1 | Uriah the Hittite in Christ's lineage? | Matt 1:6 | EdB | 243022 | ||
I have always assumed Uriah was a proselyte, a man that had met David and became a close friend and fellow warrior. As such he would have no claim to the promised land and there would not be considered in the requirement to have an inheritance redeemer to provide an heir to possess his part of the promised land. However if that is right or wrong, the fact remains the Matt 1 was written to show the succession of Kings from David to Jesus. Uriah's bloodline plays no part and is of no effect. Because of this I don't understand Brent insistance that Solomon was the product of the inheritance redeemer law. We know David named Solomon The son he fathered by Bathsheba, king thus the kingly succession is complete just as God had promised |

2 | Uriah the Hittite in Christ's lineage? | Matt 1:6 | DocTrinsograce | 243027 | ||
Dear Ed, One other thing occurred to me: Liberal scholars have long thought that the Gospels Matthew and Luke were written in the late 80's or early 90's. Of course they speciously insist this in order to promulgate their own views. Of course, the struggle with liberal biblical scholarship ran on through the 20th century. The conservative scholars argue -- and I think rightly -- that the Matthew and Luke, though perhaps decades apart, were written prior to 70 AD. This is significant because prior to 70 AD, the lineage of any Jew was publicly -- well, to a Jew anyway -- available for review. These records were cared for meticulously by the Scribes. Anyway, I believe, with confidence, that if anyone questioned the lineage of Christ, they could go to the temple to affirm it. Indeed, such a challenge to these genealogies ever surfaced. In fact, had the genealogies been in question, trotting out the temple records would have ruined Christianity from the start. Rather, the ruling Jews remained silent on the subject. Furthermore, I am equally confident that they did check the records. Had they found a discrepancy, they knew how this would damage the Christian claims concerning our Lord. I was going to stay out of this thread. However, it seemed like the above might be helpful to people who have been persuaded by liberal teaching to question the soundness of the Scriptures. In Him, Doc |
