Response To Sideline Post On Jesus Geneology

Hence, the prophetic curse upon Jeconiah stands inviolate. But, the legal adoption of Jesus by Joseph reckoned the legal rights of Joseph to Jesus as a son, not the biological curse. This is why we need two genealogies: one of Mary (the actually biological line according to prophecy), and the legal line through Joseph.This is from the website you gave mehttp://www.carm.org/questions/2geneologies.htmFrom the bible:Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with [child of the Holy Ghost.]And:Luk 1:27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was [Joseph, of the house of David;] and the virgin's name [was] Mary.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Luk 2:4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of DavidThe father of the child IS the Holy Ghost in black and white .I am certain that this is no problem since we will just twist the translation around to cover our ass and SLAP ourselves in the head to have thought we could think otherwise.[This message has been edited by sidelined, 10-20-2003]
