Bible Question:
Yes i agree but also in the book of Luke the 3rd chp it is lists the blood lines of Jesus linking him to the Adam which God created.But since Jesus blood lines came from Mary How did Joseph get in it? |
Bible Answer: "...the royal line is passed through Jesus' legal father, and His physical descent from David is established by Mary's lineage." Joseph is the descendant of David. Mary is also the descendant of David. "Luke's entire section [of genealogy] from Joseph to David differs starkly from that given by Matthew. The two genealogies are easily reconciled if Luke's is seen as Mary's genealogy, and Matthew's version represents Joseph's. "Thus the royal line is passed through Jesus' legal father, and His physical descent from David is established by Mary's lineage... "Joseph was "the son of Heli" by marriage (Heli having no sons of his own), and thus is named in Luke 3:23 as the representative of Mary's generation. Moses himself established precedent for this sort of substitution in Numbers 27:1-11; 36:1-12" (pp. 1518-1519, MacArthur Study Bible, 1997, Word). --JVH0212 "In essentials unity, in nonessentials liberty, and in all things charity." |
