I hope I'm not opening a can of worms but....
I have a question about the lineage of Jeasus. Or maybe an explanation.
Abraham father of Isaac. etc. etc. father of, father of, until Joseph the husband of Mary.
It's all genetics up to Joseph but not the father of Jeasus. Jeasus considered Joseph to be his earthly father. How did the Jews reconcile Joseph being a step father and still part of Jeasus's lineage?
Wow, Moni, that was an eye full. I had to read your response a few times to understand. But it makes sense now, thank you. It's a small thing in the big picture.
