[MarkBsnr]

I thought the discussion had to do with the sin nature coming from the father and not about "Jewishness". Scripture says, as Metmom pointed out, that sin came from Adam and because of Adam's sin we are all sinners.

Correct; this unScriptural idea.

This doctrine is quite different from the one about Jesus' lineage going back to the throne of David. We had this discussion back some time ago, and we know that both Mary and Joseph can trace back to David's lineage but only Mary's side was without a curse (Jeconiah) so that Jesus was legally entitled to the throne of David.

Jesus was legally entitled to the throne of David? God Almighty constricted to human legalities? Oh man, oh man, oh man. I don't know whether to laugh or cry at statements like this.

I don't know whether to keep up this silly charade of a discussion or go find someone else to talk to. Perhaps you didn't know this, but, Jesus DID have legal HUMAN right to the throne of David. You may not care but God took the trouble to spell out Jesus' lineage in both Matthew (Joseph)and Luke (Mary). Didn't you ever wonder why?
