In saying that we spiritually carry the serpents seed, I'm saying that ever since the garden of eden, we became fallen beings, capable of [QUOTE] " pedophilia, slavery, ritual sacrifice, cannibalism, etc", redeemable only by God's great mercy. It's by that great mercy that we're freed of it, if not temporally, then (most importantly) eternally. And though NGL that's some near reprobate territory, he can not just save us from those things internally, but externally.
OK. I see. Do you suppose that some of the really evil people do not have a Spirit? I am trying to figure this out. I wonder if they are really of the serpent seed and they do not have a Spirit, which is why they act the way they do.
