1 | How was Jesus of David's seed/line? | Gen 3:15 | jonnyr1 | 110959 | ||
"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 |

2 | How was Jesus of David's seed/line? | Gen 3:15 | Pastor Glenn | 110961 | ||
Jon, Your question is: "How was Jesus of David's seed/line?" Here are scriptures: Luke 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. Luke 1:32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: Luke 1:69 And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David; Luke 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 David:) Luke 2:11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. Luke 3:31 Which was the son of Melea, which was the son of Menan, which was the son of Mattatha, which was the son of Nathan, which was the son of David, Luke 6:3 And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was an hungred, and they which were with him; Luke 18:38 And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me. Luke 18:39 And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou son of David, have mercy on me. Are you desputing some or all of these sciptures? Why? Pastor Glenn |

3 | How was Jesus of David's seed/line? | Gen 3:15 | jonnyr1 | 110965 | ||
Hello Pastor Glenn, Of course I'm not disputing some or all of these scriptures. But there are some problems with your response. 1) Jesus had to be in the line of David according to the flesh. You fail to show anything scriptural that supports this. 2) Jesus has to be of David's Physical seed, but how is this possible? Some scholars argue that the hebrew or greek (it escapes me) word that is used as virgin should acually mean young maiden, and the same word is translated as young maiden earlier in the scriptures. Do you have more information on this? -He was contantly called his son. But you certainly aren't saying that he actually sired Jesus, are you? Simple adoption doesn't seem to fulfill that he is of david's sead through the flesh. Jon |

4 | How was Jesus of David's seed/line? | Gen 3:15 | Morant61 | 110976 | ||
Greetings Jon! In your listing of two problems, I find a problem as well. Let's look at your first one. Is there anything in Scripture that specifically says that Jesus is not from the physical line of David? The answer is, 'No'! So, what is the problem? Christ is refered to as being a Son of David. Christ is said to be physically descended from David. The two genealogies both list Him as being a descendent of David. There is nothing saying that He isn't a descendent of David. So, I don't understand your problem. :-) As far as problem two goes, we know that Jesus was not physically descended from Joseph. Therefore, the only other possibilty is that Mary was also a descendent of David. Granted, Scripture does not specifically say this, but it is a logical assumption. Concerning the Hebrew and Greek words, they both normally refered to a woman who had not had sexual relations. The idea of 'chastness' was very strong in both of the words. What was unique about Mary is that in the normal process, a young vigin would have sexual relations, thereby ceasing to be a virgin, and then conceive. However, Mary did not have sexual relations prior to conception, so she was the ultimate fulfillment of the prophecy in Isaiah. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
