Well, if you would care to show me chapter and verse where he is shown to be the uncle, I’ll be happy to “see.” Your reply is just as easily applied to you — you may be seeing what you want to see; but I’d rather stick to scripture. Hoss

I have never believed the bible is that simple. I believe God wants us to have the joy of discovery as we spend our 72 years of flesh life studying his Word. He could have had the bible written lawyerly-like where everything is spelled out in detail to where we would never have to think for ourselves, but it seems to me the Word is written so that He gives us just enough information to where we can be steered toward the truth and eventually find the truth if we really care enough to know the truth. It separates the workers from those that want to be spoon-fed.

Joy of discovery is one thing. Joy of imagination is another.

I do believe the Bible, however. Again, if you can point to chapter and verse that indicates this relationship, I’ll “see” and believe. But, until then, it’s nothing but superstition as shown by Lee N. Field — he is using discernment.

He doesn’t “give us just enough” — he gives us all we need: Christ, and Him crucified.

I still cannot find J. of A.’s lineage, so....
