Icemoon SG I seems to have this impression Jesus was descended from David through either of his parents.
breytonhartge SG Through Joseph... read the bible... As to your first question in the title... hmmm not sure about Mary, but Joseph was if you follow it far back enough...
Icemoon SG Does not make sense for the fact: 1. Jewish lineage is traced through the mother. 2. Joseph had no blood relations whatsoever with Jesus.
Icemoon SG Edit: Point 1 might be wrong .. I anyhow hantum one. But Point 2 is a glaring mistake. Don't you all think so?
Icemoon SG This thread is as per topic. Then brey said Joseph was descendant of David. Then I said Jesus no blood relations with Joseph. Still KSM?
breytonhartge SG Wrong, Jewish lineage is traced through the father... Judaism the religion is traced through the mother.
breytonhartge SG He is still born into Joseph's house so technically He is of the lineage of David of the house of Judah.
Icemoon SG Then they should trace the lineage through Mama? And inherit her tribe/surname instead. It is surprising the Jews are a matriachal society when it is male-dominated in almost every aspects.
breytonhartge SG Initially it is the mothers role to teach the children about religion. That is just the way it has been set up. We can ask God the question later?
