I think the reference of genealogies is very interesting There are certain people of good Stock or privilege that feel they have the right to step on people they feel are beneath them or in certain religious circles Make you to feel guilty But in the kingdom of heaven those of the lowest perceived stature will hold the highest position at the right hand of Jesus Christ

Albert Quartey's comment on 2013-08-21 04:32:20:

it is true we have to avoid asking foolish question because that will not lead us to the truth. As mortals, the most important and the most glorious thing to do is to gain the mind of Jesus Christ, to believe what he believed, to do what he did, to say what he said and to be as he is then we can exercise faith in God and to life and salvation.

ingrid's comment on 2010-11-11 12:49:09:

it is not for us to question what god has done, why and how. we are to walk in faith. e.g. the church long ago has corrupted herself by claims that are untrue and unfounded. in this, xmas and easter celebration have nothing to do with god. to question what day and details about jesus' life is irrelevant to the fact we are to love and obey god and follow his way. our reasonings are feeble and faulty at best, and god specifically told man not to question what he does not understand. look at the division between church institutions in this world,self righteousness is not righteousness! christianity as it was in the beginning is long extinct. if we lived by the word nobody would be without!
