I don't know anything to argue point or counterpoint on any of this but wanted to point out:

Jesus' lineage can be traced back to David thru separate lines by both Mary and Joseph... Though Jesus was not Joseph's natural son, legally as His stepfather, rights and recognition would come thru this line, right?

(It also just occurred to me while writing this the significance of His step father being named Joseph - also the favored son of Israel and ruler of Egypt... Hmmmm.... I have to study)

But anyway, perhaps the AC will meet fulfilling separate lines from both mom and step dad. As the AC and not the true Christ, it would only make sense they'd lead to different "origins" unlike Christ with David.

If my unstudied pondering has caused some to be misled I ask forgiveness... I am just trying to figure this all out...

5 *s for me Salt! And a pin... Btw I too just wish the original article would just spit out who they're thinking even though I know it's not the point!
