A lot of coincidental things going on there. Interesting read.

They probably all left after realizing how hopeless this thread was. Sure you have 400 replies but only 5 flags. Usually the good threads worth reading with that many replies tend to have quite a few more flags.
To even suggest that the newborn royalty is anything but an overprivileged rich kid is lunacy. I don't even believe in Christianity and I know that Christ came from nothing. This makes sense too since it helps the poor and downtrodden relate to him. There is no way that the Christ returned would be some rich snotty brat daring to call itself a ruler of people due to the random chance of what family he was born into, because again this is unrelatable to the masses.
Maybe you'll have some credence to your claim if upon the coming of age of this brat, he renounces his family name along with all his worldly possessions and truly follows in the way of Christ. Until then you are just making crazy claims backed by some mildly interesting coincidences.edit on 4-9-2013 by Krazysh0t because: (no reason given)
All scriptures regard attachment to wealth and possessions as a
fetter to the religious life. Attachment promotes greed and avarice,
which draw the mind downward into the mire of self-centered desire.
Therefore the path to Transcendence requires renunciation of wealth and
the desire for its benefits.

Not yet. Did you read the thread? Have you understood the reasons of the title? What it's based on?

in John 18:36 he states: "My kingdom is not of this world". However Jesus does not directly deny being the King of the Jews.
At the end of the Book of Numbers an interesting loophole emerged. A man died without a son, leaving 4 daughters. They came to Moses complaining that they would lose the family land since there was no son to inherit it. Moses sought the Lord Who decreed that if there was no son in a family daughters could inherit family land providing they married within their own tribal clan. In effect they had to marry a cousin to keep the land in the "family." This made sense since land was allotted first by tribe then by clan then by family. Marrying within the clan kept the families in close proximity and preserved the tribal allotment. (Num. 36 1:13)
Now compare the 2 genealogies of Jesus in Matthew 1:1-17 and Luke 3:23-38, and you'll discover that Mary and Joseph were both of the tribe of Judah and descendants of David. Joseph descended through Solomon, the royal but cursed line, while Mary's line was through Solomon's brother Nathan.
Here's the tricky part. Mary had no brothers, and so was entitled to inherit her family's land as long as she married someone also descended from David. Joseph fit the bill and being in the royal line had a claim to the throne, but carried the blood curse. No biological son of his could ever legally qualify as Israel's king, but Joseph could secure Mary's right of inheritance.
When Mary accepted Joseph's offer of marriage she preserved her family's land and also made good her son's claim to the throne of Israel. Jesus was in the royal succession through Joseph but escaped the curse since he wasn't Joseph's biological son. But He was a biological descendant of David's through his mother and therefore of the "house and lineage of David."
This whole issue revolves around the facts that a) God has bound Himself to His own laws and b) He keeps His word; facts that should give you great comfort. God is not a man that He should lie, nor a son of man that He should change His mind (Num. 23:19)... A virgin birth was also required to sidestep the blood curse on the royal line, fulfilling God's promise to David that a biological descendant of his would sit on the throne of Israel forever.

You should learn more about the Bible, then.

I find it impossible to know the will of something that I'm not even sure exists.
Though one can look at just about any religious text in the world and come to the conclusion that I have. Here a link for you to enjoy.
www.unification.net...
Also I do enjoy learning history and notice that an alarming amount of prophets and saints tend to either be born into poverty or renounce their wealth to live in poverty.
You say that William and Kate have to make their son renounce their position and wealth? That isn't something a prophet would allow. He would already have renounced his possessions.
See I don't care how many coincidences and crap you can pull from the bible, this spoiled brat represents everything that religion opposes, therefore your whole argument falls apart at the beginning. If this child wanted to aspire to be Christ-like, he would have to willingly and without being told to do so renounce his wealth first. Until he does that I am calling BS on your whole position. I don't need to read your 22 pages of thread to come to this conclusion when I find the flaws in your argument from the very OP.
