If everything in the Bible is taken as literally true then it disproves itself in reference to Christianity.
In the first book of the new testament , first page, the lineage of Jesus is laid out from Abraham to Joseph.
The old testament prophets said that Jesus would be a direct descendant of King David and this part of the Bible shows that. Only one problem. According to Christianity Jesus is the son of God, not Joseph.
If Jesus is who they say he is he can't be who they say he is.
Now, if the author of Mathew had traced the lineage of Jesus from Abraham through David to Marry, then it would lead directly to Jesus, But the lineage in the Bible follows the Patriarcal line not the Matriarcal line.
So if Jesus is the son of Joseph, then he isn't the son of God. And if he is the son of God, then he isn't the descendant of Joseph as the prophets said he would be , as the author of Mathew tried to prove.
true blood:
The father of Mary was named Josheph (sic).
The blood link comes from Mary, I believe. But the "house of" is a strange concept - Onan, the second son, would have sired a successor for the dead brother (please reference the first few verses of Genesis 38) had he copulated with Tamar. Onan's refusal prompted Tamar to incest as a prostitute with Judah so her son(s) could claim the lineage all in the name of the House of Judah. It seems that, not only is sinful sex rewarded, but "Houses" can be established by the wife of the first born when she has sex (or becomes pregnant) by most anybody.
I'd say Mary's loving husband was cuckolded all around.
The answer by true blood really doesn't help.
