To swindled – Interesting comment/thought –
Am I correct in your understanding that the Book of Matthew is incorrect in the Genealogy of Jesus
Matthew 1:1-17
Matthew 1:16 – And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary whom was born Christ. Can you direct me to the genealogy of Mary in the Bible?

Do you believe the bible or not? I will answer you if you have the belief on the bible but if you just want to critisize Jesus, no need to answer you on the right way.

No Jesus was not the biological son of Joseph. Jesus was like a step-son to Joseph. He was conceived by the virgin Mary when the Holy Spirit came upon her. She did not have a human to make her pregnant.

Mary was betrothed to Joseph that is why she had to go with him to Bethlehem. They were as if married yet Mary was still a virgin. When they got to Bethlehem and the child was born it was God's baby with Mary as an incubator. Then after Jesus was born Mary and Joseph had other children.

Jesus Christ is the Son of God, God the Father is his true heavenly father, Jesus wasn't concieved through sex, he was placed in Mary's womb by God. Joseph was Jesus's earthly father, but he wasn't his biological father. Jesus had no blood relation at all to Joseph.

In order for him to fulfill the prophecy of the Old Testament I would have to say yes he was.
If he is not then the prophecy has not yet been fulfilled and we are still waiting.
II Samuel 7:12-When your days are done and you lie with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you, one of your own issue, and I will establish his kingship.
13- He shall build a house for My name, and I will establish his royal throne forever.
14-I will be a father to him, and he shall be a son to Me. When he does wrong, I will chastise him with the rod of men and the affliction of mortals;
Joseph who was married to "The Virgin Mary" was a descendant of David therefore Jesus must be the biological son of Joseph and Mary to fulfill the prophecy of the true Messiah.
Hope this helps

No, Luke 1:26 - 35 (NKJV) 26Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, 27to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. 28And having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; £blessed are you among women!” 29But £when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was. 30Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus. 32He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. 33And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.” 34Then Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I do not know a man?” 35And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God.

No but ancient Roman law (remember that the Romans ruled that area) established a legal presumption (kept to the present days on many Civil Code countries) that the father was "the husband of the mother" (no DNA tests at that time).

no.Jesus is God's Son. God sent an Angel to Mary, who was virgin,and told her she would bear a son, the very Son of God, and His Name should be called "Jesus",. Joseph helped her raise Him though and taught Him carpentry

No, Joseph was not the biological father of Jesus. God the Father- Elohim is the father of Jesus.

NO, because Mary was a virgin when she became pregnant. Jesus is God's son. Joseph raised him as a son though.

He wasn't the biological son of Joseph. Nor God. It wasn't a biological pregnancy in the first place. =) it was a Spiritual miracle.
