Confuting Protestantism’s Biblical Boo-boos Part III
By Jeanne d’Arce
 |
| GEN 3:15 I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel. (Douay Rheims Version) |
Consistent with their
anti-Marian biases and made worst by their usual biblical boo-boos, Protestants
don’t believe that the woman in Genesis 3:15 alludes to Mary, the future Mother
of God. Instead, the Protestants falsely
thought and taught that the mysterious woman refers to either Eve or Israel but
not to Mary (See Excerpts way below).
Let us expose their blooper.
The Bible declares positively that Mary was the woman of Genesis
3:15
Let us analyze Genesis 3:15:
GEN 3:15 I will
put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she
shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel. (Douay Rheims Version)
1. Who is the “thee?”
The
“thee” was the serpent (GEN 3:14). That
ancient serpent was the Devil or Satan (REV 12:9, 20:2).
2. Who is the “woman?”
The
“woman” was the spirit of the future Mary, the Mother of God (LK 1:43).
3.
What are the biblical proofs that the “woman” was the spirit of the future
Mary?
a.
The future offspring of the future woman “Mary” was Jesus Christ, who will crush
Satan and destroy his works (ROM 16:20; 1JN 3:8), whereas, the
future offspring of Satan - the anti-Mary, was the Antichrist (1JN 2:18; REV 13). Thus, God put enmity between the anti-Mary
Satan versus Mary and between Satan’s offspring, the Antichrist, versus Mary’s
offspring, the Christ. The antagonists
were clear-cut: Anti-Mary versus Mary and Antichrist versus Christ.
b.
God did not put enmity between Satan and Eve and between Satan’s offspring, the
Antichrist, and Eve’s offspring, Cain, because the latter also belonged to
Satan (1JN 3:12). Satan was not anti-Eve
and Eve was not anti-Satan, but rather, they were friends because Satan offered
Eve with a gift of the forbidden fruit and Eve graciously accepted and partook of
that gift.
c.
The enmity that God put between Satan and Mary and between their respective
offsprings mentioned in the Bible’s first book (GEN 3:15) was mentioned again in
the Bible’s last book (REV 12:17). The
reiteration was not an insignificant repetition but a crucial emphasis on the everlasting
mutual hatred between Satan and Mary and between Satan’s offspring and Mary’s
offspring.
d.
God did not put enmity between Satan and Israel and between Satan’s offspring,
the Antichrist, and Israel’s offspring, the Jews, because the latter don’t bear
witness to Jesus. Most Israelites never
heard of or believed in Jesus Christ, yesterday, today and tomorrow.
The Bible declares positively that Eve cannot be the woman of
Genesis 3:15
1.
Satan was not in enmity with Eve, but rather, they connived with one another
against the very first prohibition of God (cf GEN 3:1-19).
2.
Satan’s offspring, the Antichrist, was not in enmity with Eve’s offspring, Cain,
but rather, they both belonged to Satan (cf REV 13; 1JN 3:12).
3.
The
offspring of Eve, Seth, was not in the image and likeness of God, but rather,
he was in the image and likeness of the sinner Adam (cf GEN 5:3), whereas, the
offspring of Mary, Jesus Christ, was the image of the
invisible God and he was in the form of God (COL 1:15; PHIL 2:6).
The offspring of the
woman will strike at the head of Satan, meaning, the offspring was Jesus Christ
who
will crush Satan and destroy his works (cf ROM 16:20; 1JN 3:8), that is, the
Good destroying the Evil. Therefore, the
woman was not Eve but Mary.
4.
Until her death, Eve had no enmity with Satan, as her transgression was
remembered even in the New Testament (1TM 2:14).
5.
The part of God’s punishment to the woman in GEN 3:16 that states: “Yet your urge
shall be for your husband, and he shall be your master” applies to Eve and not
to Mary. Eve has urged for Adam that
they had sexual intercourses (cf GEN 4:1, 25), whereas, Mary has no interest in
either man or sex: “But Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since I
have no relations with a man (LK 1:34)?”
6.
Mary was the good tree that bears good fruit, whereas, Eve was the rotten tree that
bears bad fruit (cf MT 7:17-18). Mary’s
good fruit was Jesus Christ who committed no sin (cf 1PT 2:22), while Eve’s bad
fruit was Cain who belonged to the evil one (cf 1JN 3:12).
The Bible declares positively that Israel cannot be the woman of
Genesis 3:15
1.
If Jesus Christ was alluded to as Israel in the verses MT 2:15 and PS 114:1
below, then Israel cannot be the woman; otherwise, Israel becomes the offspring
of Israel, or conversely, Israel becomes the mother of Israel. No matter what angle you look at it, it’s
definitely a no-no.
MT 2:15 He
stayed there until the death of Herod, that what the Lord had said through the
prophet might be fulfilled, "Out of Egypt I called my son."
PS 114:1 When
Israel came forth from Egypt, the house of Jacob from an alien people…
2.
Jesus Christ was never called the Son of Israel, but rather, the Son of Mary,
or the Son of David (MK 6:3; MT 1:1).
3.
God did not sent his Son to neither Israel nor David to be born, but rather, to
a woman – the woman mentioned in GEN 3:15, IS 7:14, JN 2:4, JN 19:26, GAL 4:4 –
and that woman was none other than Mary.
4.
In IS 7:14, God said: the virgin (NOT ISRAEL) shall be with child, and bear a
son, and shall name him Immanuel. And
that virgin was none other than Mary (MT 1:18-23) and not Israel.
5.
Solomon was molded in Bathsheba’s womb into flesh in a ten-months' period – body
and blood (WIS 7:1-2) and not in Israel’s womb, if there ever was such a weird thing
to think. In the same manner, Jesus
Christ was molded in Mary’s womb and not in Israel’s womb (cf MT 1:20; LK 1:31,
35). As children, Solomon and Jesus Christ
took their body and blood from their respective mothers, and not from Israel
which was never a mother that has uterus, and the Bible testifies on this fact:
HEB 2:14-15 Now
since the children share in blood and flesh, he likewise shared in them, that through
death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, and free those who through fear of death had been subject to
slavery all their life.
6.
From conception to gestation to delivery (cf LK 1:26-38, 1:39-45, 2:1-14),
Jesus was in the womb of Mary and never in the womb of Israel.
The verse that says
Jesus Christ was literally and physically conceived and born by either Eve or Israel
was nowhere found and is simply missing in any Bible versions or translations. Why? Because,
they are mere inventions of the lost Protestants as the following excerpts attests:
Excerpts:
Protestantism’s perverted interpretation of Genesis 3:15
By
rlsmith:
WHO IS THE WOMAN in Gen 3:15?
Gen 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the
woman, and between thy seed and her seed.
This is one of the most misunderstood verses in ALL of Scripture.
IF we can’t understand the true meaning of Gen 3:15 then we might as well forget about trying,
to understand much of the Bible.
When God opened my eyes to this truth,
I basically had to start over in my Bible Study.

When God opened my eyes to this truth,
I basically had to start over in my Bible Study.
It should be obvious here, that THE WOMAN in Gen 3:15
is Eve,
because she is the Mother of the human race. We can’t forget God’s sovereign command back in
Gen 1:27 God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him;
male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply.

Gen 1:27 God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him;
male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply.
Therefore the seed in Gen 3:15 can ONLY be human seed.
Therefore, the serpent must refer to Adam, because no Angel can reproduce with any human being.
Therefore, the serpent must refer to Adam, because no Angel can reproduce with any human being.
This is a case of simple biological reproduction, as
can be proved by Gen 4:1
And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said,
I have gotten a man from the LORD. And again she bar his brother abel.
And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said,
I have gotten a man from the LORD. And again she bar his brother abel.
Therefore the seed in Gen 3;15 must refer to Cain and
Abel.
Then the enmity was manifested when Cain rose up in Gen
4;8 and slew his brother abel.
Not only that, Eve herself defined the meaning of the
word SEED in Gen 4:25
And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she,
hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she,
hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
So when Adam became wicked in Gen 3:1 God started to
use the SERPENT
As a metaphor to describe the wicked behavior of Adam.
As a metaphor to describe the wicked behavior of Adam.
Such a METAPHORIC connection can be easily seen if we
go to Psalm 58:3 which says
“The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
Their poison is L---I---K---
the poison of a serpent”.
“The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
Their poison is L---I---K---
the poison of a serpent”.
Christ also used this metaphor to describe the wicked
behavior of the Pharisees
in Mat 23:33 when he said "YE SERPENTS".
in Mat 23:33 when he said "YE SERPENTS".
Despite all this clear evidence for the true meaning of
the SERPENT, most Bible students today still
blindly assume that the SERPENT is SATAN, because they want to blame a fallen angel,
for the source of evil in our world.
blindly assume that the SERPENT is SATAN, because they want to blame a fallen angel,

But their case is destroyed by Jer 17:9 THE HEART is
deceitful, above ALL THINGS,
And desperately wicked. Who can know it?
And desperately wicked. Who can know it?
Paul recognized the wickedness of the Human Heart as he
spoke in Rom 7:23
O WRETCHED man that I am,
Who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
O WRETCHED man that I am,
Who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
As long as the majority of Bible students continue to
blame SATAN, the fallen angel
For the source of evil, in our world,
the human race will continue to descend into further darkness and chaos.
the human race will continue to descend into further darkness and chaos.
We should remember that the FEAR OF THE LORD, is the
beginning of wisdom.
Today it seems like the FEAR OF SATAN, has taken over many churches,
with many DELIVERANCE ministries sprouting up to train people how to fight imaginary fallen angels.
As long as the majority of Bible students expect our Creator to destroy this imaginary
SATAN, through bible prophecy, the real evildoers will continue to flourish with no righteous opposition.
We need to start to fight the real war as described by 1 peter 2:11 saying
“Abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul”.
Remember He that HUMBLES himself will be exalted.
The most humble position that we can take, is one where MAN is the ONLY sinner in existence.
As soon as any Angel of God is accused of sin, we are exalting ourselves to an UNGODLY position.
I hope and pray that you will join me, in exposing this fallen angel myth,
before it causes more pain and suffering to the human race.

Who
is the woman in genesis 3:15?
Nathan:
Who is the Woman referred to in genesis chapter 3 verse
15 and what does SHE represent?
Best Answer - Chosen by Voters
jeshurun:
In the Bible, the ancient nation of Israel was known as
Jehovah God's wife; Isaiah chapter 62 is a good chapter showing this point;
Isaiah 62:4.
6 Jehovah quickly rendered judgment against Satan by
stating in the first Bible prophecy: “I shall put enmity between you and the
woman and between your seed and her seed. He will bruise you in the head and
you will bruise him in the heel.” (Gen. 3:15) Enmity would persist between
Satan and God’s “woman.” Yes, Jehovah viewed the heavenly organization of
faithful spirit creatures as a beloved wife bonded with him as Husband. This
prophecy provided a sure basis for hope, although the details remained a
“sacred secret” to be revealed progressively. God purposed that one from within
the heavenly part of his organization would crush all rebels and that through
him “the things in the heavens and the things on the earth” would be brought together.—Eph.
1:8-10.
