kIs it an ego thing? I fail to understand it and know that many people enjoy it and that is good for them but how pointless is it actually given we all come from God,thru Adam and eve. Most important is when we are born again-any previous geneology connections are, therefore, null and void to a Christian.

Sometimes it's to see where our relatives lived...just like if you had relatives in California...and someday wanted to find out where......guess we want to be part of our own history book.

Even God made sure Jesus was born though a certain geneology. Also, more stories, than not, in the Bilbe involve families, there children and so on.
Have you actually sat down and read all the "begat's" in the Bible?
There are countess pages of them.
As Christians if Jesus was not the "SON" of God, he would not be who he is. His mother was important or she would not have been mentioned either. FAMILY genealogy does matter!
I was raised by my biological mother and just recently found my biological father. I know what it is like to know your family and not know your family. For me, it is better to know, even if you learn about stuff you really just didn't want to know.
I know it's figurative, but Christians do refer to one another as Brothers and Sister in Christ. Why be figurative if the real thing does not matter????

So by your logic... I am born of my mother and father (through the grace of God!) but don't have to worry about what they were like as children - because this has no bearing on how I was raised? Or what kind of people this makes my children?
Try this verses on for size:
Prov. 1: 8 My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
Think not in the concrete sense of your actual parents, but along the lines of your grandfathers and grandmothers... According to this verse God is commanding us to know our ancestors and the things they would teach us.
How would you know what lessons are to be learned from your ancestors if you don't even know your grand father's middle name, or what is your grandmother's maiden name?

whats up! superb question. this comparable question is what I actually bear in concepts for extra or less 3 days now. I recommend, what I additionally bear in concepts is that, guy is unquestionably sinful.. How could desire to they fall into temptation even in spite of the undeniable fact that they've not even ate the fruit from the tree of wisdom? easy, as you and that i bear in concepts, God did not actually made the main appropriate guy of all. If Adam and Eve have been appropriate, they could desire to have in basic terms rejected the temptation. So there grew to become into already sin in this worldwide even formerly the 1st sin grew to become into born.

I enjoy learning about my ancestors. It's neat to know their names and a little bit about them. I'm sorry that you feel like this. By the way, I'm pretty sure that the born-again part refers to your soul not your body.

Even if Adam and Eve were real...people still want to know what happened to their ancestors between then and now.

Null and void? Have you forgotten God's commandment to "Honor thy father and thy mother"?

It is a HOBBY. And why are you getting into religion here. Go to another topic for that and argue about God to them.

For one who calls himself a "Christian", you're very rude!
