"Mamzer"..... child of a union not sanctioned by biblical law as interpreted by the rabbis.
It's a child born out of wedlock, from adultery. If the woman isn't Jewish, the child isn't Jewish. So the mamzer issue wouldn't apply.
Since I'm not a Jew I don't follow Rabbinical interpretations......but I have a feeling that a union between Mary and the Holy Spirit was sanctioned by Yahweh......no matter what a Rabbi says.
In Hebrew, ruach hakodesh, spirit of holiness, with respect to marriage means a union to separate oneself for one person exclusively. Marriage in Hebrew is called Kiddushin. I think you can see the connection. Any child born from the union of his married parents is in the spirit of holiness, as God meant it to be.
Jesus, if he wasn't born from Joseph, would be a mamzer. All prophecies related to Abraham and David, and kings coming from their loins, verify that David's lineage can come no other way.
I don't have a problem with Jesus born naturally. But, not being divine. It would make things easier for him. The early Nazarenes believed just that according to Eusebius in his EH.
Are you of the opinion that miracles cannot happen?
Sure. But there isn't a virgin birth. Can you tell me what the sign of a pregnant virgin is? It must be visible. And how does it differ from a pregnant non-virgin?
Here is the sign of a virgin, Deut 22:15.
Yep, the swaying to false gods.
Is it not strange that Solomon would do this knowing that Yahweh had prohibited the very thing? And.....indeed Solomon had his heart turned toward idolatry (verse 4). Because of this the kingdom was divided and Benjamin (one Tribe) was given to Judah. [II Chronicles 11:12-17] describes the addition of Benjamin.....and later Levi.
Solomon did this trying to build alliances, trying to outsmart God. That was his problem.
[Genesis 44:18-34] describes the special relationship between Benjamin and Judah.
Ok.
That's the problem.....although the Kingdom may have been divided anyway for some other reason. Who knows?
In Rehoboam's time, it was split because he tried imposing harsh taxes.
The "Mamzer" thing was not an issue between Boaz and Ruth since she was already of Israel and needed no conversion.
It wasn't an issue because she was a convert and part of Israel. That's how conversion works. You're given legal paperwork showing you're part of the nation of Israel, and when marrying into a family, your Ketubah, marriage contract, shows your husband and the new family you're a part of legally.
