Most people would say the typical cop out, "no they spirit conceived her", that was not my question.
Most modern Christians would also say they are the same, God, Jesus, Holy Spirit, all same. That is already disproved by the bible, they are different people. Again not my question.
My question is that of lineage, we know, or are given in the bible that Joseph was of the Ruling house by birth, and if not for roman rule would have claime to the throne for Jerusalem. Mary as well would have like claim, as her lineage is also given. Yes they were distant cousins. Through witch parent Joseph or Mary did Jesus claim his rule? For if God was his father then Joseph being the man would have greater right to rule than Mary, or was Mary s lineage stronger (more direct) than Josephs?

God wouldn't want to decieve us whould he; and well im not really fallowing the trinity, I mean who is god praying to on the cross? "Father into thy hands I commend my spirit" or should we say "it to my hands I commend my spirit"? Same with the Garden who is he talking to? Or then the Spirit has a body that came to earth in the form of Jesus, was resurrected and the put on a shelf so he could still be spirit? Trinity=misunderstanding of God and his son Jesus, not to mention the Spirit
never mind, maybe i'll ask a mormon? at least there i'll have a worth while future.

God is God, Jesus is son of God.

Putting aside the question of whose lineage was "stronger," I would say that the biblical evidence for God fathering Jesus is well nigh undeniable. Do you dispute this, or do you question it due to the lineage question?
I don't think the writers had much intention of giving absolute proof of the right to reign via lineage, rather they sought to demonstrate that Jesus was the fulfillment of prophecy; this they did adequately.

Mary was chosen because she was to be the wife of Joseph. The bloodline of Jesus was through Joseph. Joseph's lineage goes back to Abraham.

The fact that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are separate persons does not negate the fact that they are all one, and that they are all God. That is the mystery of the Trinity. We can know it, and we can believe it on the word of God Who revealed it, but no human mind can understand it.

This is an easy one. The spirit did conceive her whether or not you like the answer or not.
Also the Bible does not disprove the Trinity, quite the opposite actually.
And for the 3rd part of your question...Who cares? What difference does it make?
Peace
