The prophesied anointed one was to be born "of the fruit of his (david's) loins"
- Acts 2:30
Jesus to come from david's seed (semen)
- Romans 1:3
Jesus claims he is the root of david
- Revelation 22:16
And yet jesus was born of a virgin(no "seed" at all, or perhaps the myth is true and it was god's seed- still not david's)
- Matt 1:18
Jesus' genealogy in the new testament only relates to joseph who supposedly had nothing to do with the conception.
- Matt 1:1-16, Luke 3:23-38
Mary was related to elizabeth who was of the Aaronic line
- Luke 1:5, 36
NOTE:Aaron was of the Levi tribe, but david was of Judah.
This clearly shows that, with virgin birth, davidic descent is prevented.
Thus, he cannot fulfill both virgin birth and Davidic heritage needed to prove his claim according to Jewish prophecy.
Of course it's also interesting that Mathew and Luke's recounting of the lineage are so wildly different, though both come from david to joseph.
Hello! Am I the only one who has a problem with this?
- Luke 2:2,3-7
Jesus' birth was in the time of Herod- Matt 2:1
NOTE:
It's important to note that the two held different stations, but the terms they served never coincided or overlapped.
Jesus is taken to the Jerusalem temple eight days after he is born; the family then goes up to Nazareth.
- Luke 2:21-39
Right after jesus' birth, the family flees to Egypt and stays there until Herod dies.
Then, even upon returning, they avoid Judea and go right to Nazareth.- Matt 2:14-23
False start
Jesus began ministry after john the baptist is imprisoned
- Mark 1:14,15,17
But of course, jesus began his ministry whilst john was still free- John 1:28-29, 3:25-30
