Don't quote me on this, but I've heard that as long as one's mother was a Jew, he/she was also a Jew.Once I learned something from a 12 year old girl. For a long time I had been puzzled by the elaborate geneology of Joseph in Matthew Chapter 1. It didn’t make sense. How was it relevant if Jesus was virgin born. That is when the 12 year old girl directed me to Mary’s lineage in the book of Luke. Apparently Christ is a descendant of David. Mary and Joseph were both descendants of David.
