No, it's not. It says what it means. Bible culture was patriarchal.

It's not a matter of sin nature, but of inheritance. In the bible inheritance passes through the father.

You're using a gender-neutralized bible. The word is father. H1 אָב 'ab (awb) n-m. 1. father

Why would I feel a need to list those others when neither of them appear in the two verses that were under consideration?

Do you mean what evidence? For one, in the bible inheritance, which includes spiritual legacy, passed through the father, not the mother. For two, subsequent generations were visited with the sins of their fathers, not their mothers. Thou shalt not make to thyself an idol, nor likeness of...

Christ's DNA was from Adam via Mary, but his spiritual legacy came from GOD. So he was like man in every way except that his spiritual nature was unmarred by the consequence of Adam's sin. Which proves that sinful nature is not something intrinsic to the flesh. It is something inherited from...

Hair on the palms is unhealthy?

FWIW, there can only be one sower - man. Faith comes by hearing the word of GOD, whether spoken, or written, by men.

But you trust your pastor, right?

It looks like what they're saying is "once regenerated, always regenerated", and those who stop believing and fall away from the faith, or don't produce fruits of the kingdom, were never really regenerated in the first place. This is done IMO to protect the belief that salvation is by spiritual...

The answer is in verse 16. Who do we obey? The flesh or the holy spirit? We are slaves of whoever we obey.

The word translated everlasting means concealed. The Levitical priesthood was said to be everlasting, but we know it was done away with and is no more, and was subsumed and superceded by the priesthood of Christ. It's ending was beyond the vanishing point (horizon line), meaning it couldn't be...

Please be aware that Jesus used the whip on the animals, not on people. Whipping people would be so contrary to his nature.

If you mean "to continue forever", no. Circumcision is nothing in the eyes of GOD, whereas before it was the sign/seal of covenant relationship with him.

Stated another way: a new covenant sealed by circumcsion of the heart, not circumcision of the flesh.

IMO that verse is better translated (literal translation, actually): "Do we then render law useless through the faith? May it not be, but we make law stand." Which is explained nicely in: I have become like a Jew to the Jews, in order that I may gain the Jews. To those under the law I became...

Paul makes clear in Galatians 3:16 that your seed refers to Christ. Genesis 15 proves that GOD meant Christ when he made this promise because when Abraham asked for surety that he would inherit the land, GOD made a blood covenant with him promising to give the land to his seed (he didn't promise...

His interpretation of 1 John 1:8 was another.

Oh yeah... no sin nature was another.
