood that was descended from David, Abraham and etc. but was instead something that God kept in a jar from the time before Adam's sin and then injected into the fetus that would develop in Mary's womb thus circumventing any "stain" that the wimmin' folk impart upon our manly cleanliness.

This would also mean ... like divine fleshers that it would be impossible for Jesus to sin ... empowered by this super perfect blood?

You're all wasting your time trying to explain this. Supernatural things can not be explained using natural logic.
