Listing lineage does not constitute family bonds.

You read into it all that family bonds and the familial relations we all have are trumpeted throughout the Bible.

I'm seriously questioning your reading comprehension.

Last try: Bible history is an explanation of God reclaiming His Family through expanding covenants culminating in the New Covenant for all by Jesus, His Son.

You are now changing your statements into “Bible history” and completely avoiding the original statement I made.

The only FACT anyone needs to be a Christian is: God’s sacrific of His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ.

John 3:16.

The rest, is details.

You have begun to digress well beyond the point of our debate. If my reading comprehension is to be an issue, your attention span needs considerable looking at as well.

Your explanation does not satisfy me for one reason- it’s not concise.

The question at hand is “Why did God send Jesus?”

Your response is “to bring us all back into His family.”

Mine is “He loves me.”

Sure, since He loves me, He wants what you state- but your explanation is so sterile. So exclusive.

God loves me. And His Grace is sufficient for me. From there, we learn to listen to His Wisdom. Therefore, because of the relationship started (and proved) by His Sacrifice, the rest of His message NOW has meaning.

If He did not love us so, then the rest would be unimportant and of no consequence.

If you are familiar with computers, you might refer to this as the system’s Boot sequence. Without this code, the rest is useless flop. Software with no way to be understood. Not in any manner it’s MEANT to be understood, anyway.
