proverbs 27:7

who was the disciple that Jesus loved?

John the beloved

In the genealogy of Jesus Christ as reflected in the Books of Matthew and Luke.
Jesus was reputed to have descended from the line of King David through Joseph his father.

If Jesus was in fact begotten through immaculate conception, how come his birth-line is traced
through the man that was not acclaimed as his actual Dad?

Was Jesus actually begotten through immaculate conception or is Joseph the carpenter his true Dad ?

He was to be the son of an earthly father for the people to accept him, I mean that's why he came in form of man,, you don't expect him to be more ethereal than people of the earth I mean we might not have believed in him now
might not have taken him to be one of us so that genology actually make him an earthly being though concieved immaculately

The conception of Jesus Christ was achieved by Divine Intervention, through the Holy Spirit. His step-father, Joseph descended from the genealogy of David, likewise His mum, Mary. So, either way, Jesus Christ in His earthly life is a descendant of David.

Please note there is a difference between immaculate conception, which actually means the conception of Mary in her mother's womb and the Virginal Conception, which pertains to the Birth of Jesus Christ by a virgin.

It is debatable but the general consensus is that Mary's genealogy is the one traced in the book of Luke

AFTER JOB WAS TEMPTED BY THE DEVIL, GOD REWARDED HIM AND DOUBLED EVERYTHING HE HAD RIGHT?
BUT WHO KNOWS WHY HIS CHILDREN (AFTER THE TEMPTATION)
WERE NOT TWICE THE NUMBER THAT THEY WERE.

EVEN WHEN THE BIBLE SAID GOD DOUBLED ALL HE HAD.

This is another interesting question! Can't wait to get the answer.

The birth-line of the Son of God, Jesus Christ can both be traced through Mary and Joseph.  The genealogy of Jesus through Mary is what you find in Luke 3:23-38 and His genealogy through Joseph can be found in Matt.1:1-16

Mary's father Heli Lk.3:23 had no sons but had daughters and as the custom is for the husband of Mary to become the legal son of Heli since women are never reckoned in genealogies.  So Joseph took the place of Mary in this genealogy which is the natural line traced back to Adam.  Jesus' genealogy could also be traced through Joseph in Matt.1:16 which is the royal line this begins at the source of the dynasty and ends with Jesus Christ.

As it is clear that Joseph did not have sexual relations with Mary before Mary conceived, the immaculate conception took place in Luke 1:35 where the Holy Spirit 'overshadowed' Mary preventing Mary's sinful nature to pass unto that 'Holy thing' who was to be known as the Son of God.  Thus, the only begotten of the Father.

Luke 1:47 This verse disproves the theory of the immaculate conception or the total absence of original sin in Mary as taught in the RCC and referenced by Ndipe.  If God was her Saviour then she must have been a sinner in order to be saved.  It is another fallacy that Mary did not consumate her marriage after the birth of Jesus, as she had four sons and at least three daughters Luke 8:19;  Matt.13:55-56; Mark 6:3; Matt.1:25; Lk.2:7; Psalms 69:8-9; Matt. 12:46-50; Mk.3:31-35; Lk.8:19-21; Jn.2:12; 7:3-10; Acts.1:14; Gal. 1:19;

I had to go to this extent so as to disprove the false doctrines which was started by the pagans in the church in their attempt to raise the profile of Mary from a mere 'handmaid of the Lord' Lk.1:38 to that of mother of God and to invest her with divine powers as a goddess.  Hence, preparing the way for identifying her as the goddess of paganism, who is supposed to be the mother of a divine son, and who is yet a virgin.  Such as Isis, the mother of Horus who is depicted to be always with a son in her arms.  It is no surprise that the adherents from the other religion have the misconception that Christians believe in God the Father, the Mother and the Son as trinity.

God gave him the same amount of children but doubled his possession, this affirms the value of life to objects of wealth.

"And the Sons of God laid with the Daughters of men which bore them Children
These became men who did great exploits in their time"

Who were these Sons of God?

Angels

WRong!

Oladeegbu, thanks for the information/explanation on the Genealogy of Jesus Christ, traced through Joseph and Mary.

About the immaculate conception, Catholics, I think have always defined it to mean that Mary was conceived without sin. I knew that is not true, but your explanation about the Power of the Holy Spirit overshadowing Mary during her pregnancy to stop the transmission of her sins to His Only Begotten Son, I believe that to be true. God is Wonderful and Loving, that He took all these measures to save me a worthless sinner. Lets all adore Him with the full measure of our hearts, Amen.

@ swiftycool whats the answer ? In Gensis before the flood occured the sons of men that laid with daughters of men were they not from heaven?

I mean fallen angels.

The woman that named God After she encountered Him was Hagar, Abrahams concubine.
Moses did not enter the promise land in his life time but when Jesus was transfigured he actually entered the promised land.

Where in the New Testament is it written that Moses entered the promised land during the Transfiguration of Jesus Christ?

EVEN WHEN THE BIBLE SAID GOD DOUBLED ALL HE HAD.

There are two explanations that come to my mind right now depending on what 'everything he had' means;

If 'everything he had' means just his pocessions then the sons and daughters are not included. This is hinted at in this quote from Job 1:2-3
(2) Seven sons and three daughters were born to him. (3) His possessions also were 7,000 sheep, 3,000 camels, 500 yoke of oxen, 500 female donkeys, and very many servants; and that man was the greatest of all the men of the east
That verse seems to imply that by 'his pocessions' the bible referred to the animals he had, thus distinguishing that from his children. However the word 'also' in verse 3 undermines that argument.

The second argument, which i think is more plausible, is that God actually doubled the number of children he had. Consider it this way; animals are not spirit-beings, and when animals die, they cease to exist since they don't have spirits. Thus God literally had to double the number of those animal pocessions he has since the ones he had before had ceased to exist. However, according to the bible, with humans it is different. When we die, we do not cease to exist. Thus by God giving him 7 more sons and three more daughters, God actually doubled his number of children - because his other (so-called dead) sons and daughters were still existing in another realm and they are or were probably with God, the only difference is they are not with Job on earth.  So its still double. Get my drift? God's Word is sweet. Cheers .

@all,
Kweshun,
How did Methuselah die?

@davidylan,

Your answer to my kweshun was spot on, great job.

@Ndipe,

Thanks for the weblink on Elijah but I would rather stick to what is clearly written in the Truth book than to go by human's interpretation of the scriptures.

Ndipe:

" but your explanation about the Power of the Holy Spirit overshadowing Mary during her pregnancy to stop the transmission of her sins to His Only Begotten Son, I believe that to be true. God is Wonderful and Loving, that He took all these measures to save me a worthless sinner. Lets all adore Him with the full measure of our hearts, Amen."

I also thank you for the insight you raised in the highlighted sentence above it surely made me to be grateful for the part the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit's played in my redemption.

@all,
Kweshun,
How did Methuselah die?

The meaning of the name Methuselah in the semitic language is when he dies then it shall happen, that is, the flood.  This was a prophesy of Enoch regarding the flood that was to wipe out the earth in judgment.  So from that I can deduce that he died a natural death before the flood came.

Quite correct!, but better put as DEMONS. Do u have an idea of any
of such offsprings of these "Sons of God?"
You will be suprised to discover

@ricadelide
Thanks alot

@Ndipe
During the transfiguration, Moses and Elijah appeared to Jesus on a mountain in Isreal which is the promised land

Where is it in the Holy Bible that can back up your claim@palemoon?

@oladeegbu,
absolutely! If we calculate the age and chronology, we can know he died in the same year the flood was sent, so showing that the prophesy given in/by his name was accurate. So he probably died naturally just a few months before the flood. Cheers!

@electronic,
thanks!
