Because it is not passed on by you, it is passed on through you.

This might not seem like a big problem, but it is in fact the problem: the problem of agency.

If I say I am imparting my heritance on to my children, I am saying "I am their child (saith the Devil)".
If I say my children are receiving my inheritance with God through God, I am saying "I am their father (saith the Lord)".

One divorces the family, the other does not.
No man divorces his family, before it is conceived. (selah)

Ah, so you are simply making a semantic argument. An interesting tactic when you can't actually engage what I have said.

Even if we wish to switch to the word "Through" my questions still stand.

First, does believing in evolution automatically doom you to hell with no hope of salvation as your first post seems to indicate.

Second, would you care to actually respond to my comments about evolution, i.e. that it is a.) not a belief that we become stronger by our own will and therefore cannot be 'prideful' and b.) that even if it was by our own strength, it would still not be 'prideful' because it would be an attempt to strengthen our offspring and provide for them by passing "through" our stronger dna to them, since the bible tells us to provide for our children?

ah, you are making a semantic argument of a semantic argument

I think that is a fallacy in its own right

for this reason you make the mistake of thinking I mean passing through from me to my child

when in fact I mean from God through me to my child

the significance being that it is a spiritual act, not a carnal one

Is it not both? Our God does not reject incarnation.

we may instigate incarnation, but we do not complete it

it only survives if it is completed

only God can complete it

therefore I said "it is through us, but not by us"
