What lineage was Mary? They are Jews, remember? Wasn't Joseph her father's brother?
can you share that?
Luke 3 does not!
in fact, that whole idea of using luke to correct matthew is foolish
What lineage was Mary? They are Jews, remember? Wasn't Joseph her father's brother?
i could swear that is what i was sharing; the miracle was from Joseph making a good choice.
how is it that you are believing that a lineage of a human being could be from an adoption?
Perhaps for a paper trail of physical rights but of blood line, that doesn't apply. And since there are no records of either a paper trail of births throughout the lineage of either parent; then the whole ideology of Jesus being of the bloodline of David is open to opinion rather than facts.
Rather, the miracle being from the immaculate conception and birth.
We all God's kids (we live within existence and alive because of the same 'light of life')I am believing it because Joseph was also a nice person properly startled by God's kid?
not to me or in anything i can read unless from strange religiously bound interpretations.Depends. Was Mary a descendant of David?
And, ultimately, does it really matter in any conceivable way?
can you share that?
Luke 3 does not!

When forty years of age, Joseph married a woman called Melcha or Escha by some, Salome by others; they lived forty-nine years together and had six children, two daughters and four sons, the youngest of whom was James (the Less, "the Lord's brother"). A year after his wife's death, as the priests announced through Judea that they wished to find in the tribe of Juda a respectable man to espouse Mary, then twelve to fourteen years of age. Joseph, who was at the time ninety years old, went up to Jerusalem among the candidates; a miracle manifested the choice God had made of Joseph, and two years later the Annunciation took place

Yes. Know means having conjugal visitations. He didn't screw her until after her son was born. Someone else 'knew' her previously.
No wait. He was her cousin, although he was much older than her [married for 40 years and widdowed, before he married her, and his first marriage was late]. Their fathers were brothers, Josephs father was Heli and Marys father was Joachim [heli is sometimes referred to as Mary's father but I think its because he was her father in law]
A correction to your thinking: in your opinion, the Nicene Council changed this story. Ultimately, it's also interpretable from the NT. Thus, your opinion is your own.
Why are you so worried about the religious observances of others?
Is there some creed that isn't corrupting that you think everyone should switch to?
Not really, no. The passages you cite are being misinterpreted by you.
what minor part?First, the minor technicality you cling to has already been easily explained.
i am not claiming that was changed; i can see many translations and see to read it and understand it; then jesus was not of Davids Bloodline thru JosephThe second passage you cite is evidence of His humility, rather than a doctrinal change.
God is the father to all mankind; you, me, jesus, darwin and charles mansonHow do you explain Jesus describing God as His Father, and stating that "no one goes to the Father except through Jesus?
"no one goes to the Father except through Jesus?
As for your supposed concern that other people are believing something you describe as a fib: if you are really so concerned for the well-being of others, why not let them believe as they choose?
each should be responsible for their actions; i could care less what they believe when their beliefs DO NOT IMPOSE adversely to existence.Should others be as concerned about your own religion?
which one?I imagine there are a few passages in your holy book that might cause people a great deal of concern.
which one?I certainly agree that false witnessing - by some people at least - is heinous. I can think of one such doctrine. Like a mere man, for example, that sets himself up in a holy book as an equal with God. (!) Reprehensible, isn't it?
i didn't misinterpret.... i posted them from 'youngs literal translation"...because if joseph had not touched mary, than matthew was incorrect to assume joseph bloodline was to david; (as the torah prophecized)
the OTHER idea you are trying to use is that mary was related to joseph
i tink that back when, since hercules was using that, that u and i are supposed to believe that any man can be better than another, if he be god's kid directly
notice it is the knowledge that is important, because Jesus is not here except within the spirit of what he left (by choice, he gave to mankind)
like i said NO PROBLEM.. believe as you wish
but shut up when speaking (representing something as truth, but is not: false witnessing)
that is not your right, nor any on this whole globe: period!
each should be responsible for their actions; i could care less what they believe when their beliefs DO NOT IMPOSE adversely to existence.
You don't understand. Answer a question: is Jewish identity traced exclusively patrilineally, or also via the mother? What house was Mary of? You are making, moreover, a massive deal of a simple "adoption" in an attempt to score points.
So what is the false witnessing here?
most all of themThat you think there's a conflict in one of the NT books?
It's already been explained. So tell me what the "false witnessing" part is. Frankly, I would call it the simple failure to completely address lineage in that section, which is frankly, not what the NT is about.
All of mankind, life; GOD.Define. Whose existence?
a misdirection is a 'loss to the common'In what way?
but of course...... see what Jesus charged and what people believe........... when comparing, do you see the conflicts?Doctrinally?
Corporeally? In expression?
if the score was important; then i will be the loser
notice, i don't care about scoring points. I could care less about changing YOUR MIND.
the line to david.
what is the NT for, then. I bet i clear it up in one line
Matt 16: 20 Then did he charge his disciples that they may say to no one that he is Jesus the Christ.
I thought you were pissed about 'false witness'. Were you witnessing falsely.
and to allow that awareness to set in, then to begin the humility of perhaps being capable of addressing in an objective fashion, then progress can ensue.So what? We've talked about that.
to some who wish to retain an idea rather than observing the implications (what is does to others and the rest of knowledge)I bet you don't.
Why did he do that? Did he say "Because I'm not"? Nope.
don't tell me, jesus wanted the people to fib on his behalf.
That isn't even remotely implied. Would you please stop bearing false witness? Thanks.
Same. Stop with the false witnessing.
because not a one was capable of conveyingAnd spare me the "what ifs" crap - why didn't any of the other messiahs finish the job?
Why would God even care or bother? And so on.
You false witnessed about the line of David and its importance, PUNK. Are you blind?
You know that it's not what you think it is, so why are you keeping with the falsehoods?
"Not one had the material knowledge we had today" - they're Prophets of God, for crying out loud. God suddenly doesn't know?
Maybe you should go back to Theology.
