THANK YOU! not to mention the specific mention of both marys and josephs genealogies to prove it.
You actually prove my point

No, because the trace Jesus linage through Joseph, and we know Joseph was not His real father, therefore we need not attribute His linage through Mary either.

Didnt white people come from Europe?? Then it would stand to reason that Jesus was NOT white.

Everyone of us are descended from the children of Noah, we are blood family, then in Jesus Christ, we are eternalf family. God said it, I believe it, so that settles it. That last sentence is from a bumper sticker, and it kind of says how I feel I honestly believe that the color of skin or any other racial feature is simply a smoke screen to keep us from the faith. We are all the very same in the spirit, so while we are on this earth we should start acting accordingly. To quote the word, "I do not know what we will look like when Christ returns, but I do know that we will be like he." As far as Christ's physical aspect is, well he was most likely swarthy and easily given attributes of all races. All I know is, He is Lord and Savior, and all who believe Him are my family. God bless you and keep you close always, in Jesus Christ's name, amen.

i dont know abt that cuz if mary was his biological mum he would have been born in sin cuz mary was a sinner..God created everything that exist out of nothing was it too difficult for God to come in womens womb wid out using her egg and make her preggo
Well, what we must realize is that sin is passed from the father, not the mother.

So yes, Mary is His mother, after the flesh. And because He was born of a woman, He can and does identify with us completely. It is just that His Father is the Holy Spirit.

In Christ,

What about the messianic prophecies? That Jesus would be in the line of King David? Surely that would be a biblical reason?
are we talking about geneology? why do we discuss things of the Spirit in terms of the flesh?

Romans 9:7
nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, “In Isaac your seed shall be called.”

Galatians 3:16
Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as of many, but as of one, “And to your Seed,” who is Christ.

Galatians 3:29
And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Galatians 3:28
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.


so are you of the Seed of Christ and heirs according to the promise?

I was just pointing out that Jesus has a human genealogy and that it is scriptural. He was a man with relatives just like us. This doesn't take away from Him being God. It is just hard for us to understand. How could He be 100% man and 100% God? I don't know, but Jesus managed it. He was tempted like we are, however unlike us He never sinned.

And yes, I am of the Seed of Christ and heir according to the promise. And its not because of genealogy, but because of faith and the Love of Jesus.

No it does not, not even a little. This thread was started just to cause strife and arguments, which it has pretty much succeeded in doing.

Meh, I figure this is about as offensive as I can think up. (In keeping with the theme of the board).

Is God (Jesus) a White man?
yep he says he is intentionally being offensive.. I guess he succeeded.

why do we react in a manner the enemy wants us to react in instead of the manner God commanded us to respond in?

I don't want any one to take this as a critacism, but many threads which are started in hope and love become centers of contention.

Christ's human genealogy is EXTREMELY important.

we see His human genealogy (through David to Nathan to Mary) in Luke 3.

Luke 3
The Genealogy of Jesus Christ
23 Jesus, when he began his ministry, was about thirty years of age, being the son (as was supposed) of Joseph, the son of Heli, 24 the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Melchi, the son of Jannai, the son of Joseph, 25 the son of Mattathias, the son of Amos, the son of Nahum, the son of Esli, the son of Naggai, 26 the son of Maath, the son of Mattathias, the son of Semein, the son of Josech, the son of Joda, 27 the son of Joanan, the son of Rhesa, the son of Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, the son of Neri, 28 the son of Melchi, the son of Addi, the son of Cosam, the son of Elmadam, the son of Er, 29 the son of Joshua, the son of Eliezer, the son of Jorim, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, 30 the son of Simeon, the son of Judah, the son of Joseph, the son of Jonam, the son of Eliakim, 31 the son of Melea, the son of Menna, the son of Mattatha, the son of Nathan, the son of David, 32 the son of Jesse, the son of Obed, the son of Boaz, the son of Sala, the son of Nahshon, 33 the son of Amminadab, the son of Admin, the son of Arni, the son of Hezron, the son of Perez, the son of Judah, 34 the son of Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham, the son of Terah, the son of Nahor, 35 the son of Serug, the son of Reu, the son of Peleg, the son of Eber, the son of Shelah, 36 the son of Cainan, the son of Arphaxad, the son of Shem, the son of Noah, the son of Lamech, 37 the son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Mahalaleel, the son of Cainan, 38 the son of Enos, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God.

Yeah, aint that something, God created man, and then to save man, He became a man, died as a man, and was risen from the dead as the prototype of what we are to be in Him.
That is what Christ means,

that is traced through Joseph....

Is Joseph's Jesus real BIOLOGICAL dad?

it is about the spiritual seed, otherwise Mary would not have been a virgin because the genealogy is traced through JOSEPH not Mary.

does an adopted son make him less beloved or worthy of the promise?
