It is rebellion to deny the physical lineage of Christ.
He is the second Adam precisely because he is of
Adam's blood: through Eve to Seth, and Noah, and Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob, and Judah, and David to Jesus through Mary. To deny this is to deny that Christ came in the flesh at
all. John tells us that it is
anti-Christ to hold and promote such a belief; indeed, it is the
spirit of rebellion.
You are wrong about this Bill and you
are holding to false doctrine in this area. Noone is denying any
physical lineage of Christ, just the one you portray. Jesus is not
the second Adam for the reason you proffer above. He came to
introduce a "new creation" - not put band aids on the old. Actually
your gospel is the spirit of anti-christ - which in actuality is another
(flesh Christ) standing in place of the real.
You don't know what kind of flesh he
had. Yes Mary and Joseph are both in David's lineage but Joseph is
not his biological father who supplies the sperm and determines the sex
and blood type of the child. Jesus at 12yrs of age was saying that
he had to be about his Father's business and he wasn't referring to
Joseph. He also called the temple his Father's house rather than the
carpenter shop he was raised in. In Matt 1:18 we are told that "Mary
was found with child of the Holy Ghost" (Matt 1:18); so Bill why not ask
God to reveal it to you rather than construct a different Jesus and
another gospel?
Please take heed the words
of Christ, exalted to David's throne: "I, Jesus, have sent My
angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and
the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star." -- Rev
22.16
I would underline
Root if I were you and then go and read Romans 11:16-18 ... If the root be
holy?? The Lord said to my Lord??
