1 | Why does Jesus have 2 genealogies? | Rom 1:18 | ateo | 67560 | ||
Searcher, It sounds like you're using the same arguments others have. I don't buy it b/c the writer in Luke doesn't mention Mary in the genealogy. I don't think it's intellectually honest to change the wording whenever the spirit moves you. Regardless, I'm really more interested in hearing other views about this question than I am debating the same thing I've heard over and over. ateo |

ateo, Surely, having read the bible more than a few times and the NT in the Greek and having participated in "countless Bible studies," you must be aware of the various theories about the geneologies other than the simple Mary / Jospeh theory. Not to mention the whole concept of the literary conventions and structure of geneologies in general in the Bible. Perhaps you could elaborate on them a little for the uninitiated and give us your analysis and critique? But isn't is all an exercise in futility if the whole point of the bible and especially the New Testament is null and void if there is no God? Surely then there must be better things to occupy one's valuable limited time. For if you believe there is no God you are not saving any one here from anything but ignorance and how can that help them if there is no God, but believeing in one makes us happy? And what good does it do for you other than providing intellectual exercise on an empty subject? Certainly your limited time would be more profitably spent with more enlightened people on subjects or material that you believe really exists for the limited time you have? Are you here to convince us of something or to reassure yourself about the conclusion you have reached? "It is hard for you to kick against the goad!" Are you really sure you are ateo? Emmaus |

Emmaus, I won't justify your facetiousness with a comment. It's obvious that you, as well as others, would like to see me go. Therefore, I'll take my ball and go home. This will be the last post I give. ateo |

ateo, My questions were not just facetious, but go to the heart of the matter of why you and we are here on this forum and on this earth. They are the really hard questions when compared to questions about geneologies and mathematics of the circumference of the sea in the temople. Emmaus |
