Now that I think about it, this would also have the effect of removing any possibility of Jesus literally being from the line of David. If Joseph is not his bio-dad, and Mary is not his bio-mom, then how can he be said to have any claim to the throne of David?

See what I posted about Melchisedec(sp) from Hebrews and his not having mother, father, beginning of days nor end of life.

Yes, I saw that. Did you see my response? You cannot assume that, just because scripture doesn't explicitly list a person's parentage or vital statistics, they therefore have no human parents and/or are immortal.

Case in point. Nowhere in the gospels do you find mention of Pontius Pilate's parents. Can I therefore assume that he had no mother or father?
