You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink it. Your free will- will override any evidence that people give you. I was debating Amoeba the person who started this thread- they haven't even showed up. This all seems futile to me because they haven't showed up yet, but I'm always glad to present the evidence and facts no matter what. I don't discuss these things normally with those who have already made up their mind -its a waste of my time and theirs.
So it's a post and run like most threads you make...
Other than Amoeba who started this thread and others who haven't made up their mind already-I'm not interested in discussing this subject anymore as you get myths mixed up with fact and think fables are fact.
Fables and myths like the six day creation... gotcha.
Oh, that Joseph -trying to be clever CoderHead. So, because Jesus wasn't conceived by Joseph and Mary in the physical sense so he doesn't have a lineage? God doesn't bow to natural laws but you can't say his lineage doesn't exist because he was conceived by virgin birth. Good try.
He sure doesn't have a lineage from Joseph.

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.

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.
