1 | Is Mary anyhow related to King David???? | Luke 3:23 | King T | 240492 | ||
My friend, I am very sorry, but if your intention was to confuse me, you thoroughly succeeded. Just starting from your point/bullet 4, I don't know what you are talking about. May be the English is just too deep for me. I will have to re-read your answer all over again and again. Let me be quick though to point out that the way I see it; our learned Bible Scholars Robert Jamieson, A. R. Fausset and David Brown were only expressing their opinion just like your College Professor, and just like you and I. Without starting a debate though, I am more interested in express statement from the Bible that supports or traces the lineage of Mary back to King David without ambiguity. Personally I believe esoteric communication is subject to individual interpretation. I could be wrong or just missing some fundamental concept somewhere, but I believe the scripture as contained in the Bible is the infallible Word of God. I don't think it was meant for man's extrapolation [Prov 30:5, 6]. Much Blessings. |

2 | Is Mary anyhow related to King David???? | Luke 3:23 | Jalek | 240493 | ||
Greetings, As I stated in my previous post, both of those were excerpts from two different sources that comments on the genealogies. As far as a Bible passage that states the genealogy in Luke is through Mary, there isn't one. However, I'm confused as to why you seem hesitant to extrapolate from Scripture, yet at the same time admit that the Bible is subject to individual interpretation. After all, Extrapolation and Interpretation go hand in hand with one another, especially when done through proper exegesis and hermeneutics. Now, as far as your primary question, "Is Mary anyhow related to King David?", the answer is obvious, and I'm surprised that it even needs to be asked. "Yes, she is." Why do we know this? The answer is equally simple, and the Bible does tell us. In Revelations 2:16, Jesus says it plainly, "I am the Root and Offspring of David." Now, since he's not born to Joseph, but born only to Mary, then we can EXTRAPOLATE that Mary was also an "Offspring" or a descendant of King David. Jalek |

3 | Is Mary anyhow related to King David???? | Luke 3:23 | King T | 240495 | ||
Thank you for your answer Sir. It shook me for a while. It is amazing how I have shot my eyes quickly above the answer that I had so much sought after for so long, without seeing it. The main reason that would have been my follow up Question had for some time become a thorn on my flesh. As for extrapolation, may be I did not accurately express myself, but I prefer to take the Scriptures to mean literally what is contained therein. May be I haven't come across that which is outside my literal adoption yet. Once again thank you so much for the revelation contained in Revelations 22:16. It gives so much peace and comfort - more than you'd ever know I believe. I am thoroughly glad I asked when I did. Much Blessings |
