Jesus Geneaology

The religion of Christianity has always intrigued me. I have always wondered what pull factor it had to convert millions of people to it's beliefs. When we started looking at Jesus's Genealogy I was surprised to see that it had such a big whole. The fact that Joseph, Jesus's father is a dissident of David leaves a huge whole in the Christian story because Jesus is supposed to be the son of God. There for Jesus is not a dissident of David because he does not share blood with Joseph. When Aaron pointed this out in class I started to get anger, almost as if it was a personal insult to me. I don't know why but I think it's because people judge the stories of Judaism so much and they identify as Christian. So when I see this evidence of a whole in there belief it makes me angry that they would criticize my religion when they have gaps in theirs too. We are able to prove these stories are real through multiple sources. The same can be said for Christians. Both religions have gaps in their stories so instead of judging each other we should just come to peace with the fact that some things can't be explained.
