Before reading this, I thought that Mary was of the line of David. It turns out, that her husband, Joseph was. Why is Jesus then of noble descent? If indeed his father is God, then he's just a normal person with God for a father. If Joseph's blood was never in Jesus, then he is not the descendant of the kings of Israel. Make up your mind. Is he divine or is from kingly descendants? Technically, not that I actually believe that God was his father; he can't be of the royal line of David. It's like if my parents got a divorce (god forbid) and one of them married someone of royal descendants, would I be of the royal blood line? NO! Thus, either Jesus was of the royal line but was the biological son of Joseph, or he's divine but simply the son of Mary.
Apart from the fact that I think that it's all bull crap that Jesus is the son of God, I really like what he preaches. Turn the other cheek, if you've already thought about committing adultery, you have already committed it and so forth. It's really good stuff. I can see why the Jews eventually get mad. His preaching goes completely against the Ten Commandments. I also started thinking though, did God want this? Did He want his son going around telling people to stray from the laws that he already put down? Even if his teachings were noble and towards good, was God happy with what he was doing? Is Jesus a rebel son?

You being up a key point an preoccupation in the Gospel of Mark with the lineage issue.
But doesn't David disobey the Commandments and he's obviously liked by God.
