I respect your position. The Catholics have been very nice to my family while my daughter attends a Catholic girl's school.
The verse I quoted is a commandment from the old testament given by God to Adam and Eve. I realize Catholic doctrine does not recognize it as a commandment for all. There is much good in the Catholic and Evangelical movements however the Catholics have been much more tolerant than the Evangelicals who would not allow my daughter to attend their school.
It was very important that the Messiah's lineage came from the prophesied group. Vain geneaologies are condemned, but to the Jews there are requirements for the royal line of kings. These were not vain.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph Smith!
I see that and thank you for pointing it out, but I still wonder whether I am correct in recalling some Biblical admonition concerning geneologies?
I will doubt no longer.
He used to play golf on Sundays with his neighbors Buddha Jones, Ahura Mazda White, Kali Martinez, Thor Chang, and Muhammed Cohen. ;)
Give me a break. As if the "chalice = Jesus+Mary" is new.
1 thing for sure, it's sure become DE RIGEUR in the last 10 years or so. Certainly "the DaVinci Code" was a watershed in propagating this fantasy.
Of course, 1 could point out that (as far as we know), Jesus is NOT actually descended from David - who was the ancestor of JOSEPH.
Joseph was not actually part of Jesus' gene pool.
Perhaps you are right. Of course, we would need the geneaology of Anna and Joachim to be sure he was not descended from David through Mary.
This appears to be one man's, vanity press, musings. The Mormon church had nothing to do with it.
Da Vinci was a Mormon? Who knew!?
