Job 14:4 Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.
“The immaculate nature of Jesus however involved ‘the Fathers,’ and their ‘Father of the Fathers’—πατηρ πατερων—in the necessity of transforming the mother of Jesus into an immaculate virgin-goddess—immaculate in her conception, and therefore not of the common flesh of Jewish nature. The Deity of the Apostasy was bound to decree this to avoid the inconvenient questions, ‘Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean?’—(Job 14:4); and, ‘How can he be clean that is born of woman?’—(25:4.) Job says, ‘Not one’ can do this. But this paragon of virtue knew nothing of the Pope! He undertook to accomplish Job’s impossibility; for nothing is impossible with the Great Blasphemer of the Deity of the heaven! He decreed that the woman Mary was of clean and holy flesh, and therefore the thing born of her was ‘a holy thing,’ spotless flesh untainted of Adam’s sin, though εφ, ώ παντες ἡμαρτον in him all sinned, which an unsophisticated mind would suppose included all liable to death; Eli, Mary, her mother, and Jesus all died, and must necessarily have been included federally in Adam. But these considerations are no difficulty with the Chief Sorcerer of ‘Christendom.’ His magic wand, ‘thus I decree,’ transforms all lies into divine truths, and the grossest absurdities into the sublimest and most adorable mysteries.”
1873 Christadelphian, p 363.
