Reply #27: And so the name calling begins

And so this probably means the end of civil conversation and the sharing of ideas.
But I will continue on just in case.

It is obvious from what you said that you did not get the story that the bible tells or you would have understood why Mathew listed the genealogy of Jesus. He was from the house of David and the saviour was predicted to com from that linage.
Did you get enough of the story to understand who David was or how Israel came to have a King in the first place? or how it survived without a King for the first 300 years of it's existence? Or why Israel came to it's destruction and how the Jews survived?
That is some of the story I am talking about. The metaphors and parables are not the story.
