Yes but no.
Josheph's line was decended from Solomon. Mary's line was decended from Nathan.
Nathan was not a child of Bathsheba. So in reality, Jesus did not have a drop of blood from Solomon or Bathsheba.
He was "from the House of David" because of Joseph. That's all.

Christ said he is the offspring of David :
Rev 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
Paul said :
Rom 1:3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
Here is a useful link giving the genealogy of Christ from both Joseph’s and Mary’s side. Please educate yourself before embarrassing yourself and dragging down the name of Christianity .

Read and understand the genealogies in Matt 1 and Luke 3. One is Joseph and one is Mary. It appears to be both of Joseph but the names are different. Read the link and you will understand why they both appear to be for Joseph.

I always enjoyed the story of seven castaways stranded on a desert island.
There was a rich man and his spouse, a wise man, a simple shepard girl, a harlot along with the fisherman and his helper.
P.S. It does remind me of Gilligan's Island. Here is the Intro:

Rajk999 has rudely deigned to "edumacate" me on this, though.
Thanks, anyway.
Originally posted by VoidSpiritI have thought of RJ being like gilligan more than once. He tries to do the right thing (in his mind), but ends up looking like a fool and screwing things up.
it's posts like that that make be rethink my assessment of rj. maybe he really is that stupid and not just pretending to be.
