I stated either he was joking or he did not understand DF...even he acknowledges what he said was not meant to represent DF but to draw them out to explain their views. Keep up Dan. I didn't draw a conclusion as to someone elses belief DF in this case or Stranges views.

No matter DA. I found no reason to respond.
Actually though, I have debated the DF doctrine for many years. I know it very well.

Epleys view that God created sperm is NOT a Divine Flesh doctrine though. That was what we were talking about. Divine Flesh. Believing God miraculously created a male sperm or chromosome to genetically mix with Mary's is NOT Divine Flesh.
Divine Flesh denies there was any mixing at all or combination...that Mary's DNA was involved...
That's how the DF avocates have presented thier view to me for the last 7 or 8 years. If they have changed that view since then perhaps one of them can reassert their view here

I'm sure you do know it well Elder ... had you encountered the "divine" sperm/blood doctrine before as articulated by Elder Epley...? [ and apparently defended by Praxeas]

Dan please stop lying. I never EVER said God created sperm OR blood nor did I defend it. I am opposed to the divine FLESH doctrine, which this thread was about before you hijacked it

No.
It was from Abraham. Just like the bible says. It was his seed. The seed of the woman is the seed of Abraham which is the promised seed....Christ.

I'm sure that's how you've perceived their arguments to be Praxeas ... just as some assert that preterists don't believe in the resurrection of the dead ... Trinnies believe in 3 Gods ... PCIers believe baptism is "optional" ....
All hogwash if you ask me....

I still don't understand....usually it takes chromosomes from a man and a woman to produce a human being...women do not carry both to be able to do this themselves. Humans are not asexual

That's right.
However, it appears that some of the ideas being espoused borders on being half and half.

not at all Dan. They have not beaten around the bush. They have said verbatim that Jesus had NO humanity from Mary. That His humanity was completely 100% from heaven.
