Today I would like to talk about Jesus and his lineage. Jacob and Leah have Judah, who, with Tamar, Begin a family tree of fourteen generations that eventually give birth to Jesus. So, Christianity is based on the belief that Jesus is Gods son, and the example of a the perfect moral being. I'm on a branch here, but didn't Leah trick Jacob into marriage by sleeping with him? Didn't Rachel get Gods blessing by her hospitality of watering Jacobs property? Why then would God bless Leah with his son, Jesus? And wasn't Judah involved in the whole business with his brother Joseph? I am writing without thinking it through yet, and I havent read the whole bible, but it seems that lineage is worth looking at, especially in regards to Jesus.
I think i'll go do some more reading and come back to this.

Don't stop there. There's an actual prostitute later (Rahab), as well as a murderer and adulterer (David).
Seems unlikely that one could find a lineage not made out of lying, stealing, backstabbing murders, given the way people work.
