@The Anointed,
Yes, as was supposed.
He was the (adopted) son of Joseph, because as Matthew puts it, Joseph was going to divorce her quietly but was told in a dream that this is God's Son.
You don't seem to understand the chain of logic here.
The brackets literally mean nothing to me. Even if they omitted this part, he is son of Joseph only by marriage. Matthew is supposed to be compared with Luke.
But nowhere in this text does it tell you to treat Heli as anyone but Mary's father. Incest is a sin. Adultery is a sin (they were pledged in marriage, Joseph and Mary). Deceit is a sin. And if she was raped, rape is kinda bad too. That would make 3 sins against Mary, and one against her father.
The message of Jesus is that the accused is innocent. But here you hold Mary as guilty of two stoning offenses.
Again, it doesn't matter what the text supposedly said before. This day you are my son, or before. Because Jesus in the temple refers to God as his father.

If Heli was his father, wouldn't he have wandered into his grandpa's house instead? But no, the text says he went to the temple. I don't care what the Romans changed it to. Again, if all my life I had displeased my father, and one day I did something to make him very happy, "This day you are my son." But Jesus knew who his Father was. It wasn't some old pervert.
Quote:49 “Why were you searching for me?” he asked. “Didn’t you know I had to be in my Father’s house?”50 But they did not understand what he was saying to them.
No, you'll deal with my rubbish now. Because whether of not you agree that Jesus was female (this is not a Christian majority opinion, and I know it), you've blasphemed against Jesus and the Holy Spirit which made Jesus pregnant.
You'll deal with the fact you suggested that the Holy Spirit making Mary become pregnant was really some lie, and it was actually incest.
Quote:The term blasphemy may be generally defined as “defiant irreverence.” The term can be applied to such sins as cursing God or willfully degrading things relating to God. Blasphemy is also attributing some evil to God or denying Him some good that we should attribute to Him. This particular case of blasphemy, however, is called “the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit” in Matthew 12:31. The Pharisees, having witnessed irrefutable proof that Jesus was working miracles in the power of the Holy Spirit, claimed instead that the Lord was possessed by a demon (Matthew 12:24). Notice in Mark 3:30 Jesus is very specific about what the Pharisees did to commit blasphemy against the Holy Spirit: “He said this because they were saying, ‘He has an impure spirit.’”
You have called God's Son instead the son of an incest and a harlot. You degrade God's Son as a child born into sin. And you say that the Holy Spirit cannot make a pregnancy so the only thing it can be is another man. The last one is worst of all! In this last one you condemn the Holy Spirit itself. This is something Jesus says that God should not forgive. You will need to repent of this nonsense. All of it. It's unbiblical (even more so than my pet theory) and frankly very offensive.
