In all arguments of doctrine, we always get caught up in the weeds of many Scriptures, but there is always one or two Scriptures that end the argument, by stating something so plainly about the subject at hand, that there is no room to argue otherwise.
And the interesting thing about it, is that it is usually a very well known Scripture, that any casual reader of the Bible or babe in Christ is familiar with.
The argument is that after Adam sinned, then the seed and flesh of man was cursed to become made of sin and born of the devil, with inborn lust for sinning from the womb:
And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life.
It is the serpent only, whose natural flesh was changed and cursed above all other flesh on earth, not man's.
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.
And that the cursed seed of the serpent is not the seed of man, but the seed of the devil is in opposition to that of man on earth.
Conclusion: neither man's seed nor natural flesh is cursed to be made with sin and born of the devil, as though had become the serpent on earth by sinning.
And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years.
Man's seed and flesh is made exactly the same today, as Christ did yesterday.
What was cursed for man was the ground, not his seed and flesh.
