Christ is also the new Adam, put to death so that from His pierced side the (true)church is brought into existence. Thus Paul likens the church to Eve (2 Cor. 11:2, 3), who was taken from Adam's side. his church he calls his wife.
we can say Jesus recapitulates Creation and Adam. He becomes all Adam was meant to be. As the antitypical Adam, He transcends Adam the first. He passes over the ground of Adam. He not only does what Adam should have done as the covenantal partner. He undoes the results of Adam's breaking the covenant. Because of Adam's sin the earth was cursed to bring forth thorns, and mankind was cursed to death (Gen. 3:18, 19). But the new Head of the race bears the crown of thorns and tastes death for every man. Adam the first left us a legacy of condemnation and death. Adam the second leaves us a legacy of justification and life eternal (Rom. 5:17-19).
Would you consider the pattern to be some kind form to merge with like spiritual impression or something in that language?
Did the death and ressurection of Christ create a change in human DNA through the blood?
Or by God spilling his own blood did that mean something different than unclean blood being spilled? Why spill any blood anyway? God gave us life, why does he want fresh blood spilled to prove we love him? Or did Jesus death take away the need for constantly spilling more blood to him?
this unique love that god has for us can best be expressed by his blood.
his blood is the proof of His 1OO % commitment toward us.
He could go no further than to give his life in exchange for ours.
"Greater love hath no man than this,
that a man lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13
The Blood of Christ is so very powerful that it protects us from the Angel of Death: "And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are:
and when I see the blood I will pass over you, and the Plague shall not be upon you to destroy you." Exodus 12:13

Well I have been thinking for the last few days that I should apologize to Sun Matrix for challeging him on this thread. Truth is I am afraid that I may have offended God by implying that the Bible may not be legitimate. Although I may not understand all the details I do feel somewhat like the statement......."You don't find many athiest in foxholes" I never claimed to be athiest, just that I can't for the life of me understand the whole Jesus in your Heart thing. And all the enigma involved. For instance this thread is full of the lie, but the Truth still lies behind the veil of " you just have to think deeper" Well it is just confusing, this search for truth and I am sorry Sun, cause if I am wrong I don't want God to get mad at me. Immature thinking, but honest.
Thanks for all of the input you have all added.

Have you had any experiences with Wicca?
I wish Jesus was the truth
it could make people happy if "it" is all it's cracked up to be
I just can't figure out what "it" is. But when we talk about it there are no nuts and bolts.
I've read the bible, but where is the key to make the "eyes see" and the 'ears hear" I want that kind of understanding.

Mark 4:26 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; 27 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.

What's wrong with Wicca? I've encountered many people who have had a problem with Wicca but didn't know jack about it. I've also asked many of them if they have even read a book about Wicca, and of course the answer is ,"No." Answer this for me, Is there a feminine aspect of God or even a feminine divine? Growing up all I've ever been told was that either God was a man or god is neither sex, but there was never any clarification. Why I'm asking is because I've practiced Wicca for seven years, and I don't feel that it's dark/evil. They believe in a God and Goddess; however, emphasis is placed on the Goddess. I could probably assume that you're gonna say that it is not of God because they don't worship Jesus. Am I wrong?
There is no Mother Earth, only Father God. Mother Earth and feminists, goddess, new age etc. is just part of the lie.

Blah, blah, blah. Yeah, I kinda figured you'd say something like that. I was actually hoping that you would have answered the question that I kinda buried in the middle. I will ask it again for your convinience. Since you seem to have "found the thruth" is there a feminine aspect to God (which you probably don't think so since you refer to God as father God) or is there a feminine/female deity?
What is tne name of the female goddess that you worship?

I don't worship a female goddess. The reason I ask is because I have a problem with the concept that God is a man. God created Adam, fine, but he also created Eve. If God is a man where did he get the idea of a feminine/female? What/who did he use as a reference of feminimity when he created Eve? Himself? Now, of course God is all knowing. So please, take the time to ponder on my questions and answer them. I've asked you some pretty easy questions, which you should be able to answer. Unless it is you that is blinded by the matrix. Also I would appreciate it if you would answer with more than a one-liner.

well i can tell you that god is not a man.
What's the purpose of me answering, you have already rejected the truth.

What's the truth? If you had presented the truth somewhere in this post, you lost me. Other people have asked you the same question, and you've been pretty vague.
