where did jesus come from?(where did mary come from?)?

Question

we all know jesus' father joseph came from the tribe of judah but that is not important at all because he is not the father of jesus. so the question we should ask is where mary came from. where did she come from? does anyone have any info?

Answer 1

Mary was also a descendant of David. Her genealogy is given in Luke 3.

“Joseph was clearly the son of Jacob (Matthew 1:16, so this verse [Luke 3:23 - says “son of Heli”] should be understood to mean “son-in-law of Heli.” Thus, the genealogy of Christ in Luke is actually the genealogy of Mary, while Matthew gives that of Joseph. Actually, the word “son” is not in the original, so it would be legitimate to supply either “son” or “son-in-law” in this context. Since Matthew and Luke clearly record much common material, it is certain that neither one could unknowingly incorporate such a flagrant apparent mistake as the wrong genealogy in his record. As it is, however, the two genealogies show that both parents were descendants of David—Joseph through Solomon (Matthew 1:7-15), thus inheriting the legal right to the throne of David, and Mary through Nathan (Luke 3:23-31), her line thus carrying the seed of David, since Solomon’s line had been refused the throne because of Jechoniah’s sin” [Dr. Henry M. Morris].

Answer 2

Actually, we don't know that "...jesus' father joseph came from the tribe of judah...." In point of fact, there is no concrete, credible archaeological evidence or documentation to demonstrate that Jesus even existed as a historical person. The most likely reason for this lack of evidence is that the character, Jesus, is another example of the dead and resurrecting hero-god myth that was common among many different religions in the Middle East during that time in history. What has happened over time, however, is that many, many people have mistaken fiction for history. Jesus did NOT exist.

Answer 3

Mary (Jesus’ Mother)
. Mary the mother of Jesus. She was the daughter of Heli, though the genealogy given by Luke lists Mary’s husband Joseph as the “son of Heli.” Says M’Clintock and Strong’s Cyclopaedia (1881, Vol. III, p. 774): “In constructing their genealogical tables, it is well known that the Jews reckoned wholly by males, rejecting, where the blood of the grandfather passed to the grandson through a daughter, the name of the daughter herself, and counting that daughter’s husband for the son of the maternal grandfather (Numb. xxvi, 33; xxvii, 4-7).” It is undoubtedly for this reason the historian Luke says that Joseph was the “son of Heli.”—Lu 3:23.

Mary was of the tribe of Judah and a descendant of David. Hence it could be said of her son Jesus that he “sprang from the seed of David according to the flesh.” (Ro 1:3) Through his adoptive father Joseph, a descendant of David, Jesus had a legal right to David’s throne, and through his mother, as the “offspring,” “seed,” and “root” of David, he held the natural hereditary right to “the throne of David his father.”—Mt 1:1-16; Lu 1:32; Ac 13:22, 23; 2Ti 2:8; Re 5:5; 22:16.

If tradition is correct, Heli’s wife, the mother of Mary, was Anna, whose sister had a daughter named Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptizer. This tradition would make Elizabeth the cousin of Mary. That Mary was related to Elizabeth, who was “from the daughters of Aaron” of the tribe of Levi, the Scriptures themselves state. (Lu 1:5, 36) Mary’s sister, some have thought, was Salome, the wife of Zebedee, whose two sons, James and John, were numbered among Jesus’ apostles.—Mt 27:55, 56; Mr 15:40; 16:1; Joh 19:25.

Answer 4

Jesus was born in Bethlehem, but raised in Mary's hometown of Nazereth. Mary is a direct descendent of King David. In the Jewish tradition, the bloodline is important coming from the mother. Joseph is not given enough credit as a step-father. He was obedient to divine inspiration that Mary not be put away due to her pregnancy, but cared for and that she be taken away to Egypt during King Herod's reign of terror. He also was by her side, when he and Mary reprimanded Jesus (who at 12 years old stayed behind in Jerusalem "at his Father's house) when Joseph and Mary's caravan was headed home. Mary inspired Jesus to do his first miraculous act (water into wine) at the wedding in Cana, near Nazareth.

Answer 5

well its the seed of the man the is important in the reproduction process, the blood line in the bible was always followed through the man,and the birth of Jesus was no different(even though the child was of the Holy Spirit) , therefore the the blood line of Jesus was counted up to Joseph, Mary was chosen as the mother of the child so from God point of view its the male seed that was important.
so the story was told correctly by focusing on the man. but as for the history of mary its annonomous to me

Answer 6

Mary's parents name are included in a scripture that was not included in the canon.
An early document, known as the Proto-Gospel of James, calls them Ann and Joachim, by which names they are customarily known. Some people consider this document unreliable though.

According to Luke 1:26, Mary lived in Nazareth, a city in Galilee, at the time of the Annunciation. A certain tradition maintains that she was conceived and born in the same house in which the Word became flesh. St. John Damascene repeats the statement that Mary was born in the Probatica.

Answer 7

well King David is her grandfather x14. in another words: great great-->14 greats and you will get to king david.

her father was Joachim. Joachim was a rich and pious man who regularly gives to the poor and to the temple. However, as his wife is barren, the High Priest rejects Joachim and his sacrifice, his wife's childlessness being interpreted as a sign of divine displeasure. Joachim consequently withdraws to the desert where he fasts and does penance for forty days. Angels appeared to Joachim to promise them a child. Joachim returns to Jerusalem and embraces Anne at the city gate.

her mother was Anna. Anna, after years of childlessness, was visited by an angel who told them that they would conceive a child. Anna promised to dedicate the child to God's service. Joachim and Anna are believed to have given Mary to the service of the Second Temple when the girl was three years old.

Answer 9

Luke 1
26 In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,

27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.

28 And he came to her and said, "Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you!"

Answer 10

compare the 4 gospels

they do not agree with father/mother

they omit the birth on 2 accounts

it makes more sense that christianity stole from existing cults and gained followers

The POCM web site introduces you to the mainstream modern scholarship about Christianity's origins in ancient Pagan religion.

You already know Christmas trees and Easter eggs were originally Pagan, and you probably know the traditional mid-winter and spring timing of the two holidays was Pagan too. Mildly interesting. Not what you'll find here.

What you'll discover here is that Christianity inherited everything from the Pagans. The core of Christianity -- the worship of a dying Godman who is resurrected, ascends into heaven and brings salvation to mankind -- was also the core of a number of ancient Pagan religions that began in the Near East two thousand years before Jesus.

Christian theology borrowed more than the archaic myth of the dying-resurrected Godman. Initiation by baptism, communion with the God through a holy meal that represented the flesh of the dead God, the Holy Spirit, monotheism, and immortality of the soul were all core beliefs of many ancient faiths. They were simply part of ancient Mediterranean culture.

Christianity also borrowed elements of Jesus' mythology: the virgin birth, the miracles (including turning water into wine, walking on water, and especially healing the sick) were all common elements of pre-Christian Pagan religions. Mithras had 'em. So did Dionysus, Attis, Osiris, and Orpheus. And more. And they had them centuries before Christianity was a twinkle in Saint Paul's eye.
