I am sincerely curious about God's motivation in this matter.

For the same reason all the men were chosen in the Bible: their capacity to obey.

Good question. Did he seduce her like Zeus and Leda and they left that part out of the official manuscripts?

God favors giving action items to those humans who will take action as directed.

However, it is not unusual to want to go with the best and Mary was probably as good as it got as far as being faithful (I mean she wrote a song instantly like she was freestyling with Eminem...) along with the need to have a reasonable fiancee. Of course, there was an added stipulation regarding heredity, but a lot of descendants could have been used for that criteria.

tpfkar VERY interesting answer. From that can we extrapolate that God favours 'people' in general for their capacity and willingness to obey? Not quite. God favors giving action items to those humans who will take action as directed. They have to have a need for a capricious bestial Jackboot to tell them what to do. Now, therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known a man by lying with him; but all the women-children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.

Please. What's the fun in visiting a message board if people are going to poorly write the same thing over and over?

Besides, you're better than that. You have a fine palette of words at your disposal. You overuse the words "nasty" and "jackboot." You can do better.

My one-year-old shits out better stuff than that. "sanguinary despot," on the other hand, is excellent. Just don't overuse it. But I would like to put in a special request to see that phrase (and more like it) out of your posts. Thanks, cupcakes! ![](https://s26.postimg.org/mbq0igvix/roll2.gif)

You are correct that men were used in relation to family trees. When a kid was mentioned, he tended to be mention as the son of a father which is why in Mary's lineage, after Joseph, it starts with Jesus' grandfather, Heli (Joseph's dad was Jacob) rather than Mary. Obviously this is not the same thing as women not know who their family is. Matthew's lineage makes it clear that they knew who the mother's were to so they weren't forgotten or anything.
