So the legitimacy of a child does not depend on God

Do you really think that God cares about the "legitimacy" of a child? I think, in God's eyes, all children are "legitimate".

As an aside, the concept of "legitimacy" doesn't carry any sort of disability in current canon law. It's mentioned only in passing IIRC, and that mention is only there for the sake of inheritance law in countries where civil divorce doesn't exist.

I think He cares cares about all sin

Deuteronomy 23:2 and 3 A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD.

Isa 57:3 But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the whore.

Hbr 12:8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

God DOES care, that is why there are so many genealogies in scripture.

Well the church may find it of only "passing interest", but seems God takes it seriously..
