1) In the Bible, is It true that Joseph, Foster Father of Jesus Christ is a Descendant of Seth, the Son of Adam and Eve?
2) What happened to the Original Church Jesus had Founded in Jerusalem? (Note that It is not the Roman Catholic church Jesus had founded)
3) Why do Born-Again Christians use the so called "Bible alone Theory" and accepts the King James Bible as their only Universal basis of faith?
4) Are apocryphas (Example of which is the "Gospel of Judas Iscariot") really excessive books that were considered abandoned from the bible? Why did a gnostic not include these apocryphas in the bible?
5) Why does the statues of the Blessed Virgin Mary cry blood? Is the blood real?
6) What are Stigmatas? Are these the phenomenal applications of reflecting man with Christ's crucifiction? Is it a Spiritual Phenomenon or a Mind Trick? Did the Vatican approve the authenticity of this phenomenon aside from the Stigmatas of St. Francis of Assisi and Padre Pio?

Don't look for your answers here in this forum. If you're sincere in seeking answers, you will need to do some serious and deep research.
To properly address these issues would require a book to be written. Can't do it here.

!-The geneology appears in Matthew
2-There are those alive today who are Christians of the original church, otherwise Christ would have returned.
3- I am a born again Christian, I use several translations but prefer the English translation of the Greek Bible.
4-I was not there for the first council so I cannot say why but I do read these books, Enoch, Thomas, Phillip, Mary Magdalene, I have no problem with them but most are incomplete.
5 I am not Catholic so I conclude that this is deception by satan
6- Again, I am not Catholic and have never seen Stigmatas. I cannot make a judgement concerning the authenticity.

1- I'm sure he's descended from someone loosely related to Adam..
2- I'm sure a mosque was built over it 1300 years ago.
3- They can't read anything not in English, perhaps.
4- The message of those books did not fit in with the message of the editors, and if they could have, they would have dropped some of the OT as well..
5- It makes money for the church. no.
6- Mindfreaking from top to bottom.

The Roman Catholic Church is indeed the very same church that Jesus personally founded.
HIstory, and the fact that the church can trace it's roots back to Jesus and the apostles, proves it, and the promises and express assurances of Jesus Christ guarantee it.
From what source(s) have you been getting your theology and history?
