In Matthew it mentions Jesus lineage under legal terms through King David to Joseph; This is on the male side and the male gets the inheritance; this is how the culture was back then.
In Luke it mentions Jesus lineage through Mary's -where Jesus descended naturally through Nathan.
So, dismissing Jesus lineage because it wasn't natural on both sides is in great error.
I would visit christian research institute if you are sincere about understanding the Bible. You can google it. Its very informative. Its not the only source but its one of the most comprehensive ones on the internet.

In Matthew it mentions Jesus lineage under legal terms through King David to Joseph; This is on the male side and the male gets the inheritance; this is how the culture was back then.
According to the story Joseph wasn't his father so there is zero reason to use that lineage.
You might as well use king herods while your at it.

they told me if I voted for John McCain that I would get a President like Bush that would violate the airspace and sovereignty of an allied nation with a military force to assassinate a foreign national of another allied country and then their dead body would be dumped in the ocean. and they were right.
The theistic evolutionist is the casualty of a lie….
These days science is very friendly to the Christian. How can I say that you ask? First of all the Bible is not a science book but it is the foundation for a sound scientific viewpoint. If you look closely at the creation stories in secular science (Cosmology and Evolution) you find they hold no more water than cleverly designed fables.
About the age of the universe and the earth the bible is not clear. For myself I tend to be a young earth young universe advocate. But I must say that is my preference from the evidence in science and not a dogmatic statement in the bible (I refer to the gap in Genesis ch. 1 vs 1 and 2).
The Bible has always proved itself in archeology and creation constructs. The earth described as a globe in Isaiah, God starching out the heavens, each creature is after its own kind and so fourth.
It is a real problem for me as a Christian to see a fellow Christian hanging on the lies of evolution and a Big Bang. We as Christians don’t need a contrived story that does not hold the power of explanation or creation. Evolution gave up the idea of life from natural chemistry with the New Evolution synthesis and has been slipping ever since. The Big Bang is patchwork science and has failed the empirical evidence.
"The science to which I pinned my faith is bankrupt. Its counsels, which should have established the millennium, led, instead, directly to the suicide of Europe. I believed them once. In their name I helped to destroy the faith of millions of worshippers in the temples of a thousand creeds. And now they look at me and witness the great tragedy of an atheist who has lost his faith." (George Bernard Shaw,Too Good to Be True)
This thread has undergone a cleanup. If you find that a post of yours has been removed, then it was for one of the following reasons:
1. It was ad hominem or flaming. Flaming is against the rules everywhere in CF, and whether the OP intended it or not, this thread is in Creation/Evolution Formal Debates, where ad hominem posts are against the Formal Debating rules posted here.
2. It was off topic to the subject of whether or not Christianity and evolution are compatible.
3. It quoted or answered a post that had to be deleted for one of the other two reasons.
This thread is now re-opened. Please resume the discussion, keeping to the rules. Thank you.
