matthew chapter 01:
List of Ancestors. Starting at Ab who begat one son by a Gentile. And his second son was Isaac. The father likely a king who Ab whored his wife to. Not uncommon. It was some fresh blood in the genes and kings paid well for young pretty wives.
Instead of killing Isaac, Ab gave him all, even though Ab knew it was not his son. Then came Esau and Jacob. Again the second son takes the inheritance and blessings. Jacob had 2 wives, 2 maids and 12 sons and daughters were ignored.
But who begat who does not matter until we get to the great killer king David. Great because he murdered Saul's family and ten's of thousands of Gentiles.
He had a son Solomon who was a bit of an idiot but was happy sitting on the plunder of the generations of pillagers before him.
Then eventually the Israelites were taken as slaves to Babylon.
And one of the millions of descendents of Ab, straight, almost straight down one line of almost always the first son, quite often from an Israelite mother, not always, even Cain took a wife from another land.
Was called Jacob, who had a son Joseph, who was engaged to, payed the bride price for beautiful, believed to be virgin, Mary.
Who was pregnant.
From Ab to Jesus was 42 generations. Which ain't true. Especially without condoms. Less than 1,000 years.
Now Mary was a Jew, like her husband; which makes Mary being pregnant a paradox. Either she is a slut, whore or sperm reached her egg some other way. There are other ways.
And there are countless possibilities. The most likely is, she had sex. Probably with Joseph. Possibly, and if you have read The Torah, this won't surprise you.
Herod, the King, was the father of Jesus.
This might be reason enough not to have Mary put away. For she was, in Jewish tradition, a bloody disgrace.
So Joseph didn't have sex with her until after Jesus was born.
And when Jesus was born, they called him Jesus, not such an uncommon name for a Jewish boy.
"Jesus said that the world will insult, hate, gossip/lie about, mutilate, torture, rape, and kill [all Christians] for His sake."

But seriously though, I'm not going to try to stop you from doing this, because it only strengthens my faith. Jesus said that the world will insult, hate, gossip/lie about, mutilate, torture, rape, and kill you for His sake. So when I see you insulting Jesus, I only shake my head and smile. Like this :D

well, my friend, i don't think i am insulting jesus. i think making a religion of his rejection of law and belief is an insult.
jesus said have the faith of a mustard seed. and a mustard seed has no faith.
so there it is.

LOL @ bad logic, unfunny jokes, and silly insults.
Also, I don't mean to be rude, but if you're going to post videos of yourself reading out of a book on the internet for everyone to see, try try not to use that monotone "Bueller" voice, and try reading over the content a few times b4 recording so you wont constantly stutter or make mistakes during the recording.
