   Take note of your line above and compare it to your line below.

   Do Spirits have genes?   
   Jesus is the son of David, King David. You should have known that. He was   
   born in the family tree.

   “It was the precious blood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God.”   
   (1Pe 1:19)   
      
   You based your thought on a poorly translated document and came up with a   
   false understanding.

   Why are you twisting things and trying to deceive others? It did not say or   
   infer that. Try reading it again.   
      
   >   
   > Job 14:4, "Who can bring what is pure from the impure? No one!" (NIV)   
      
   A Born Again Believer, which was NOT possible in the days of Job, is made the   
   righteousness of GOD the FATHER. Made that way in the spirit of Man by the   
   Pure Spirit of God.   
      
   >   
   > 1 Jo 1:8, "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and   
   > the truth is not in us." (KJV)   
      
   Again you read that without understanding. And are attempting to misapply it.   
      
   “But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one   
   with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all   
   sin.” (1Jn 1:7)
