Jesus Genealogy In Matthew
Church folks, what’s your best guess on this one?
Looking at Matthew 1:6 and Luke 3:21
Two questions:
(1) Matthew and Luke each gave a genealogy of Jesus, and both put Joseph as Jesus’ father — but don’t church folks claim god is Jesus’ father? And that Joseph was not married to Mary when Jesus was born?
(2) Also, Mathew’s and Luke’s genealogies of Jesus do not agree, don’t even come close — most of the names are different.
Moreover, of the number of generations from David to Jesus, Matthew listed 28 and Luke listed 43.
Which genealogy is the correct one?
Since they can’t both be right, looks like we found one thing false in the Bible already today.
Finding one thing false in the Bible, that’s not a good precedent would you say?
Church folks, especially fervent Bible people, can I get your best guess on this?
.
No, I composed the question myself, after finding the contradiction in a list of 1,452
biblical contradictions in the skeptics’ annotated website.
My best guess — I would put money on it !!! — is that you copied this question and didn’t even think about it yourself. What nobody denies is that the Church knew both geneaologies BEFORE it declared eithe Gospel to be canonical. That means that they couldn’t have had the same understanding you do. That is just common sense.
They didn’t have to make either one Scripture !! Many Gospels didn’t make it.
Lay off the cut-and-paste, it makes you look like a Guineess Book Ass.
