I could care less about the apostate Stephen.
Where's your Temple? Where's your sin?
Jews stopped sinning 2000 years ago? the atonement of the Cross?
What happened to all those Jews for 2000 years who rejected God's Son?
I am not the apostate. But, what does that matter? You would still scream "CRUCIFY!"
Wouldn't you?
That was that easy for many Jews when apostate Israel came in contact with the Messiah.
Genesis 3:15? Have you read it carefully?
It tells us that the prophesied Messiah who would crush Satan's head. That he will come in "human form."
And I will put enmity
Between you and the woman,
And between your seed and her Seed;
He shall bruise your head,
And you shall bruise His heel.”
Jewish custom never referred to an offspring as "a seed of a woman." In genealogies it was always spoken of as the seed of the man.
That was prophesied because the female ovum is not the carrier of the genetic defect of the sin nature of man. The male sperm is the carrier. Adam was the one who brought sin into the world through procreation.
By Mary being impregnated by God providing the needed perfect DNA to fertilize an ovum? In that manner Jesus would be given a body without defect. Just like a sacrificial lamb was required to be without physical defect. Which symbolized a sinless nature.
Mary did not produce a sinless body because she was a virgin. Being a virgin was to be as 'a sign' that no fallen man had caused her to become pregnant.
Ironically, God could have chosen some town whore to provide a body for the soul of Jesus. For even her ovum would not have been carrying the sin nature defect.
Its the male sperm that transfers the sin nature.
Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin,
and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned.. Romans 5:12
Though the woman sinned first? And, she was the first one to become fallen?
It was through the man Adam that sin entered the world via his sperm in procreation!
The woman's ovum does not carry the defect of the sin nature!
And I will put enmity
Between you and the woman,
And between your seed and her Seed;
He shall bruise your head,
And you shall bruise His heel.”
When man fell he took on the image of Satan. Man became his "seed" in that manner. Its why we need laws in the world to keep man in line.
grace and peace ..........
