John the Baptist was a little older and a cousin. Was his family also obligated to make the trek to Bethlehem for the census as was Mary and Joseph?

Hosea 11


1When Israel{Ephraim, the son of Joseph} was a youth I loved him, And out of Egypt I called My son.


Matthew 2:15
where he stayed until the death of Herod. And so was fulfilled what the Lord had said through the prophet: "Out of Egypt I called my son."


Jesus was the son of Joseph and called out of Egypt fulfilling the prophesy of the son of Joseph and God calls all his sons out of Egypt.


Joseph must come first and then David.

See John the Baptist father was of Levi as he worked in the temple in Jerusalem , where as Joseph, Jesus father was of Judah, where Bethlehem was the city of David and of the tribe of Judah , where then if they were related then It came from Mary and Elizabeth , as their birth tribe was not known because they were woman , and women lost their birth right at marriage

How sexist. The Bible is certainly not decent or honourable when it comes to the treatment of women. The evil deity had his wicked way with a young girl if that not so good book is correct!

Let me start off with i like reading your posts and your username is one of the few I will stop to read when scanning new posts.

For sure you are a loyal follower of our Lord Jesus Christ.

That being said, (and I am not doubting you but just being a tad lazy) would you please reference in scripture your support for the above comment I have high-lighted in bold.

Thanks in advance

Doug

I would say she was of the daughters of Aaron...Which would make her also a Levite...

In other words, women were viewed solely as breeders, not people?

... just thinking out loud.
