I don't hear Judy saying that a spirit taught her that the flesh of Jesus
was not genetically related to his ancestors. If she did, then we could
readily judge that this spirit is not of God and direct her to reject this
spirit. I think Judy's perceptions come from her framework of
understanding the Bible. Furthermore, her lack of knowledge about the
physical nature of Jesus does not rise to the level of blasphemy. On the
contrary, it is her sense of protecting Christ from anything that even sounds
blasphemous that causes her to respond the way she does. It is kind of
like if you like somebody so much and think the world of them, and your
assumption of good parents is that they would never raise their voice to their
children and somebody tells them that this person yelled at their child.
Your first response might be, no way, you are mistaken, he would never do
that. Not until that person comes and says, "yes, I did raise my voice"
would you realize that you were wrong. Then you would have some rethinking
to do about whether or not yelling at children is wrong in every
situation.
Many of us know from the Bible that Jesus went into the Temple several
times and kicked out the people who were buying and selling animals for
their sacrifices commanded by Torah. Most people in our culture are
ignorant of the Bible and when this is described to them, they immediately deny
that it could be true. Their perception of Jesus is someone who is so meek
and loving that he never offended anyone, and for someone to characterize him as
acting this way, well, it seems outright blasphemous. I think this also
somewhat describes Judy's motivation for not acknowledging that Jesus's body
was physically descended from David.
