Subject: HOW WAS MARY IN THE LINEAGE OF DAVID? |
Bible Note: David Gordon Your student/class mate/teacher was a little confused. Mary wasn't the daughter of a harlot but there was a harlot in her lineage. Boaz's mother was Rahab the prostitute of Jericho Joshua 2:1. So yes there was harlot in the lineage of Mary and of Jesus. EdB |
