I was discussing the sin nature coming through the man. That transcends nationality.
Try to stay on topic.
Where’s the Scripture verse that says the sin nature comes through the woman?

Now, as cyc correctly pointed out, Jesus was adopted by Joseph, hence his Jewishness was adopted since His Father was not Jewish, but His mother was.
Your point about sin nature descending through the males not the female line -- this has a problem.
Sin is not passed on through "flesh". Adam we agree was made, "flesh" without sin. Sin nature came about when he "sinned" i.e. performed a sinful ACTION. No genetic changes happened in Genesis 3. Sin nature is not "fleshy" -- it's not just that Adam's body, genetics was given the sin-nature, we humans are more than just water and flesh. Similarly, even demons are sinners, but they have no "flesh"
