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?
Blame you? Where did you come up with that?
From the onset of this thread it has been about tying the Old and New together, or so I thought.
OK, you win. I have no further interest in this silliness. Considering that I am most likely the only one of the participants in a thread specifically asking for input from those that studied the Bible beyond the layperson level I stupidly thought I might have been able to contribute in a meaningful manner. What was I thinking?
I can have meaningless arguments on Facebook where I am not bound by the FUA in place here.

Is this your way of saying that it is Jesus's lineage which ties the christian texts to the Jewish texts?
Or is it the claims by the christian writers that Jesus fulfilled some sorts of prophecies in the Jewish scriptures?
