Jesus: Son of Joseph or Son of God?

[Vic]

Many wish to eliminate the deity of Jesus Christ, some in subtle ways and some blatantly. Many try to focus on Joseph being Jesus' father.

Joseph was husband of Mary. Those who did not believe or understand who He was, thought in the flesh, and could not understand that Joseph had nothing to do with Jesus' birth. Many use the following:

Matthew 1:16-19 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

Mat 13:55 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? 56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?

Luk 2:33 And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.

Luk 4:22 And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son?

Joh 1:45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

Joh 6:42 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?

The verses used are all in reference to Jesus Christ, "SON of God". Many within HR and those who reject Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, look at the 'son of Joseph' aspect because they reject who He is. By saying Joseph is His father or son of Joseph, they can subtly and not so subtly shift the beliefs to thinking in terms of Jesus' father was Joseph, hence a man like any other. He might be a prophet, a sage, a messenger from God, but to them, He is just a man.

That of course goes against many many foundational scriptures of who Jesus is.

Mat 14:33 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.

Joh 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Many are sourcing their beliefs and denial of the divinity of Christ, from those who reject Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord and God manifest in the flesh, and who also reject the NT.

What would be the reason that makes someone think Christians should use the writings and beliefs of those who reject Jesus Christ and the New Testament?
