answers1: As noted above: the kingly inheritance from David came
through Joseph ... the adoption was needed because the physical
descendants of Jeconiah (the king at the time of capture by Babylon)
were cursed to never be on the throne. (1) <br>
<br>
It also goes back to Abraham because of the covenant promises the
Almighty made to Abraham. Specifically that through him all the
families of the world would be blessed which is fulfilled in the
Messiah. (2)
answers2: THe interesting part is if you read Luke, you actually get a
different genealogy. There is very little chance of the early
Christian knowing the actual line of David through to Jesus. Most
likely, Matthew's reference to 14 is the key to this genealogy. It is
more of a theological statement that something significant happens
every 14 generations. Is this a historical record of Jesus' line?
Most scholars would suggest that most likely not.
answers3: That is why the "of whom" is feminine-gendered relative
pronoun, meanng it refers to Miryam not Yoseph, thus revealing the
virgin birth. Otherwise, it would have used a plural
masculine-gendered relative pronoun to refer to both parents "of whom"
was born Yeshua. <br>
<br>
And yes, adopted sons are treated as nothing less than biological
sons, like when Yaakov adopted Ephraim and Manasseh from Yoseph. <br>
<br>
Psalms 83:18 is wrong. It doesn't matter if Miryam was descended from
David. Tribal identity is only passed patrilineally (from the father).
answers4: There are two genealogies in the New Testament. One is
Jesus' lineage through Joseph, as you point out. The others is Jesus'
lineage through Mary. <br>
<br>
The lineage through Mary shows Jesus to be physically descended from
the line of David, as is required for the Messiah. <br>
<br>
In the 1st century in Jerusalem, one recieved their birthright from
their father. Being the son of someone meant you had their authority,
their inheritance, and their power. This always came via the father,
and never the mother. Thus, Jesus receives from Joseph fatherly and
spiritual lineage from David. <br>
<br>
----- <br>
<br>
It's worth noting -- contrary to one very poorly informed answer --
that these genealogies were kept in the Jewish temple. They were of
the utmost importance to the Jewish people as they looked for their
promised Messiah. Jews everywhere could easily have verified the
information in the genealogies, when these accounts were written.
When the Jewish temple was destroyed in 70 A.D., (15 to 20 years after
the first of these gospels was written) the lineages were destroyed,
as well.
answers5: Because the jews had this myth that the king who would come
and get Jeruselum back for them HAD to be a descendant of that horny
murderer, David. But.... in fact, our Lord Jesus was born of Mary,
who was made pregnant by the holy sperm that was inserted into her
womb by the holy ghost, when he came into her room one night. She
kept crying out "OhGOd!! Oh God!! It's so big!!" Oh Goddd!". <br>
Seriously, Jesus was NOT a descendant of David.... his father was God in Heaven!
answers6: Given that there were several different messianic
"religions"/"cults" at the time, it was an attempt to provide
"legitimacy" to a particular one. While some apologetics will try to
dismiss the Mathew genealogy and the one in Luke as validations for
the Jews and the gentiles, it is clear that both are attempts to unite
the various "flavors" of messianic beliefs that existed in the early
first century. This highlights that contrary to what Christians
believe, Christianity did not come from a small group which eventually
separated into multiple beliefs, but it was a melding of independent
groups which eventually coalesced on a physical, rather than a
spiritual, messiah.
answers7: it shows joseph who adopted jesus was from king david <br>
<br>
a adopted son could still inherit the family name
answers8: In the Gospel they do explain Jesus' genealogy from Mary as
she is a descendant of David. Joseph is has to be proven as well,
because in prophecy their were signs and qualifications to look at to
prove Jesus as the Messiah. There were many things people were told to
look for....this was one of those things
answers9: Take a look at Luke chapter 3: 23-38 This is Mary's blood
line going back to Adam. <br>
In this bloodline you will notice that Levi and David are in it. This
is where Jesus <br>
is known as Lord of lords and King of kings. The priest and king line
was joined <br>
in Mary. Now re-read Genesis 3:15 This verse is the first mentioning
of the crucifixion <br>
of Christ Jesus. Jesus is that " seed " This is why Eve is called the
Mother of all Living. <br>
The same " seed " that God told Abraham would be the Father of many
nations. <br>
Now read John 1-all. Or just read revelations 22: 16
answers10: Well, that explains it - You are calling the writing of a
Roman Governor your bible. For if you read the Scriptures you would
find that creation is in ascending order. Woman as formed last and is
on a higher spiritual level than man. Than both male and female were
created as equal, having different but interlocking roles of equal
importance. You would also find that the Creator told Abrahom to
listen to Sarah that she was right. That Huldah, not Jeremiah her
contemporary, nor the priests were asked if what was found was
actually a lost Torah scroll. Devorah was a Judge and a General, that
no woman worshiped or even gave a bit of her jewelry to the making of
the golden calf.
