Wasn't Jesus suppose to be from davids lineage

[Sketcher]

I am quite aware of that, BUT that was not the question that was asked.

But it was something you said.

So??

It seems as if you believe in inherited sin. And, that by some miracle, Jesus was born without inheriting sin. Is this true?

Yes. The old sin nature is imputed by the man (Adam) at physical birth. So by God the Holy Spirit empregnating Mary, there was no OSN passed on to the perfect Christ child.

I find that sin is not hereditary. See Ezekial 18:1-22. Therefore, we do not inherit Adam's sin, but each of us is responsibile for our own actions (2 Corinthians 5:10).

I suspect you are misunderstanding Romans 5. We all suffer the consequences of sin -- the loss of access to the tree of life (i.e. Genesis 3:23-24), but it doesn't mean that we all inherit sin from him. Please consider the contrast between Adam and Christ in Romans 5. If we inherit sin from Adam, then we inherit life from Christ (see verse 18). Do you believe eternal life is hereditary? If so, what the lineage?
