Unkowning incest then. Your “point” is still pointless. Judah’s act was not endorsed by God, simply because Jesus was among his progeny, any more than David’s act of adultery was endorsed by God because Jesus was a son of David. You’re going to have to work very hard to turn fornication into a biblical virtue.

Still having trouble with those black words on the white page aren't we?

You are one of the reasons many Americans turn away from Christians. No one has ever claimed Judah's act was "endorsed" by God. I said "forgiven", a concept clearly alien to your thoughts.

David’s act of adultery was punished, clearly, by God, even if spiritual forgiveness took place. David lost a child. Remember? Paul told Christians not to even eat with believers who were in gross sin. Do you have a problem with scripture itself, or does scripture describe a Godly reality that makes you uncomfortable?
