The Devil's Advocate


One thing I've learned about myself lately is that I like to play the Devil's Advocate, at first I didn't like it but I think it is necessary sometimes.
Last night at church Pastor Rob was talking about the nativity scene, how Joseph who wasn't Jesus biological father took Mary to Bethlehem and took care of her and Jesus was born. So I started thinking, the bible says the Messiah (Jesus) was to be from the line of David, Joseph was from the line of David, so, if Joseph is not considered to be Jesus' father, because Mary was virgin and it was all by the Holy Spirit and Mary was not from the line of David, how come Jesus is considered to be from the line of David?...hmmm...
I'm pretty sure if I do my homework and do a little research I can find the answer myself, but, I thought it was an interesting question.
In case you are wondering, no, I'm not about to start a new cult.
I guess this one will go on the list of "Questions to God for when I get to heaven" which includes "God can you show me a new color different to all the known ones?" and "Do Aliens really exists?"
