A Couple of Questions

[April_Rose]

1. Some people on here are saying that Joseph was not the real father of Jesus. Why is this when the Bible is very clear on the fact that He is His earthly father?


2. When do you think the first Easter occurred?

You know, lately people have been saying the Bible is very clear about things that it is not clear about. Joseph was Jesus' step-dad. At least, that is the take I've always had.

Father, stepfather, the point is that Joseph helped Mary to raise Him so he was a father to Him in that sense.

the bible is very clear on the subject, the Lord Jesus do not have a earthly biological father nor mother. supportive scripture, Luke 3:23 "And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli,"
now as for Mary, she was only the surrogate BIRTH MOTHER to the flesh that he, God, the Lord Jesus the Ordinal Last came in.

now as for easter which one? the easter translated from G3957 πάσχα pascha (pas'-cha) WHICH IN Aramaic, for the Passover, or what westerners calls easter?

Look regardless of what way Jesus, Mary, and Joseph were all related you can pretty much guarantee that He still referred to them as His parents and called them Mother and Father or Mom and Dad or whatever.

Jehovah is the actual Father of Jesus maam, although Joseph is in real terms his step father, he was called the son of Joseph in the lineage found recorded in Luke, although some Bibles put some additional words in parenthesis to help one to understand that he wasn't actually the father.

People rendering sacred service to easter goes back into Babylonian times.
