Did the first Adam get anything from any one Except God. God took the "dust of the ground" ( which he created just a few days earlier ) and CREATED the first Adam. That was part of the first creation that fell in Adam. All of Mankind was "in" Adam's Loins when Adam fell into sin. He took all of mankind ( original sin ) under a sentence of Death they sinning "in him" and He being their Corporate Head . All of mankind inherited Death from Adam as the wages of His original sin. ============================================================ Now the Church of Rome has done such a dance concerning "Original Sin" That it is a joke. They "need" a sinless Mary or Christ would "inherit" original Adamic sin from her because they "think" Jesus came from Mary's Egg! So Rome made Mary herself "sinless" and took that whole effort back to even Mary's mother. Wild ! Then in 1948 they had to do something because they could not have a sinless Mary die. Death is the wages of sin. Rome asserted that she had never sinned herself and also not inherited death from Adam so they decreed "Officially" a doctrine one them dreamt up somewhere called "Assumption" just 3 years after World War 2. All this because they failed to understand that Mary " BY GRACE " Hosted the Second Adam. A Body created again by God from nothing. Mary's eggs ( from Adam ) were not used. Her eggs from Adam were used later when the Brothers and Sisters of Christ ( according to the family of the flesh - as was supposed ) were born. Mark 6:3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him. Those are not "sisters and brothers" in the Faith.. They are being noted by those who do not believe that Jesus is anything more than a mere man. They spurned the very idea of His Diety and are pointing out that He must be only an ordinary man because they know His "Mother" ( As it was supposed )and brothers and sisters. Jesus has not MOTHER or FATHER . His body was prepared by God the Father alone. Mary only carried it within her womb and breast fed and raised the Child she did not really "mother" it in the sense of providing the ova. Hebrews 10:5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: God prepared the whole body of Jesus. His body was the first of the New Creation ! The rest of those who go to heaven are all adopted and receive a new body later. John 6:42 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven? Matthew 1:18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. Not found with being fertilized but with Child the Whole Child of the Holy Ghost! God did not merely by Miracle provide Mary with the male components but a NEW MAN the whole Second Adam. Jesus is called the Second Man because He is not of the First Man Adam... 1 Cor 15:47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. Jesus is called the LAST ADAM and the SECOND MAN: 1 Corinthians 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. The Church of Rome has gone nuts because they cannot even see the easy things of the Scriptures and because they seek to Worship the Idol " Queen of Heaven " Mary did not remain a Virgin... She had a large family. If you count Jesus ( by adoption ) we can prove from scripture that she had 5 sons and at least 2 sisters because it is plural but could have been any number of daughters. Joseph and Mary did not spend their entire life Married but without sex ! Matthew 1:25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son : and he called his name JESUS. Joseph did not dare to have sex with Mary "til" the Holy One of Israel was born. Joseph married a virgin but He did "know" her after the Body of Christ was born. Did you know that Jesus natural brothers did not believe in Him even after Jesus had done miracles... John 7:3 His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest. 4 For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world. 5 For neither did his brethren believe in him. Jesus had to put up with "stuff" from His own brothers even as Joseph did.. Hope you get delivered from Rome my friend... read the Bible and pray for God's Spirit. Perhaps God will be gracious even to you as He was to me.
