Iconoclast says:
1. The messiah had to be a descendent of David.
Through Solomon.
Judge:
Iconoclast....please ...re-read my first post (pretty please).
Matthews geneolgy is that of
mary.
Mary is therefore
descended from Solomon .Please see Matthew 1:6-7
Iconoclsat says:
first women can't provide lineage
Judge replies:
Who cares? The requirement is that the messiah be a descendent of David, thats all.
Guess what? Jesus is a priest too, but he was not of the tribe of Levi. Read the epistle to the Hebrews for an explanation.
.
Iconoclast says:
second there is no evidence this is Mary's lineage.
Judge:
Please re-read the first post
Iconoclast says:
If Mary was of the tribe of david why did she perform task in the temple? That was the job of the levites! Her cousin Elizabeth was a levite as was her uncle! What does this mean? This means the BROTHER of her uncle was also a levite!
Judge:
Can you elaborate here?
And what is the
tribe of david?
The twelve tribes were the sons of Jacob. David was not a son of Jacob.
All the best.
