1 | How was Jesus of David's seed/line? | Gen 3:15 | Emmaus | 110957 | ||
Jon, You seem to have an extraordinary high standard for proofs. Mine may not satisfy you, but here is my reasoning from Scripture. Many hold that the geneology of Luke is Mary's geneology. But even if that was not the case, under Jewsish law an adopted son has the same status as a natural son and so the geneology of Joseph would applied to Jesus, just as our status as adopted children of God (see Romans) grants us status in the family of God. Emmaus |

"You seem to have an extraordinary high standard for proofs. Mine may not satisfy you, but here is my reasoning from Scripture." -I have one standard for proof. TRUTH. "Many hold that the geneology of Luke is Mary's geneology. But even if that was not the case, under Jewsish law an adopted son has the same status as a natural son and so the geneology of Joseph would applied to Jesus, just as our status as adopted children of God (see Romans) grants us status in the family of God." -Yes, many hold that Luke is Mary's geneology. This is something that people make up in an attempt to fix the problem. Mary's name doesn't even appear in the entire geneology of Luke 3! It would be pretty suspicious to say that it is her geneology when her name isn't even in it! Not to mention Romans 1:3 says that "Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh". Jewish law has nothing to do with 'the seed of David according to the flesh'. Also a note, no women is held of high enough importance in the Bible to have their geneology listed. Jon |

Jon, Don't you think the earliest Christians had the same question you do? How do you think they resolved them? And who or what, in your opinion, is the final arbiter of the "TRUTH" of any interpretation of ambiguous passages of Scripture? The Scripture, you , some other authority? I know my answer to those questions, but I am from a minority camp on the foruma dni don't think you are in that particular camp, so what is your answer? Emmaus Emmaus |

"Don't you think the earliest Christians had the same question you do? How do you think they resolved them? And who or what, in your opinion, is the final arbiter of the "TRUTH" of any interpretation of ambiguous passages of Scripture?" -Some of them that read scripture may have had this question. Of course God is always the Final and Absolute truth. When it comes to ambiguous passages, many similiar verses need to be brought together. If we can't understand it, what good did it do for God to put it there? The Bible is supposed to be 'a lamp unto our feet, and a light unto our path', not a question and trivia book for stimulating confusing brain activity. If the message can't be understand, it has no purpose and no meaning to those that hear or read it. 1Co 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. -I know of no book ever written that is more confusing than the Bible. "I know my answer to those questions, but I am from a minority camp on the foruma dni don't think you are in that particular camp, so what is your answer?" -Exactly what minority camp are you referring to good Emmaus. What is my answer? I don't have one and it is nagging me. Hence my question to you! Jon |

Jon, The Catholic minority camp, that believes in Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition. But here I try to work within the parameters of the beliefs of the majority of the forum and the forum's sponsor, which is Sola Scriptura. Emmaus |
