Matthew lists the lineage of Jesus with five women being included in the naming of the lineage: Thamar, Rachab, Ruth, Bathsheba and Mary the mother of Jesus. |
The point being ....... NONE are born of the "seed" of a woman, except Mary, whose "seed" was NOT her own, but the Holy Ghost who created & implanted it in her womb! Blood lineage is ALL in the ones who "begat," that is the male. The fact that the names of women such as Thamar, Rachab, Ruth, and "her that had been the wife of Uraih, that is Solomon's mother /Bathsheba, are even noted are of ABSOLUTELY NO consequence whatsoever!
Visit the Boston Children's Hospital and examine the manner in which a human body if formed in the womb, and you'll discover that the ONLY thing which does NOT pass from mother to the fetus is the "blood." The skeletal bones of the forming body generates its own blood supply, none of which ever intermingles with the blood of its mother! NEVER! This is what made the "blood" of Christ Jesus pure, untainted by the sin-marred blood of His mother Mary, therefore making it acceptable as an atonement for our sins!
