Why would you assume this? I would think that Jesus was Joseph's biological son. I wouldn't conclude that he was a bastard or that Mary was a prostitute.

I haven't made that claim. I have stated that he will be of the line of David, through Solomon.


Great, then do you accept that Jesus is the son of David? Matthew 1:1-16 & Luke 3:23-38

You asked for me to show how Jesus is the fruit of the patriarch David's body. Well, according to your own intrepretation of the Bible, He is. I'm just here to inform you that, in addition to haveing a few things wrong about your intrepretation, this Man Jesus is sitting on the throne of David right now.

Yeah, sure. But angelo's interpretation of history also voids the idea of the Virgin Birth.

He is asking us Christians to reconcile the two together. It is no problem to believe in the Virgin Birth. And it is no problem to believe Jesus is descended from David through Joseph. The "conflict," as he sees it is when both ideas are brought together.

Jesus may have been of the line of David through Jeconiah. I will make no claim as to the accuracy of the genealogies listed in the gospels.

If he is of the line of Jeconiah, then he is excluded from contention.

Such as?

this Man Jesus is sitting on the throne of David right now.

Really? Where is he?
