Indeed, lots of things are mentioned in the so-called new testament.
Should all of them be required to be rightfully a christian? Or only some?
Not my point, or what I thought was the point of the thread. If we are going to go down the road of referring to the segments of the Bible as so-called we are just whistling in the wind.

Blame me for not getting your point.
So, what was the point of bringing up Jesus's family background?
