Gen 3:15, And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
The above scripture is called by theologians the proto-evangelion of scripture; it was the first mention of a promise of Messiah as it was given to Adam and Eve.
Jesus is obviously the result of a union between the seed of the woman and the Holy Ghost.My comment was About Jesus' Body had nothing to do with Human Seed, Male or Female.

Notice how you had to alter the wording of scripture there in order to make it fit your doctrine.
It is the devil's common trick to change the wording of scripture and then say that it is the way that the original Greek or Hebrew rendered it.
As if to say that the people who translated the kjv were devoid of the fear of the LORD and deliberately translated it incorrectly. And also translated it without putting much prayer into the endeavor, so that the LORD would make it what it is supposed to be.
It will be everlasting; as evidenced by the plain rendering in the kjv.Excuse me did I say it was a direct quote, do you see any quote marks. You have heard of "paraphrasing" haven't you?
Here's what I said, "many will awake from the dust of the earth to great shame and age-lasting contempt"
Here's the direct quote,
“And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, some to shame and everlasting contempt.” (Dan 12:2)
The only real word change we made was substituting the word "age-lasting" for everlasting.
The reason being is that the shame and contempt that many will feel during the the millennial age will not be everlasting, it will either subside as they attempt to make amends for past wrongs and come into compliance with the new order and thus are slowly brought back to that perfection which was lost in father Adam or it will end when having been given every opportunity they still refuse to comply and are adjudged unworthy of life and are sentenced to second death.
It will be everlasting; as evidenced by the plain rendering in the kjv.
You have to change the wording in order to get your interpretation; you have to create a "paraphrase" that departs from the plain rendering of the text.
2Co 5:11, Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.
Jesus is obviously the result of a union between the seed of the woman and the Holy Ghost.
The hypostatic union is basic doctrine; you should check into it: for departure from it would amount to heresy.
God did not require a FEMALE SEED, to accomplish REVEALING Himself to the WORLD....
No. Mary's SEED had nothing to Do with the Lord Jesus' Body being in her Womb.
God IS NOT the Created.
Agreed. The Christian does not have to fear hell except under the skim chance that he would fall away completely from Christ.A Christian should not have fear in his heart. But on the basis of Heb. 4:1 and 2 Cor. 5:10, that fear should be a watch dog outside the door of the Christian's heart.
What is the nature of hell?
Mar 9:43, And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
Mar 9:44, Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
Mar 9:45, And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
Mar 9:46, Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
Mar 9:47, And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:
Mar 9:48, Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
Mar 9:49, For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.
If the worm does not die or perish completely in hell, what makes you think you will?
The fire is not quenched in that place: let the sinner take heed to the warning.
Gen 3:15, And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
Rom 1:3, Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
Isa 45:11, Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me.
If we are to take one part of the Lord's statement as literal (Mark 9:43) then all of it must be literal, and if one part symbolic all of it symbolic.
Did our Lord advocate self-mutilation?
If you can not EXPLAIN it, I will.
If you can not EXPLAIN it, I will.
The Lord was not using symbolism here but a different literary tactic, hyperbole...exaggeration to make a point.
He was saying by the passage in question that hell is not to be trifled with; and that sin, which puts people in hell, is to be dealt with in a very severe manner.
Gen 3:15
[15] And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
[11] Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me.

Thee LORD GOD speaking TO the Serpent.
Thee LORD GOD saying He will PUT Hostility BETWEEN the Serpents seed and the woman's seed.
What shall bruise the Serpents head?
Hostility of the woman.
What shall bruise His Heel? The Serpent.
Who is "His"... He that is Between the seed of the woman and the serpent.
Who is that? Jesus.
And Jesus Between the seed of the Serpent and the seed of the woman shall cause hostility of the woman toward the serpent.
It says NOTHING about the womans seed being used to reveal the Lord Jesus.
The woman's seed was protected from satan corrupting her seed.
Remember when fallen angels mated with women?
Remember Jesus had to come forth out of a Virgin womb.
Jesus was BETWEEN the serpents seed and the woman's seed...
The Serpent could NOT corrupt...her Virgin womb.
However the seed of the serpent DID corrupt men, and they DID beat and bruise Jesus.
Creation is One thing ~ Gods Idea of what does not Exist and with His Power and Word speaks the thing into Existence.
To MAKE, is taking something that EXISTS, and causing a CHANGE in it.
Once the Change is accomplished, then the Thing is then MADE changed.
Just like you do not "Create" a cake. You MAKE a cake. You use ingredients Already CREATED to MAKE a cake.
God created man, from a "CREATED" earth, then MADE man a living soul.
The Lord Jesus has ALWAYS existed.
For Him to Appear in the Likeness as a man He had to receive a Body (prepared of God), that LOOKED in the Likeness as a man.
The whole purpose was so MEN COULD SEE the Lord God, without SEEING the Lord God AS 'HE' is.
Who is SPEAKING? The LORD God.
How is He speaking? With His Power and His Word.
Who is the "Holy One of Israel"? The LORD God.
Who is "His" Maker? The Lord Jesus.
Who is the WORD? Jesus
Who is the POWER? Christ
Who is the MAKER of ALL things? the WORD.
None of these verses speak to or against what I said.
Mary's seed had NOTHING to do with Jesus being in Mary's Womb.
Glory to God,

The concept of hell is not exhaustively covered by a word search on the word hell and/or words that refer to hell, such as Gehenna.NO... that's not what he was saying at all, you're just vainly trying to force your eternal torment theory into the narrative to give your false theory support, but its not working, at least not to any true thinking Christian.
I think you need to follow Sister Charity's suggestion and do a through Exhaustive Topical Examination on the word "hell" as you are completely off base here.
