Should the messiah be the son of David? ~ Cross reference of Mark 12:36 to Psalm 110:1

This is an interesting passage where Jesus quotes [or at least Mark makes him quote] Psalm 110:1 to show that David called Jesus lord. Basis this verse Jesus questions the people why they call him the son of David when David himself in spirit called him lord. I see a contradiction in the Greek texts where on one hand Matthew & Luke waste a lot of ink to prove that Jesus is the promised messiah born in the line of David. Of course, they mess it up by saying that Jesus had no earthly father and was born of a virgin. Luke even gets the promise wrong by tracing his genealogy through Nathan when the promise G-d made was through the David and Solomon. So is this passage a way to fix the genealogy issue by claiming that Jesus is greater than David so there is no need for Jesus to be from the line of David. All Images are links to Google Images.

Did David call Jesus lord? ~ Cross reference of Matthew 26:64 to Psalms 110:1 & Daniel 7:13

The Psalms have been a favorite cross reference spot for the Greek Texts. The reason for this is that through Psalms David is expressing his feelings of Fear, Helplessness, betrayal... to G-d and these fit nicely with the sufferings, betrayal & death of Jesus. You will find very few cross references of passages about Love, Thanks, Awe, Courage that David expresses to G-d because it does not align with the Christian beliefs as for them Jesus is god. Lets see how strong these cross references are to show that Jesus was the lord of David and that he will come in the clouds.  Don't you think it is odd that the Greek text had to pick verses from different parts of Tanakh to make a proof text about Jesus being the messiah?
