[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People, can we please get back to the original question? Was Mary the biological mother of Jesus or just a surrogate?  I'd like to add the question: whose DNA did Jesus share?

Start a new thread about Islam and end times if you want to discuss that.

This is all speculative  like so much in the Bible.

Though it says "born of a woman" which would imply regular parenthood, in those days, probably meant a woman as a vessel for the man's (God in this case) seed - so the DNA would be all God's.

Although they didn't have a concept of DNA (the all-knowing God did, of course, but he wasn't talking), I'm assuming people back then noticed that sometimes a child looked much more like its mother than its father.  Is there any reference in the Bible to that sort of recognition? - not necessarily about Jesus, but about any Biblical character.  I can't think of any, but I'm not that well-versed in the Bible.

Also, is there any Biblical reference at all to what Jesus looked like? I know we westerns have a blue eyed image of him that if probably off, but I wonder how people in his time saw him.[/quote]
