#7407

Hi Cheryl,
Yesterday I stumbled upon this discussion as I was surfing through http://www.christianinteldaily.com. This is very enlightening. I was intrigued by the fact that “childbearing” is a noun and not a verb! Research verifies this truth! I thought your interpretation of it was then helpful. Today I was preparing a sermon on Christmas and came across this:

“For as Eve was seduced by the word of an angel to flee from God, having rebelled against his Word, so Mary by the word of an angel received the glad tidings that she would bear God by obeying his Word.”
-Irenaeus-

This seems to give credit to your understanding of what Paul is doing here. Eve was deceived but through the birth of a Child all are saved. Thanks for helping us come to terms with what is being said in these passages!
