THE SINS OF THE FATHER According to Scripture, GOD said that the sins of the Father are PASSED on to the SON. Does that have anything to do with why the Jews only recognize the Jewish bloodline as only being passed on through the Mother? Is that their way of getting rid of the "skeletons" in the family closet? How come the daughters get to start life with a CLEAN SLATE, while the boys on the other hand begin with GOD already mad at them? Of course I'm being a bit facetious about this, because I am in NO WAY questioning GOD'S reasons for this, I'm genuinely curious. Now I know that NO BLOOD from the Mother is passed to a fetus, it is from the Father's DNA. Is that the reason? Tainted "Dad" blood? It's also stated in Scripture that the "life is in the blood" and that blood can "cry out". Now from a "Scientific" standpoint, could the Blood contain a retrievable record of it's History through DNA ? Decoded and "read' at the GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGEMENT? Could Blood be like a "Tape Recoding"? ( I'm sure that is a gross over-simplification of GOD'S way of doing things but I'm attempting to keep this light/humorous). The BLOOD of JESUS'S father was, guess who's? Yep ! How PURE and SINLESS is that? SO PURE it was/is PURE and SINLESS enough to BEAR ALL of mankind's Sin, past, present and future! Boy, Girl, Man and Woman ! WOW ! That's PURE ! And there certainly is LIFE in JESUS'S BLOOD ! And it's ETERNAL LIFE ! Who in their right mind would pass that up? We find again another example of GOD'S consistency and long suffering. Shedding the PUREST BLOOD in the Universe for unworthy creatures. To reject that offer is to "die" in your sin, the sin you were born with. YOU can't change that fact no matter WHAT YOU DO, no more than a Tiger can change his stripes. YES, it's HIS PURE and SINLESS BLOOD that HE OFFERS us so that we can be looked upon by HIS FATHER as one of HIS VERY OWN so we can be qualified to spend Eternity with HIM and HIS "PURE" SON. LOVED and CHERISHED by JESUS'S FATHER as adopted brothers and sisters of JESUS HIMSELF! So what if we have to wait a bit longer......and Remember, HE is WAITING TOO. In fact ALL of CREATION is ANXIOUS for HIS RETURN....and WAITING.........but WE are waiting TOGETHER. I take comfort in that togetherness. MARANATHA ! TH
