Matthew Chapter 1 Discussion Page 12

Friends, by God's Grace, and for His Glorification alone I share an insight.

In genetics both parents provide DNA,but the BLOOD only comes from the FATHER.

14 generations all.

Matthew was not a Jew, so he would not have understood as the other listed genealogies go through the other line to Mary, although ironically, Matthrwwas a physician.

God the Father, and through His Son Yeshua , the Word made flesh.

Immaculate.

Worthy to be Praised!

My honor & privilege to quicken you all in HIM!

Yeshua means Jesus. (I repeated so many times because I did not think they had accepted my comment.FYI.)

Who is Michael Rood and who is a descendant of Jesse? Do you mean Jesus?

Type in "Lineage of David to Yeshua", and you should find it. On youtube. Alison

Michael Rood is on youtube and can be found under Lineage of David to Yeshua. I typed in Michael Rood Jesus David. God bless you. Alison

Michael Rood explains this in Rood Awakening on tv. He is a descendant from Jesse as I recall. Rood explains it in detail.

I've always wondered why I never heard anyone else mention this:

All, including the Bible itself, say that Jesus was a direct descendant of David; however, Joseph was the direct descendant of David and Jesus was and is the Son of God (due to the Holy Spirit).

Therefore, one would have to consider Joseph to be but the stepfather of Jesus. And that, of course, would mean that Jesus was not the direct descendant of David.

I love my Jesus, and I love my Bibles. But something is not correct, here.

Jacob would be the grandfather as we know it

Matthew 1: 16 says Jacob is the father of Joseph, not Jesus. Matthew 1:20 tells us that Joseph comes from the generation of David.

Hello Onnye. Go back and read it again but slowly. Mat.1: 16 states that Jacob begat Joseph, meaning Jacob is Joseph's dad and that Joseph is the husband of Mary, who gave birth to Christ ( proof of His humanity). Mat.1:20 states Joseph thou son of David to show Joseph's lineage to the house of David which is the connection to Jesus being the messiah from the house of David. Remember Matthew speaks of the lineage of Jesus which proves that He, Jesus, is of the house of David. I hope this helps.

I too find the genealogy of Jesus confusing. Matt 1:16 says Jacob is the father of Jesus but 1:20 says Joseph son of David. Which is father of Joseph Jacob or David?

Mickey, I agree. I hope I didn't give the impression that I have been born again but still drink. I quit drinking back in 1993. I have friends who drink and I've even been told by them that it's okay to have a drink every now and then. I guess every now and then to them would be considered moderation. I don't believe the Lord says it's okay to drink alcohol, even in moderation. Now I'm not telling any believer that they shouldn't drink. That's between them and the Lord. But if a believer wants to know if it's okay or not okay to consume alcohol, the question should be what is the Lord leading them to do Is He leading them to drink If not, then maybe that's their answer.

I was looking for a verse today, Easter, for study and positive inspiration. My worst fear was realized when the verse you provided was spoken by a God rejector and hypocrite - Eliphaz - accusing Job.

I do love this app and use it almost daily!

Jesse: I think the key word is MODERATION. If that is difficult then try abstaining. I know without a doubt that God delivers people from booze and drugs. He did for me. The only problem is telling people you've been born again with a beer in your hand. There are scriptures that say your freedom from law may hurt someone else who isn't as secure about salvation. You have a witness to protect. Your changed life is what other people are checking out. After I got saved I started going to church. My party friends came to take me out but I'd say hey why don't you come to church with me Sunday! They stop coming around. I was sad but God gave me all new friends :D I love Jesus huge.

Adam, I agree that it is a sin to get drunk because we're to be sober-minded. ( 1 Peter 4:7, 2 Timothy 4:5).These people weren't drinking moderately because they were already drunk. If it is a sin to be drunk, why would Jesus give them more wine if they were already drunk They bring out good wine first, and after everybody has been drinking for a few days, if they run out of the good wine, they bring out the cheap stuff. Nobody knows the difference because they are pretty intoxicated by then! They ran out, and were given 120 to 180 gallons more. If they're already drunk, and are given another 180 gallons of wine, how do you conclude that since Jesus did this, it's okay to drink moderately

Hello, Jesus's first miracle was turning water into alcoholic wine which was at a party, as confirmed by this verse: John 2:10. Since Jesus did this I do not believe it is a sin to drink moderately. However, it is a sin to get drunk. It's also a sin to lead others into temptation or to stumble, for example, a recovering alcoholic is with you and you order a drink. 1 Corinthians 8:9-13

I would like share my thoughts on whether or not a Christian should drink alcohol. When I learned the literal definition of the word faith meant persuasion, it gave me a whole new look on things. I used to drink alcohol, even as a believer. You see, as believers, we live by faith, or more literally from out of faith, as a source. Romans Chapter 14 says that that which is not of faith is sin. When I know that faith means persuasion, I come to realize that anything I do, which I am not being persuaded by God's Spirit to do, it is sin. I think of faith as the presence and activity of God's Spirit in a believers life. What is He persuading me to do Is He persuading me to take that drink

There are Scripture references to this which are general warnings. The first one we cite is: Ephesians 5:18 "Be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit". Apostle Paul warns of high consumption of alcohol which leads to loss of self control & sin, but rather to be filled (drunk) with God's Spirit. A believer filled with the Holy Spirit is truly a joy to be near rather than one who is inebriated. Other references: Luke 21:34, Romans 13:13, 1 Corinthians 5:11, 6:10, Ephesians 5:18, Genesis 9:21, 19:30-36, Proverbs 20:1, 23:20,30,31, are some for you to look at. So, alcohol is not prohibited per se , but warnings are given which should alert us to its use/results.

Here are the scriptures on strong drink you asked for: (some abbreviations) Eph. 5:18, Proverbs 20:1 & 23:29-35 , Galatians 5:21, 1Corinthians 6:10, 1 Thess. 5:7, Romans 12:12, 14:21, Isaiah 5:11, Psalm 104:15,
1 Peter 2:11-12
I know it's ok to eat meat but when it becomes gluttony, it's not a good witness. Write these in pencil back of your Bible

Is it actually forbidden by scripture not for christians to drink. alcohol?

you may pls help with scripture references.

What are the seven spirits of god

Actually in Isaiah chapter 14:12-16, satan says I WILL 5 times!

God is not destroying people's lives. One of satans other names is: DESTROYER. And he is the ACCUSER of the brethern. Revelation 12:10, Job 1:6,12 and Zechariah 3:1

Part of our problem is that we do not trust God. We think he does all the painful things. Like why is he allowing satan to get near us? Hear that accusatory question? Or, why doesn't Jesus just heal everybody? Why does bad things happen to good people?
There is the WILL of God. God gave free will to mankind in the garden of Eden. Satan has a will too. He's not going to do anything good with it. Read Job 1. He's defeated. Intercede for loved ones.

Re Mat 1:17....the genealogy...start with Abraham as 1, Isaac 2, etc, and since there were 3 batches of 14, that would make Jesus the 42nd...but continue with the count suggested above...and you will find that Jesus is 41!.....?
So there is a missing generation?
Any thoughts on this?
Who is the missing generator?
I have an answer that satisfies me....but what say you?

Neil, in Canada

Verse 2 and 3 Judas should read JUDAH! Jesus is the Lion of the tribe of JUDAH!

They wasn't intimate

Amen! No other name is above His name. Through Jesus we have hope of eternal life in heaven.

He is Joseph?s son, because Joseph is from David?s descent.

why not just google who was Mary's Father?

After all the begats, who begat Mary? Just curious.

Christmas is a Story of a Love that would not depart sent from God The Father from His very Heart Even knowing the pain He would bear His Son was sent to share The suffering of Mankind to leave fear and death behind The Joy that we behold is the answer from a Loving Heart
Reminding us anew God will see us through No one day can express His Love so freely given so daily we must choose the Gift we cannot lose Remember in Unity we share a Hope beyond Compare Sent to Set us Free and give us Liberty
The Gift of God has Come so that in His Son
we all are One We seek each Christmas to know a Love that wont let us go and to show far and wide the Love in which Jesus resides a Love we cant hide.
