You quoted a post of mine, did you understand the points I made in it ?
I only have the use of my own interpretations.
Seed is that from which anything springs; original; first cause. It also signifies descendants, generation, race. Everything comes from the seed. Everything’s seed is in itself, and everything brings forth after its kind. In the creation God commanded the earth to bring forth grass, {all flesh is as grass,} the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind. He also commanded the waters to bring forth the moving creature which hath life. And the waters brought forth abundantly, the living creatures after their kind. He also said, “Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind; and it was so.”

He shall see His Seed Isa 53:10
10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
To any honest heart, it can be seen in this scripture the indication that Christ has a Seed ! One writer writes :
The interesting phrase "Everything’s seed is in itself, and everything brings forth after its kind."
Hence Christ's Seed was in Himself, it was them which were Chosen in Him before the foundation Eph 1:4, yes these qualify as Christ's Seed, and He by the Eternal Decree and Purpose of God, was to bring forth His Seed, Just as His Type was to bring forth his seed, God said to Adam Gen 1:26-28
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
However Christs Seed was not multiplied by any natural generation, but it must be by a Spiritual Generation, for He is Spiritual 1 Cor 15:46
Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
Jesus would accomplish this Him being fruitful and multiplying by His death, for He said concerning it Jn 12:24
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
I tell you the truth [L Truly, truly I say to you], a grain of wheat must fall to the ground and die to make ·many seeds [L much fruit]. But if it never dies, it remains only a single ·seed [grain].EXB
Christ the Seed, by His Death brings forth His Seed. The word seed also means His descendants, and by this Christ is in line with the very core principles of Creation.
All who are born again are Christ's Seed, having been Chosen in Him before the foundation ! Eph 1:4 !
Awesome study, TY! ☺
God's sons chosen in Christ Jesus Eph. 1:4, the Seed of Christ, constitute the world that Christ died for John 3:16-17.
For the were given Grace before the world began 2 Tim. 1:9, and only they who shall receive the Promise of the Spirit.
Is. 44:3
For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground:
I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring
Gal. 4:6
And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

by the "eternal inheritance", is meant heaven, which is by gift and bequest, belongs to children only, and comes through the death of Christ; and is a very substantial, plentiful, and glorious one; it is incorruptible and undefiled, and that fades not away, and as here, "eternal"; it was prepared from the foundation of the world, and will continue for ever; and it may be so called, to distinguish it from the inheritance of the land of Canaan, or any temporal one: "the promise" of this was made before the world began, and was put into the hands of Christ, the surety of the better testament, by whose death the heirs of it come to enjoy both the promise, and the thing promised; and they are such who are "called", not merely externally, but internally and effectually; by whom were meant, not Abraham and his natural seed, nor the Old Testament saints only, but all that are called with an holy calling, whether Jews or Gentiles, and who will enjoy both the promise of the inheritance, and that itself, in a way of "receiving": every word shows this affair to be all of grace; it is an "inheritance", and therefore the Father's gift; it is by "promise", and so of grace; and it is "received", and so freely given, and not merited; and only such who are "called" by grace possess it; and yet it is through the death of Christ, that so it might be received in a way consistent with the justice of God.
What does John mean here in this scripture 1 Jn 5:11
11 And this is the record,testimony,witness, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son !
Who are the Us God has given Eternal life to ? The first impulse would be to reply, The Believer, which of course would be accurate, but it also means the Sheep, them Jesus said this of Jn 10:27-28
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
Note: Those Sheep God gives to them Eternal Life, the Promise is that they shall never Perish !
Also the Us means these Jn 17:2
2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.
They are the "as many as the Father hath given Him" Which speaks to Election ! Both the as many as and the Sheep correspondingly are those given to Christ by the Father Jn 10:27-29
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
In fact the word given in Jn 17:2 and the word gave in Jn 10:29 they are the same exact word, the verb didómi which points out that they are the same ones given to Christ, meaning those given in Jn 17:2 are the same as the Sheep in Jn 10:29 which are none other than the Elect of God from amongst mankind !
Now thats the Testimony, Record, Witness John wrote, that God has given us Eternal Life, which is in His Son, So it had been given us in Christ the Son, before we received the Record , Testimony, or Witness of it ! It was given us in Him before the foundation, by Promise Titus 1:1-2
Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness;
2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;
Amen! The Sheep given to the Son by the Father are the same spoken of in John 3:16,
that constitutes the world that shall never perish, those that God Loved.
Eph. 1:3-4
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world,
that we should be holy and without blame before him in love
There is no Eternal Life for any outside of the Election of Grace 2 Tim. 1:9
who were given (didōmi), according to God's Purpose and Grace, Salvation before the world began.
~~~~~
Amen, and all who have been given Eternal Life in the Son, God sends them a Testimony of it !
Truly an Unmistakeable Witness!
Gal. 4:6
And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
Rom. 8:15-17
15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption,
whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him,
that we may be also glorified together.

Excellent!

No he doesn't, but good job because he is still accountable to God for the truth being told him!
Yes he is! :thumb:

You need to embrace Christ instead of some acronym.
From all indications, you don't know Him, and He doesn't know you John 10:14 KJV!
So your spiritual observation of me is without warrant and totally in vain. Meaningless!
