Yes I don’t believe that either, and nor does the Bible suggests such a thing.

But why are you asking these questions like you’re in the first grade?

Jesus was born in the flesh from Mary.

Most humans in the world call this process birth, and the one who gives birth is the mother.

Yes, we acknowledge that God has no parents and He is eternal, but in the flesh He chose a different way.

Through Mary via The Holy Spirit.

Now, I realize that you’re asking these questions because you might be allergic to Catholic vibes, but this is what the Bible says.

Jesus was born through Mary in the flesh via the Holy Spirit.

This is why we call her the mother of God in the flesh.

Well, we should not blame Joseph for not being able to be the surrogate mother instead of the virginal father of Jesus in the flesh--and yes, this RQ was about RC vibes.

The point is that all/both sexes have equally sinned per GN 3:6-8
and all/both sexes can be equally saved per GL 3:28.

True... sin is sin.

But the nature of the sins were not equal.
If Adam never sinned, we would not be fallen from birth.

For sin entered the world through ONE man!

.......
 
ROMANS 5:12

Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin;
and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

Not by the woman! But by one man!

I think your hypothetical is unrealistic or not applicable.

You need to realize that when Paul spoke of Adam, he assumed Eve's "corporate" involvement.
IOW, Adam was viewed as the head, but not by way of denying that Eve was his equal helpmate,
as signified by being created out of his side.

Yes, Paul refers only to Adam, but GN clearly describes them co-sinning. Harmonize that.
 
The mention of A&E prompts this RQ as I read an article on Homo sapiens in a recent issue of National Geographic Magazine:

How does the story of A&E jibe with the existence of humans in Africa about 60,000 years ago per archeologists?

It jibes sufficiently well if humanity is defined as God-consciousness and moral conscience,
and if genetic science indicates that humanity is descended from a single genetic source/couple--
which it sorta does.
 
Which two miracles are implied by the Gospel kerygma, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved"?
(explicit in the elaboration :^)

Question #1: Are there other earths with human life on them?

My answer: I doubt it, although I have seen people say there must be, because there are so many billions of suns in the universe, but I do not understand how one could arrive at an estimate of probability from a known case of only one--US!

Your answer?...

No. Jesus lived and died on this planet “once for all” … for all humankind. Were there “other earths”, He would have to have suffered and died many times.

Let me think about it. NO.

Question #4: Is God free? Can God be evil? Is God the Father able to change His will, is God the Son free to sin, and could God the Holy Spirit become demonic?

Mary in the bible is called the mother of Jesus. Although Jesus is fully divine, Mary is never called "Mother of God" in the bible. Joseph was the legal father of Jesus but not His biological Father:

“Now Jesus Himself began His ministry at about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, the son of Heli,” (Lu 3:23 NKJV)

Yes, He was popularly supposed to be the son of Joseph, but remember what Gabriel said to Mary:

“And the angel answered and said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God.” (Lu 1:35 NKJV)

amen

“But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, And they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: and knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭1:20-25‬ ‭KJV‬‬


There was a purpose he was made of flesh and blood

“but when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭4:4-5‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Yes, and the question on the table is:
"Does God's nature negate/nullify His volition,
or does God freely will/determine/choose His nature to be eternally good?"
 
Answer: God has MFW as the loving Person/Being (Exodus 3:14, 1 John 4:8) and created humanity in His image (Genesis 1:26-27) with moral conscienceness (Genesis 3:7-13).
God is praiseworthy (1 Chronicles 16:25) because He eternally freely chooses (Isaiah 61:1-11) love/righteousness (Psalm 111:3, 145:17).

I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet.
For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not the one deceived;
it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner.

Yes, you cited half of what needs to be harmonized and ignored the other half, which is Gen. 3:6-7.

BTW, today my wife ran across some RBT materials from circa 2003.
One teaching I might have gleaned from him is "One Revocable Thing", which is #40 in a list of "Forty Things God Provides Every Believer at the Moment of Salvation"--the filling of the HS that is revoked when the believer sins and recovered when the believer rebounds or confesses.
