The Biblical Meaning of "Son of God"

Show us exactly how Jesus is one of David's paternal descendants in a way that clarifies exactly
what you mean.

Luke 1:32-33 . . The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and
he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end.

The thing is: before any man can be considered for David's throne he has to be one
of the king's natural descendants; and that's on oath.

Ps 132:11 . .The Lord has sworn in truth unto David; and He will not turn from it:
"Of the fruit of your body will I set upon your throne"

The new testament verifies Jesus is the fruit of David's body spoken of in that oath.

Acts 2:29-30 . . Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch
David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulcher is with us unto this day.
Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him,
that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on
his throne.

Rom 1:1-3 . . Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated
unto the gospel of God, concerning His son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made
of the seed of David according to the flesh

The Greek word for "seed" is a mite ambiguous because it can refer to spiritual
progeny as well as biological progeny; but in David's case; seed refers to biological
progeny because Christ was 1) the fruit of David's body and 2) of David's loins
according to the flesh.

So then, seeing as how Jesus was David's paternal descendant, then of course
Jesus was Adam's paternal descendant too because we all, including David, descend
from a common ancestor.

Gen 3:20 . . Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the mother of
all the living.

Acts 17:26 . . He made from one, every nation of mankind to live on all the face
of the earth.

While you are at it, show us how it is possible for a sin nature to be holy.

Jesus couldn't avoid the loss of perpetual youth, however, he easily avoided the
so-called fallen nature because that doesn't come to us from the original sin, rather,
it comes to Adam's posterity from the Serpent a.k.a. the Devil (Rev 12:9 & Rev 20:2)

I know that's true because Eve was fully constructed with material taken from
Adam's body before he tasted the forbidden fruit so it was impossible for him to
transmit the fallen nature to her by means of heredity yet her original sense of
decency was replaced by an altered version the same time as his.

* The Serpent has the power of death (Heb 2:14) and the ability to tamper with
the human body and the human mind in ways not easily detected; e.g. Luke 13:16,
Mark 5:1-5, John 8:44, Eph 2:2. The Serpent's power is so strong that once it takes
hold, only the cross of Christ can liberate people from it. (1John 3:8)

Anyway: even if Joseph had fathered baby Jesus, the child wouldn't have
necessarily been born with the so-called fallen nature because it's not transmitted
by one's natural parents. No, it's spread around by the Devil-- so it was likely a
simple matter for the Holy Spirit to keep the Serpent's paws off young Jesus to
ensure he would come into the world a sinless man.

That isn't true.
Consider this when it comes to "according to the flesh". The structure of Matthews lineage is to show Jesus as the Messianic King. Therefore the kingly (royal) line of David. It shows him as the true heir of David's throne. Jesus through legal adoption by Joseph according to Jewish cultural norms, inherited full legal, social and covenantal rights to the throne of David.Matthew shows his right to the throne is legal.

From ChatGPT. Look it up anyway you want from anywhere you want.

The phrase "according to the flesh" (kata sarka) typically refers to human, earthly origin as opposed to divine. It often focuses on:

  • Social or physical heritage
  • Human status and limitations
In this case, Jesus' “Davidic” status according to human norms would come legally through Joseph, the line of kings.

Even if Jesus wasn’t biologically descended from Joseph, the legal recognition of Joseph as father made Jesus a son of David “in the flesh,” by legal status.
 
.
1Tim 2:15 . . And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in
the transgression.
In a nutshell, when the woman tasted the forbidden fruit, all she did was taint
herself; but when Adam tasted the fruit, his entire posterity instantly became
collateral damage and thus doomed to die-- including Eve because she was
constructed with material taken from Adam's body. (Rom 5:12-21)
So then, seeing as how it's not all that difficult to show that Jesus is one of David's
paternal descendants
, and thus Adam's, then had the Lord not been crucified, he
would've eventually passed away of some other cause.

Forgetting that God reckons by the father of the child Jesus, whose Father is God, and not by its mother.

God reckons all mankind as sinners through Adam, not through Eve.
