“His paternal and maternal lines were... what?”
Longer answer: there are two genealogies in the New Testament for Jesus. In Matthew, it is claimed that Joseph was a descendent of King Jeconiah, who in the Hebrew Bible was cursed to never have a descendent “sitting on the throne of David and ruling any more in Judah” (Jeremiah 22:30). Plus, if Jesus is actually descended from the human being Joseph, he would be a descendant of someone whom God said would never have a descendant sitting on the throne of Israel. In Luke, there is a different genealogy, which many Christian Scholars claim is through Mary. Putting aside for the moment the fact that under Jewish law one can inherit no status other than that of being Jewish from one’s mother, Mary herself is descended from Nathan, the brother of King Solomon, and not King Solomon himself. This would also disqualify him, again assuming that he could inherit some kind of status as a king through his mother, which is utterly forbidden under Jewish law.
Of course, there is also the argument that has been made buy some Christians that the genealogy simply did not matter, since he was the “son of God.”. Well, if the genealogy wasn’t important, why are there two separate genealogies for Jesus in two separate books in the New Testament? What would be the point? That is in addition to the problem caused by having a non-human parent (which sounds an awful lot like pagan theology to me): Jewish laws very specific that the Messiah will be a human being, descended from other human beings. There is no provision whatsoever in Jewish law or theology for the physical mixing of the Divine and human beings. God is God, and human beings are human beings. There is no combination of the two.
So what was it that you wanted to discuss regarding his genealogy?
Mary came from the tribe of Judah and Levi...
Genesis begs to differ.
The Jeconiah argument carries no weight with a Christian who believes the New Testament. Matthew 28:19 states that Jesus now has all authority, is reigning now. Mark 16:19 states that the seat of this government is on the right hand of God, not in Judah.
Except under two condition clearly expressed in Scripture. One time is when a woman may marry a kinsman provider and raise up a child to inherit her dead husbands name and inheritance. Though her husband is dead, her first born inherits everything that is his, through his wife, even though the child isn't actually of his direct seed.
Another way is expressed no less than three times in Holy Scripture, coming straight from God through Moses. This seemingly obscure concept and God given rule was so important as to be expressed three different times in Scripture! Why?
If a man hasn't any sons his daughter may inherit his name and his inheritance, with only one caveat. She must marry someone within her father's tribe. When she does this her father's name and inheritance then will bypass her and be passed down to her son. It is recorded that Mary had a sister, but there isn't any mention of a brother. She likely inherited her father's name and inheritance which would pass to her first born. Jesus may of received His Kingship through both Joseph and through Mary. A double blessing. Double blessings are a hallmark of God favor.
