    Hello and blessings from Georgia! Can you give me an example of Ephesians 2:2? I would like to read your responses to my grandchildren. I have given them my own perspective and would like to have other examples.

    Hiya Jessie....If i were you i wd preach to my grand children....That Satan is the God of this present world...And their old nature is in rank with satan....And be not conformed to this world but be ye transformed by the RENEWING OF THEIR MINDS.... And ask God to sow an incorruptible seed in their hearts...That they might be bornagain of an incorruptible seed....Giving them a heavenly nature a new innerman...That New CREATURE which is the H.G....The only Holy thing that can make us obedient is a New CREATURE....The mind of Christ...Had not the lord of sabboah left us a SEED we wd had been made like unto Sodom and Gomarrah....Our only hope is his Seeds the words of HIS mouth....That Book that he wrote with his own blood...The N.C. GB

    children of disobedience is an Hebraism : not disobedient children, but sons of Satan in a special manner, being those in whom he works, and on whom the wrath of God comes.

    So if you are of the Bloodline of Cain, who is the seed of Satan. you are said children.

    Also if you are not of the Tree of Life, but are of the Tree of Good and Evil, you are said children

    Luke,

    All of the bloodline of Cain perished in the flood. And there is nothing in Scripture that says that Satan is Cain's father. In Genesis, Adam is said to have known Eve and she conceived and bore Cain. It does not say that Satan knew Eve and she conceived CAin. This serpent seed doctrine is evil and untrue.
  • Luke:The Serpent Seed - In Reply - 2 years ago
    You couldn't be more wrong GIGI!

    Genesis 3:12 And the man Adam said,"The woman whom Thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat."

    13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, "What is this that thou hast done?" And the woman said, "The serpent

    [Satan] beguiled/wholly seduced me, and I did eat."

    14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, "Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:

    15 And I will put enmity/construct between thee and the woman, and between thy [Satan's] seed and her Seed; Christ shall bruise thy head [vital part], and thou shalt bruise His heel [lower part]."

    16 Unto the woman He said, "I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception [pregnancy]; in sorrow [painful

    toil] thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be subject to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee."

    Corinthians 11:2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

    3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the SERPENT BEGUILED EVE THROUGH HIS SUBTILTY, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

    Who's the serpent? Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

    Matthew 23:29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,

    31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets

    32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.

    33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
  • Luke:Serpent seed cont: - In Reply - 2 years ago
    Serpent Seed cont: The subject of John 8 is of the serpents seed

    John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

    45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

    46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?

    47 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

    1 John 3:12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.
  • Luke - In Reply - 2 years ago
    It show's your ignorance of scripture.

    Genesis 3:13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, "What is this that thou hast done?" And the woman said, "The serpent

    [Satan] beguiled me, and I did eat." beguiled means (wholey seduced) you do know what seduced means, right?

    14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, "Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and

    above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:

    15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy [Satan's] seed and her Seed; Christ shall

    bruise thy head [vital part], and thou shalt bruise His heel [lower part]."

    16 Unto the woman He said, "I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception [pregnancy]; in sorrow [painful

    toil] thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be subject to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee."

    Did you read that? God will put emni

    Satan knew that it was through Eve the woman's bloodline that Christ would eventually be born. This was Satan's first attempt in the flesh age, to destroy God's plan. Satan was trying to keep Eve's seed line from being brought forth, and so he deceived Eve where his own seed would be born

    Corinthians 11:2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

    3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the SERPENT BEGUILED EVE THROUGH HIS SUBTILTY, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

    John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

    45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

    Who was John speaking of, that's right CAIN, because HE was the first Murderer he MURDERED HIS BROTHER

    Luke Gbu but you are in error when you say that JESUS came thru Adams blood line...The lamb of God cd not be defiled by ANY mans bloodine....As all men carried the stain and the spot of Adam....Mary was just a vessel that God used to make the Child...As the scrip. says he was made of a woman made under the law....But Mary's placenta wd NOT allow her blood to mix with the Childs blood... Acts 20:28....Feed the Church of God that he has purchased with his OWN BLOOD... Not mans BLOOD....Even in the natural a fetus is able to make his own blood....But the Women's placenta feeds the fetus with nutrients ETC ....But her blood is neva passed to the fetus... A Womans placenda is a very complex organ....But the lamb of God cd not be defiled with mans blood....Thats y it had to be a virgin birth....Jesus told the Jews you are from beneath but i am from above...You are of this world but i am not of this world... John 8 :23 kjv....And b/f Abraham was i am....He was from everlasting to everlasting as Psalms 90 David says.

    .....Jesus was the living WORD made flesh and blood....It was God that impregnated Mary with his word....Mans seed had absolutetly nothin to do with Marys conception....But Romans 1:3 concerning Jesus that was made of the seed of David according to the flesh....But that flesh was Mary...Not according to any man's seed....It was DAVID that said its the Lords doings and is precious in our eyes....It was the Lords seed not mans seed.

    ......The Lamb of GOD had to be a Perfect Lamb....Could not have any spots or stains....He cd not carry that awful stain and curse of adam thats y it had to a virgin birth....There was none righteous no not one...Thus Mary had to be impregnated by God himself....Via his seed the living word...gbu
  • Luke - In Reply - 2 years ago
    Okay thank you!

    One can read of the genealogy of the bloodline of Adam to Christ "in scripture" that is if one believes scripture, and (not spin it) by misinterpreting something; In Matthew 1 called THE scroll of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham.

    Also, one can read of genealogy, the generations of, and the Sons OF, beginning with Genesis 5.

    Genealogy --- : an account of the descent of a person, family, or group from an ancestor or from older forms-- the study of family ancestral lines

    If you need help, pray!!!

    Luke,

    Accusing someone of being ignorant of scripture sounds a little harsh. If someone is not in agreement with you, does that make them ignorant? I am not going to accuse you of being ignorant, but I do believe you are mistaken about John 8:44-45.

    You ask, "Who was John speaking of, that's right CAIN, because HE was the first Murderer he MURDERED HIS BROTHER."

    First of all, John was not speaking of anyone. Those were Jesus' words, not John's. Secondly, Jesus is speaking of Satan being a murderer from the beginning. If Jesus was referring to Cain, He would have shifted from His description of Satan and mentioned Cain by name.
  • Luke - In Reply - 2 years ago
    Being accused of ignorance is harsh but of evil is not? Boy Ol Boy1

    You don't have room to talk Jessie, I see your ignorance throughout but only correct you for edification purposes when you tried to correct me,,, This is straight up ignorance of scripture, associating me of evil and untruths, whereby I take very seriously.

    I will debate you on who the first Murderer was/is; but you're missing the point of me being accused of the serpent seed's existence being untrue and evil for a few crumbs on standing up for your friends blatant ignorance, when there is SO much written on it.

    The point of the verse is to show the serpents son/bloodline, "Ye are from your father the devil", and the strong desires of your father ye will to do; whereby your friend called it evil and untrue, when there is SO much written on it,,,did you jump in and correct her?No,,,For all I know, this could be You sticking up for yourself...

    May I correct you in saying, It was John prophesying/speaking of Jesus's words if you want to get technical,,, Cain the Son of the Serpent,The Devil, Murdered his brother.

    Again, I will debate you on who the first murderer was.
  • GiGi - In Reply - 2 years ago
    Dear Luke,

    I am not offended that you considered me to be ignorant. For the record, I did not say you were evil and untrue. i said that the serpent seed doctrine is evil and untrue. That is my opinion, but I see that yours is that it is a true doctrine. Since this is so, I think we can end this thread as it seems that it is devolving into a struggle. I did not intend for it to go this way. But, even so, you are free to address me on my statements.
  • Jesse - In Reply - 2 years ago
    Jessie,

    Also, something more appropriate to share with your grandchildren, because what I shared on Verse 2 may sound sort of a harsh thing for them to grasp. What they should know is that every person who belongs to Jesus Christ is no longer energized by the same force, but they are now under the influence and being energized by God's Spirit within!
  • Jesse - In Reply - 2 years ago
    Jessie,

    To get the full understanding of Ephesians 2:2, it needs to be taken with Verses 1 through 10 which gives us the process of salvation. But taking Verse 2 by itself, it says, "Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, and secondly: according to the prince of the power of the air, (which is Satan), the spirit that is now working, or energizing in the children of "the" disobedience: There's a definite article with the word disobedience. It is the specific disobedience, the disobedience to God. So, the prince and power of the air is energizing the children of disobedience, the same way it did us prior to our salvation.
