Given the scandals associated with the women Tamar, Rahab, Ruth and the wife of Uriah (Bathsheba), why do you think they were mentioned in the geneology of Jesus?

Mary was made sinless by the Lord the new Eve like Jesus is the new Adam descending from a geneaology of men who too - some - are all sinners. We all descend from our progenitors and bring that sin in our blood. We are redeemed through Jesus death on the cross. Salvation is stronger than the blood relations. It stretches to everyone who takes the Word in by letting it run through the soul like Life giving Blood. with the actual Passion and its reenacting at every Mass. Its` a Blood transfusion that reaches everysingle one. Mary`s blood was pure and with giving birth to the Saviour she redeemed all women with her yes. We are not biologically - blood connection - doomed to salvation or condemnation but the road is open to us all. Do we say yes or no to God to His will? like Mary and Joseph did and like Jesus too did. Question: did Mary and Joseph explained Jesus through the reading of the OT and the prophecies what he was called to? or was it - also - angels sent to him. Certainly his mother must have prepared him to his mission. What a painful cross to bear for a mother...and what an example she must have set for him in terms of courage and strenght.

I think that the only point that the writer wished to establish; that is, to show that Jesus of Nazareth was descendant from David. As what the Scripture told.

Everyone of these women played an important role and a strong role as well in Jewish history, so of course you would want to mention them as well as the men.

It`s often very hard for us to see how God is working in our lives to help us fulfill our purpose. In these women`s lives and even the scandals they were involved in, God`s work is evident. They were important to Him to be part of the lineage of Jesus and there are very valuable lessons for us to learn by studying how they responded to God`s Will in their lives and how only by loving God and obeying Him could their purpose be fulfilled.
