I thought the discussion had to do with the sin nature coming from the father and not about "Jewishness". Scripture says, as Metmom pointed out, that sin came from Adam and because of Adam's sin we are all sinners. This doctrine is quite different from the one about Jesus' lineage going back to the throne of David. We had this discussion back some time ago, and we know that both Mary and Joseph can trace back to David's lineage but only Mary's side was without a curse (Jeconiah) so that Jesus was legally entitled to the throne of David.
Correct; this unScriptural idea.

Jesus was legally entitled to the throne of David? God Almighty constricted to human legalities? Oh man, oh man, oh man. I don't know whether to laugh or cry at statements like this.
Why is it Adam's sin when Eve clearly initiated it? Even the punishment exacted by God for it seems to be harsher on the woman (painful birth) than man (toiling the field). And, wasn't it Paul who says
So, which scripture is metmom referring to?
