It is close...tHE DIRECT LINE of descent is ONLY through Mary,,,not through Joseph because Joseph was NOT Jesus' naturAL FATHER.
Mary became pregnant through holy spirit...and as a human female, she was IMPERFECT.
Having inherited imperfection from Adam and Eve...All humans are imperfect...As all have also come from Adam and Eve.
So how could Mary have given birth to a PERFECT man, Jesus...
Only by the intervention of Almighty God himself...Jesus was protected from inheriting imperfection from Mary.
Joseph also was, as a man with two parents, imperfect.
But he had nothing to do with Jesus' birth.
So the first part of the 'download' has no meaning.
Adam and Eve were created perfect, but became imperfect when they disobeyed...causing death both for themselves and ALL their offspring. And no one cqan doubt we all eventually die...so we have ' inherited' death...therefore, sin is imperfection causing death...
For us to die is NOT part of God's plan...His original plan for Adam and Eve
was to live, without death or sickness, on the earth and make the whole earth into a paradise...
They disobeyed and messed it up...Genesis 2; 16,17
So God SENT Jesus to rewctify the situation...by sacrificing
his perfect human life, Jesus PAID FOR death [ sin] to be lifted...Off only the deserving ones...the ones who are being properly obedient...
Mark 9;7...God asked we listen to Jesus...
And Jesus said that the 'good news' must be preached...Matthew 24;14.
WHO, in this day, is doing this?
AND preaching the KINGDOM???
(Matthew 6:9-10) “YOU must pray, then, this way: “‘Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified. 10 Let your kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also upon earth.
what WE ALL PRAY FOR...DO WE UNDERSTAND WHAT THE KINGDOM IS?
Its up to us to study the Bible and find out.
And not get bogged down with t
