Deeper Waters Forum Guidelines

Notice – The ministries featured in this section of TheologyWeb are guests of this site and in some cases not bargaining for the rough and tumble world of debate forums, though sometimes they are. Additionally, this area is frequented and highlighted for guests who also very often are not acclimated to debate fora. As such, the rules of conduct here will be more strict than in the general forum. This will be something within the discretion of the Moderators and the Ministry Representative, but we simply ask that you conduct yourselves in a manner considerate of the fact that these ministries are our invited guests. You can always feel free to start a related thread in general forum without such extra restrictions. Thank you.

Deeper Waters is founded on the belief that the Christian community has long been in the shallow end of Christianity while there are treasures of the deep waiting to be discovered. Too many in the shallow end are not prepared when they go out beyond those waters and are quickly devoured by sharks. We wish to aid Christians to equip them to navigate the deeper waters of the ocean of truth and come up with treasure in the end.

We also wish to give special aid to those often neglected, that is, the disabled community. This is especially so since our founders are both on the autism spectrum and have a special desire to reach those on that spectrum. While they are a special emphasis, we seek to help others with any disability realize that God can use them and that they are as the Psalmist says, fearfully and wonderfully made.

    Again Jeremiah 22:30 does not refute the fact Jesus was not a Jew. As stated in previous post Jesus was adopted by Joseph legally not biologically so the curse does not effect him at all. In fact Haggai 2:23 speaks of Zerubbabel who was his grandson and the rabbis speak of his repentance

    Sanhedrin 37b-38a

    R. Johanan said: "Exile atones for everything, for it is written, Thus saith the Lord, 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. Whereas after he [the king] was exiled, it is written, And the sons of Jechoniah, -- the same is Assir -- Shealtiel his son etc.(1) [He was called] Assir, because his mother conceived him in prison. Shealtiel, because God did not plant him in the way that others are planted. We know by tradition that a woman cannot conceive in a standing position. [yet she] did conceive standing. Another interpretation: Shealtiel, because God obtained [of the Heavenly court] absolution from His oath."(2)

    Thanks. But you missed my point here. According to Jer. 22:30, none of sons of Coniah sons will sit on the throne of David. But Jesus was from Coniah according Matthew 1:11.

      "by their fathers' houses" by itself does not imply lineage can never be traced through the mother.

        Really? So by fathers' houses can mean by mothers' houses?

          The passage you cited only says that they registered themselves by their father's houses, it doesn't say that lineage could never be traced through the mother's house. And we know for a fact that lineage can be traced through the mother in specific circumstances, because the book of Numbers specifically states:

          Scripture Verse: Numbers 27:1-11 ESV


          Then drew near the daughters of Zelophehad the son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, from the clans of Manasseh the son of Joseph. The names of his daughters were: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. 2 And they stood before Moses and before Eleazar the priest and before the chiefs and all the congregation, at the entrance of the tent of meeting, saying, 3 “Our father died in the wilderness. He was not among the company of those who gathered themselves together against the Lord in the company of Korah, but died for his own sin. And he had no sons. 4 Why should the name of our father be taken away from his clan because he had no son? Give to us a possession among our father's brothers.

          5 Moses brought their case before the Lord. 6 And the Lord said to Moses, 7 “The daughters of Zelophehad are right. You shall give them possession of an inheritance among their father's brothers and transfer the inheritance of their father to them. 8 And you shall speak to the people of Israel, saying, ‘If a man dies and has no son, then you shall transfer his inheritance to his daughter. 9 And if he has no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers. 10 And if he has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his father's brothers. 11 And if his father has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to the nearest kinsman of his clan, and he shall possess it. And it shall be for the people of Israel a statute and rule, as the Lord commanded Moses.’”

            You do realize some prophecies are conditional? or are you stupid and just being deceptive. You have already been caught lying saying its impossible to Jewish from the side of the mother in accordance with Leviticus 24:10. So you were called out on that. Btw when you going to answer Sparko's question? you completely evaded that.

              According to Matthew 1:11, Joseph was a descendant of King Jeconiah, who will not have a descendant “sitting on the throne of David and ruling any more in Judah” (Jeremiah 22:30). Hence, Joseph’s genealogy disqualifies Jesus as the Messiah.

                Thanks for sharing such valuable information. How is Mary traced to David?

                  Prophecy of scripture is inspired of God. All scripture inspired of God is useful for teaching, for reproof, for training in righteousness.
                  Matthew's genealogy may (perhaps) have been correct in the original writing - the copies that we have provide a demonstrably erroneous descendancy - but not in the way that you claim.
                  Moreover - as you yourself have rightly pointed out - Jesus was not Joseph's biological descendant. So Joseph's descendancy from Jeconiah is wholly irrelevant anyway.

                    Um you realize that in Islam, Jesus is the Messiah, right? And the Messiah has to be a descendant of David, so Islam believes that Jesus is the descendant of David. And Islam believes in the virgin birth, so Joseph is not Jesus' father in Islam either.

                    • I affirm the virgin birth!

                      Comment


                      • The Virgin Birth also answers the reverse of the curse. Jesus was not literally born of Jeconiah seed. Since Jesus was born of a women (Galatians 4:4; Isaiah 7:14), and without sin (2nd Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 4:15; 1st Peter 2:22; 1st John 3:5). The curse does not effect him.

                          However, Matthew in 1:16 traces Jesus to David namely through Joseph. But the reality is that Joseph was not the biological father of Jesus because Jesus was born miraculously without father; therefore, Jesus cannot be traced to David as claimed by Matthew 1:1.

                          The above referred to verses are as follows;

                          Matthew 1:1 New Living Translation (NLT)
                          The Ancestors of Jesus the Messiah
                          1 This is a record of the ancestors of Jesus the Messiah, a descendant of David and of Abraham:

                          Matthew 1:16 New Living Translation (NLT)
                          16 Jacob was the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary.
                          Mary gave birth to Jesus, who is called the Messiah.

                            Coniah was one of the ancestors of Jesus according to Matthew 1:11. And God said in Jer. 22:30 that this Coniah will not sit on the throne of David. So once Jesus sits on the throne of David, the words of God in Jer. 22:30 will be conflicted.

                            Matthew 1:11 New King James Version (NKJV)
                            11 Josiah begot [a]Jeconiah and his brothers about the time they were carried away to Babylon.

                            30 Thus says the Lord:
                            ‘Write this man down as childless,
                            A man who shall not prosper in his days;
                            For none of his descendants shall prosper,
                            Sitting on the throne of David,
                            And ruling anymore in Judah.’ ”

                              • Your own Quran connects Jesus to David and Mary:

                                Cursed were those who disbelieved among the Children of Israel by the tongue of David and of Jesus, the son of Mary. That was because they disobeyed and [habitually] transgressed.-Surah 5:78
