Bible Question: HOW COULD JESUS BE A DESCENDANT OF DAVID IF HE WAS CONCIEVED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT? HE DID NOT HAVE AN EARTHLY FATHER. |
Bible Answer: Jesus was 1) a sinless man who was a physical descendant of David as his body grew in mary who was also a descendant of David, and 2) via the male authority of Joseph who as a descendant of David would be spiritualy responsible for Jesus until he was of age, and 3) the most difficult reason to understand is that as the spiritual descendant of David, via the fact that the Spirit of Jesus as God descended upon Jesus in the form of a dove to fullfill the spiritual requirement of David's prophecy when David refered to the coming Mesiah as his "Lord" in the scriptures. So to fullfill all symbolism, litteraly thru His physical body, propheticaly, and of the Spiritual promise - He could be nothing but the descendant of David, which also meant again of the spiritual promises given thru David via the Spirit of God who moved David and others to write/say so. Amen |
