COLUMN ONE IS THE OLD TESTAMENT LINAGE LEADING BACK TO DAVID (AND SOLOMON). COMPARE IT TO THE TWO VERSIONS OF THE CHRISTIAN’S “WORD OF GOD”.
Both Christian linages end with Joseph … the step father??? The father of Jesus was God. I guess God committed adultery since Mary was married at the time of conception. And there is no indication that Joseph adopted Jesus. Jewish tribal affiliations are based on the birth father and not through adoption. This is demonstrated by the Cohen Priest’s traditions.
How can Jesus have two completely different lineages in the New Testament, the “Word of God?” And why two completely different linage from the linage in the Old Testament?
Matthew includes four women in his reciting of the genealogy of Jesus: Tamar, Rachab, Ruth and “the wife of Uriah”. Genealogies in the Bible are exclusively based upon the male lineage.
After David, the “Word of God” has Luke’s rendition and Matthew’s rendition with only three names that are the same!
In the “Word of God” Luke’s genealogy is FIFTEEN GENERATIONS LONGER than Matthew’s genealogy!!!!!
Both genealogies are false and contain made up fictitious names. A number of the names are not patriarchs but older gods!
Genealogy Score = Matthew 27, Luke 43
MARY
The genealogy in Matthew is Jesus’, so say the fable believers, but the genealogy in Luke is Mary’s. The fact that Luke’s genealogy never mentions Mary and explicitly says that it is Jesus’, doesn’t concern them.
In addition, Luke 1:36 says that Mary is a cousin of Elizabeth, who is a descendant of Levi (Luke 1:5). So Luke’s genealogy couldn’t be Mary’s since it descends from Judah (Luke 3:33) not Levi.
36 Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be unable to conceive is in her sixth month. Luke 1:36
5 In the time of Herod king of Judea there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the priestly division of Abijah; his wife Elizabeth was also a descendant of Aaron. Luke 1:5
33 the son of Amminadab, the son of Ram, the son of Hezron, the son of Perez, the son of Judah, Luke 3:33
THE FATHER OF JESUS WAS – THE HOLY GHOST- Not GOD the Father
8 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. Matthew 1:18
**God must have done his ADULTEROUS deed after the wedding (“Mary was espoused to Joseph”) but (“before they came together”) before the wedding night!!!**
‘you shall not commit adultery, Mark 10:19, Luke 18:20, Romans 13:9
AS WRITTEN
Here is the genealogy from the gospel of Matthew: (Matthew starts with David and ends with Jesus.)
David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias;
And Solomon begat Roboam;
and Roboam begat Abia;
and Abia begat Asa;
And Asa begat Josaphat;
and Josaphat begat Joram;
and Joram begat Ozias;
And Ozias begat Joatham;
and Joatham begat Achaz;
and Achaz begat Ezekias;
And Ezekias begat Manasses;
and Manasses begat Amon;
and Amon begat Josias;
And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel;
and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;
And Zorobabel begat Abiud;
and Abiud begat Eliakim;
and Eliakim begat Azor;
And Azor begat Sadoc;
and Sadoc begat Achim;
and Achim begat Eliud;
And Eliud begat Eleazar;
and Eleazar begat Matthan;
and Matthan begat Jacob;
And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. Matthew 1:6-16
And here is the (supposedly same, but actually completely different) genealogy from Luke. (Luke starts with Jesus and goes back to David.)
And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph,
which was the son of Heli,
Which was the son of Matthat,
which was the son of Levi,
which was the son of Melchi,
which was the son of Janna,
which was the son of Joseph,
Which was the son of Mattathias,
which was the son of Amos,
which was the son of Naum,
which was the son of Esli,
which was the son of Nagge,
Which was the son of Maath,
which was the son of Mattathias,
which was the son of Semei,
which was the son of Joseph,
which was the son of Juda,
Which was the son of Joanna,
which was the son of Rhesa,
which was the son of Zorobabel,
which was the son of Salathiel,
which was the son of Neri,
Which was the son of Melchi,
which was the son of Addi,
which was the son of Cosam,
which was the son of Elmodam,
which was the son of Er,
Which was the son of Jose,
which was the son of Eliezer,
which was the son of Jorim,
which was the son of Matthat,
which was the son of Levi,
Which was the son of Simeon,
which was the son of Juda,
which was the son of Joseph,
which was the son of Jonan,
which was the son of Eliakim,
Which was the son of Melea,
which was the son of Menan,
which was the son of Mattatha,
which was the son of Nathan,
which was the son of David. Luke 3:23-31
MESSIAH LINAGE MUST COME FROM DAVID
Column Two and Three are the Christian linage tracings of Jesus back to David. This shows that the New Testament recognizes that it must establish that Jesus, if portrayed as the Messiah, came from the linage of David as was clearly stated in the Old Testament; Jeremiah 33:17-20 , and 1 Chronicles 17:11-12
AND … MESSIAH LINAGE MUST COME FROM SOLOMON
The Messiah seed must come from Solomon — Samuel 7:12-16 … and Psalms 89:29-38… and 1 Chronicles 17:11-14, 22:9-10, 28:6-7
In God’s “Word of God,” Luke 3:31 lists Joseph as a descendant of David through Nathan, Solomon’s brother, and not through Solomon. God clearly didn’t know that this disqualifies Jesus as the Messiah since the Messiah must come through Solomon.
THE FATHER OF JOSEPH … WAS IT JACOB OR HELI???
Again God couldn’t get his genealogy straight;
And Jacob begat Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus. Matt. 1:16.
Being the son of Joseph which was the son of Heli. Luke 3:23.
GET THE NUMBER OF GENERATIONS RIGHT
God in his Book of Matthew conveniently skipped descendants and he can’t count the generations he himself listed; 13 generations if you include Jechoniah (which is incorrect) and including Joseph (he is not in the linage according to the other verses) With those two excluded Matthew is only listing 11 generations. Luke is listing totally different descendants totaling 42 generations. God in his Book of Luke has 15 more generations than Matthew between David and Jesus.
ABRAHAM TO DAVID—-
17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations. Matthew 1:17
COUNT = THIRTEEN GENERATIONS, — NOT FOURTEEN,
Abraham was the father of Isaac,
Isaac the father of Jacob,
Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers,
Judah the father of Perez and Zerah, whose mother was Tamar,
Perez the father of Hezron,
Hezron the father of Ram,
Ram the father of Amminadab,
Amminadab the father of Nahshon,
Nahshon the father of Salmon,
Salmon the father of Boaz, whose mother was Rahab,
Boaz the father of Obed, whose mother was Ruth,
Obed the father of Jesse,
and Jesse the father of King David.
Matthew 1:2-6
[Only13 listed by Matthew]. (Matt. 1:2, 3, 4, 5, 6.)
God Can’t Count!
DAVID UNTIL BABYLON—-
David the king begat
Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias;
And Solomon begat Roboam;
and Roboam begat Abia;
and Abia begat Asa;
And Asa begat Josaphat;
and Josaphat begat Joram;
and Joram begat Ozias;
And Ozias begat Joatham;
and Joatham begat Achaz;
and Achaz begat Ezekias;
And Ezekias begat Manasses;
and Manasses begat Amon;
and Amon begat Josias;
And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
Matthew 1:6-16
There was fourteen in this segment.
BABYLON UNTIL CHRIST—-
And from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations. (Matt. 1:17.)
GOD CAN’T COUNT!
COUNT = THIRTEEN GENERATIONS, — NOT FOURTEEN,
And after they were brought to Babylon,
Jechonias begat Salathiel (1)
and Salathiel begat Zorobabel (2);
And Zorobabel begat Abiud (3);
and Abiud begat Eliakim (4);
and Eliakim begat Azor (5);
And Azor begat Sadoc (6);
and Sadoc begat Achim (7);
and Achim begat Eliud (8);
And Eliud begat Eleazar (9);
and Eleazar begat Matthan (10);
and Matthan begat Jacob (11);
And Jacob begat Joseph (12) the husband of Mary,
of whom was born Jesus (13), who is called Christ. Matthew 1:12-17
GOD CAN’T COUNT, PERIOD.
– Can you trust a God that can’t count in his “word of God”??? And, can you trust a couple of guys inspired by God that don’t agree on the linage of Jesus by 15 generations (Luke’s 42 generations, minus Matthew’s 27, equals 15 generations apart — way way apart).
JESUS NOT THE MESSIAH
If Jesus was born of a virgin and the father of Jesus was God then he is not a descendant from the linages of David and Solomon and thus he is NOT the Messiah.
As the “Word of God” said Joseph didn’t consummate the marriage and the Holy Ghost God was the father;
25 But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus. Matthew 1:25
35 The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. Luke 1:35
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. Matthew 1:18
If a Man was the father from the linage of David and Solomon; And if Jesus is a descendant of David, then his father is not God; thus he cannot be called the “Son of God.”
9 But you will have a son who will be a man of peace and rest, and I will give him rest from all his enemies on every side. His name will be Solomon, and I will grant Israel peace and quiet during his reign.
10 He is the one who will build a house for my Name. He will be my son, and I will be his father. And I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever. 1 Chronicles 22:9
WAS JESUS THE SON OF DAVID?
Mattthew shows Jesus in his genealogy as being the son of David. Was he?
YES.
He was the son and seed of David, the fruit of his loins his according to the flesh.
Therefore being a prophet [David], and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne. Acts 2:30
Of this man’s seed [David’s] hath God, according to his promise, raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus. Acts 13:23
Concerning his son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh. Romans 1:3
Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David. 2 Timothy 2:8
I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David. Revelation 22:16
NO.
He is not the son of David. (How could David call him “Lord” if he was his son?) Jesus denies being the Messiah.
Jesus Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The son of David. He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? If David then call him Lord, how is he his son? Matthew 22:45
And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David? For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool. David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son? Mark 12:35-37
JESUS NOT THE SON OF GOD
30 Therefore being a prophet [David], and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne “Christian’s Word” in Acts 2:30
23 Of this man’s seed [David’s] hath God, according to his promise, raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus. “Christian’s Word” in Acts 13:23
3 Concerning his son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh. “Christian’s Word” in Romans 1:3
8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David. 2 Timothy 2:8
16 For verily he [Jesus] took not on him the nature of angels, but he took on him the seed of Abraham. “Christian’s Word” in Hebrews 2:16
16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David. “Christian’s Word” in Revelation 22:16
NOT A VIRGIN – BUT A YOUNG WOMAN!
Christians distort their translations so it serves their idol worshiping fable story by producing another fraudulent translation;
…which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, 23 ‘Behold a virgin shall be with child… Matthew 1:22-23
What it really says in the Old Testament;
“Behold, the young woman is with child Isaiah 7:14
Almah in Hebrew means young woman.
And, at the end of that New Testament verse Matthew 1:23 the Christians translate it as
“…they shall call his name Emmanuel.”
The true translation in Isaiah is; (It can only be translated one way)
“she will call his name Emmanuel.”
According to the Christians “Word of God” they should be calling their savior by the name Emmanuel instead of Jesus.
A translator should translate what it says and not slant the translation to suit his purposes. I guess the translator forgot that Jesus was never called Emmanual anywhere in the New Testament. Isaiah was answering King Ahaz and the implication was that Isaiah was referring to his own wife.
A DISCIPLE OF JESUS DECLARED JESUS’ FATHER TO BE JOSEPH
Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. John 1:45
God in his “Word of God.” has disciple Philip declaring Jesus to be the Son of Joseph, not the Son of God.
JOSEPH WAS THE FATHER OF JESUS.
These verses claim that Jesus is son of David — “the seed of David”, “the fruit of his loins” “according to the flesh”. For this to be true, Jesus would have to have a real father (presumably Joseph).
Therefore being a prophet [David], and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne. Acts 2:30
Of this man’s seed [David’s] hath God, according to his promise, raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus. Acts 13:23
Concerning his son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh. Romans 1:3
Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David. 2 Timothy 2:8
For verily he [Jesus] took not on him the nature of angels, but he took on him the seed of Abraham. Hebrews 2:16
I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David. Revelation 22:16
JOSEPH WAS NOT THE FATHER OF JESUS.
The Holy Ghost was the father of Jesus. He came upon the virgin Mary and impregnated her.
When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. Matthew 1:18
And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS. Matthew 1:25
And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring for a son, and shalt call his name Jesus …. Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be seeing I know not a man. And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee. Luke 1:31-35
THE HOLY GHOST COMMITTED ADULTERY !!!
ADOPTION???
According to Christian’s “Word of God”, Joseph himself was not a legitimate heir to the throne. Even if lineage could be passed on through an adoption (can’t), Jesus could not be the Messiah if he was a descendant of Joseph. Joseph, himself, was a descendant of a family whose linage is specifically stated to be disqualified from the Messiah linage.
Matthew 1:11 shows that Joseph was descended from Jechoniah or Coniah for short, a former king who was very wicked and cursed by God. In Jeremiah 22, we see that Jechoniah’s descendants are absolutely disqualified as heirs to the throne Numbers 1:18-44, 34:14, Leviticus 24:10 Therefore, anyone descended from Joseph was also disqualified as a candidate to the throne of David.
30 Write ye this man childless, a man that shall not prosper in his days: for no man of his seed shall prosper, sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in Judah. Jeremiah 22:30
In biblical tradition concerning the Kohanim (Priests), an adopted son cannot become a Kohen. Also a son adopted by a member of the royal line can never become heir to the throne. Thus the Messiah must be an actual biological member of the royal line.
16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. Matthew 1:16
The “whom” word in the above verse, Christians say, God was not referring to Joseph but refers to Mary; God wrote Joseph instead of Mary. God makes mistakes too. That way the Christians can keep up their idol worshiping of the Blessed Holy “Virgin” Mary”, and also keep up their idol worshiping of Jesus as the son of God (Jesus thus being God in the flesh).
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. Mathew 1:18
GOD’S BOOK OF LUKE – THE GENEALOGY LISTS NATHAN INSTEAD OF KING SOLOMON
9 Behold, a son shall be born to you, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies around; for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quiet to Israel in his days.
10 He shall build a house for my name; and he shall be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever. I Chronicles 22:9-10
18 I will establish your royal throne, as I covenanted with David your father when I said, ‘You shall never fail to have a successor to rule over Israel. II Chronicles 7:18
12 When your days are complete and you lie down with your fathers, I will raise up your descendant after you, who will come forth from you, and I will establish his kingdom.
13 He shall build a house for My name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.
These verses are referring to King Solomon. The linage of the throne must be traced back to King Solomon. Nathan was another one of David’s sons but not a qualified linage. I guess God in writing his “Word of God” forgot what is written in I Chronicles 22:9-10 … or II Chronicles 7:18 … or Samuel 7:12-13.
GOD CAN’T GET THE OLD TESTAMENT GENERATIONS RIGHT EITHER
God’s Book of Matthew claims “Uzziah begat Joatham.”
In the Old Testament, 1 Chron 3:11-12, it lists three generations between Uzziah and Jotham (Joash, Amaziah, and Azariah). God’s Book of Matthew omits all three generations.
11 Jehoram his son, Ahaziah his son, Joash his son,
12 Amaziah his son, Azariah his son, Jotham his son, 1 Chr 3:11-12
9 Uzziah the father of Jotham, Jotham the father of Ahaz, Ahaz the father of Hezekiah, Matthew 1:9
DID GOD IN HIS BOOK OF LUKE INSERT SOMEONE INTO A FAMILY TREE???
And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years and begat Salah. (Gen. 11:12.)
YES, God’s word in Luke inserted Cainan into the linage.
Which was the son of Sala, which was the son of Cainan, which was the son of Arphaxad. (Luke 3:35, 36.)
PAUL KNEW THEIR GENEALOGIES WERE B.S.
But avoid foolish disputes, genealogies, contentions and strivings about the law, for they are unprofitable and useless. Titus 3:3
… not head to fables and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than Godly edification which is in faith. I Timothy 1:4
God in his “Word of God” apparently wants you to forget about his mistakes in genealogies.
JESUS OF ROYAL DESCENT
Jesus was not the only Messiah who was claimed to be of royal descent.
Crishna, the Hindoo Saviour, he was of royal descent, although born in a state the most abject and humiliating. Thomas Maurice says of him: “Crishna, in the male line, was of royal descent, being of the Yadava line, the oldest and noblest of India; and nephew, by his mother’s side, to the reigning sovereign; but, though royally descended, he was actually born in a state the most abject and humiliating; and, though not in a stable, yet in a dungeon.”
Buddha was of royal descent, having descended from the house of Sakya, the most illustrious of the caste of Brahmans, which reigned in India over the powerful empire of Mogadha, in the Southern Bahr. [163:3] R. Spence Hardy says, in his “Manual of Buddhism:”
“The ancestry of Gotama Buddha is traced from his father, Sodhódana, through various individuals and races, all of royal dignity, to Maha Sammata, the first monarch of the world. Several of the names, and some of the events, are met with in the Puranas of the Brahmins, but it is not possible to reconcile one order of statement with the other; and it would appear that the Buddhist historians have introduced races, and invented names, that they may invest their venerated sage with all the honors of heraldry, in addition to the attributes of divinity.”
How remarkably these words compare with what we have just seen concerning the genealogies of Jesus!
JESUS DECLARES HE IS NOT ROYALTY
54 Jesus replied, “If I glorify myself, my glory means nothing. My Father, whom you claim as your God, is the one who glorifies me. Matthew, 8:54
CRISHNA
Crishna, the Hindoo Saviour, he was of royal descent, although born in a state the most abject and humiliating. Thomas Maurice says of him:
“Crishna, in the male line, was of royal descent, being of the Yadava line, the oldest and noblest of India; and nephew, by his mother’s side, to the reigning sovereign; but, though royally descended, he was actually born in a state the most abject and humiliating; and, though not in a stable, yet in a dungeon.”
BUDDHA
Buddha was of royal descent, having descended from the house of Sakya, the most illustrious of the caste of Brahmans, which reigned in India over the powerful empire of Mogadha, in the Southern Bahr. R. Spence Hardy says, in his “Manual of Buddhism:”
“The ancestry of Gotama Buddha is traced from his father, Sodhódana, through various individuals and races, all of royal dignity, to Maha Sammata, the first monarch of the world. Several of the names, and some of the events, are met with in the Puranas of the Brahmins, but it is not possible to reconcile one order of statement with the other; and it would appear that the Buddhist historians have introduced races, and invented names, that they may invest their venerated sage with all the honors of heraldry, in addition to the attributes of divinity.”
RAMA
Rama, another Indian avatar—the seventh incarnation of Vishnu—was also of royal descent.
FO-HI
Fo-hi; or Fuh-he, the virgin-born “Son of Heaven,” was of royal descent. He belonged to the oldest family of monarchs who ruled in China.
CONFUCIUS
Confucius was of royal descent. His pedigree is traced back in a summary manner to the monarch Hoang-ty, who is said to have lived and ruled more than two thousand years before the time of Christ Jesus.
HORUS
Horus, the Egyptian virgin-born Saviour, was of royal descent, having descended from a line of kings. He had the title of “Royal Good Shepherd.”
HERCULES
Hercules, the Saviour, was of royal descent.
BACCHUS
Bacchus, although the Son of God, was of royal descent.
PERSEUS
Perseus, son of the virgin Danae, was of royal descent.
ÆSCULAPIUS
Æsculapius, the great performer of miracles, although a son of God, was notwithstanding of royal descent.
MANY MORE …
Many more such cases exist referring to the histories of the virgin-born gods and demi-gods spoken of.
From Colebrooke’s “Miscellaneous Essays,” clearly shows that this idea was pervasive:
“The last of the Jinas, Vardhamâna, was at first conceived by Devanandā, a Brahmānā. The conception was announced to her by a dream. Sekra, being apprised of his incarnation, prostrated himself and worshiped the future saint (who was in the womb of Devanandā); but reflecting that no great saint was ever born in an indigent or mendicant family, as that of a Brahmānā, Sekra commanded his chief attendant to remove the child from the womb of Devanandā to that of Trisala, wife of Siddhartha, a prince of the race of Jeswaca, of the Kasyapa family.”
