Christianity EtcRe: Mattew Vs Luke: A Contradictory Gospel (part2) by Rilwayne001(op): 4:43pm On Apr 19, 2015
Scholar8200:
Now let's see Luke 2:48,". . . And His mother said unto Him, Son, why hast Thou thus dealt with us? Behold Thy father and I have sought Thee sorrowing. Christ did not reject her declaration in fact He went with them and was subject to them. Luke 2:51 " and He went down with them and was subject unto them."
What we ought to ask in this verse of LUKE is that what was the response of jesus to Mary's Lamentation that they (both Mary and Joseph) have been astonishingly searching for him, that he obeyed his mother and went with them doesn't mean that he didn't reject Joseph as his father, let's check the verse again.

MARY: Luk 2:48 "Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been anxiously searching for you."

JESUS: Luk 2:49 "Why were you searching for me?" he asked. "Didn't you know I had to be in my Father's house?"

I don't think anyone reading this verse or anyone at the point where the occurence happened and saw jesus direct response to Mary's question will think it twice that Joseph is his biological father, one will wonder that which other father is he talking about?.



Even the people realized this Matthew 21:9 . . And the multitudes . . . Cried saying Hosanna to the Son of David. David himself prophesied about Him in Psalm 110:1, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit Thou at My Right Hand until I make Thine enemies Thy Footstool.. David did further in Psalm 2(do read through) And if we say He was a Child remember that at that age He astonished the doctors of the law with His understanding and answers. Luke 2:46,47 I believe this is sufficient proof if we'll be sincere.
I'm not saying that he's not david descendant, but through whom was he to come between Solomon and Nathan as Mattew and Luke left us wuth the problem of choosing one from the two. This glaring contadiction is why I opened this thread.


I'd wish you realize that we cant rewrite history and edit the culture of others( as it concerns sons and sons in law in genealogy) A son of Solomon marries a daughter of Nathan, though marriage identifies her with her husband's tribe, her own family tree must still be traced and here they use what's common practice for their culture which you've chosen to ignore.
But sir, they were actually not married when Mary conceived jesus as I pointed out in my last post up there, then saying that their marriage automatically unite their genealogy of Jesus is nothing but fallacy.

In fact, another practice was that a dead man's wife became his brother's to raise up seed for his dead brother (not for himself!) Genesis 38:7,8,9; Deut 25:5,6.I believe the omission of Cainan is what it is- an Omission. In fact there were times when there were omissions Ezra 2:62 .
Okay.

Yes Solomon's son took over just one tribe but the Ultimate fulfilment is Christ Revelations 22:16," I Jesus have sent Mine angel to testify unto you these things in the Churches. I Am the Root and the Offspring of David . . ,"
We know he is an offspring of David, but the question is through whom? what you wanted us to understand is that it wasnt through solomon's son, then I asked you up there to explain this to us 1Ki 11:11,13 So the LORD said to Solomon, "Since this is your attitude and you have not kept my covenant and my decrees, which I commanded you, I will most certainly tear the kingdom away from you and give it to one of your subordinates... Yet I will not tear the whole kingdom from him, [size=15pt] but will give him one tribe for the sake of David my servant and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen. [/size]

The remaining tribe through which we might assume that Jesus is to come aside Solomon is Jeroboam who was given remaining kingdom that was teared away from Solomon.

1Ki 11:31 [b] Then he said to Jeroboam, "Take ten pieces for yourself, for this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: 'See, I am going to tear the kingdom out of Solomon's hand and give you ten tribes.


This definitely mean that, the messiah is to come from either solomon's son or jeroboam. Then we ask where is Nathan tha Luke allegedly add as the next genealogy after david?

Just admit that LUKE tried to deceive us that Joseph wasnt the father of Jesus, hence the reason why he used nathan, and for mattew that used Solomon as the next genealogy after david, then, definitely he was trying to say Joseph had intercourse with Mary and he is the bbiological father of Jesus..or that both genealogy are nothing but another inconsistency in the bible.

Scholar8200:
Yes but it was referred to because God made them one and not even genealogists who understood this could remove one from the family tree of the other. Mary was Joseph's wife and was made one with Joseph
.Mary was Joseph's wife & was made one with Joseph by God (Matt 19:6)
I can now see that you are trying to attach to this, and if this is what you want to hold on to i.e. trying to tell us that since Joseph has gotten married to Mary then Mary's genealogy is the same with Joseph, when actually they werent married when she conceived jesus, they were only engaged Mat 1:18 This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit. then I have no option than to give up on you.


The bolded needs scriptural proof.
Oh! so upon all the scriptural proof I cited, you are still asking me for provehuh Well, I will paste it here again.

Let me now turn to 1 king 11 you used in validating your point above. 1Ki 11:11,13 So the LORD said to Solomon, "Since this is your attitude and you have not kept my covenant and my decrees, which I commanded you, I will most certainly tear the kingdom away from you and give it to one of your subordinates... Yet I will not tear the whole kingdom from him, but will give him one tribe for the sake of David my servant and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen. " << What you seem not to get @the bolded in your comment up there is that, the verse was never saying that the kingdom will be taken away totally from Solomon descendant, but rather a faction will be taken away and will be given to his tribesmen. but this doesn't in anyway stop the promise child from his descendent as highlighted in the underlined.

Prove of this ^^ assertion
Readin the chapter further in 1Ki 11:31,32,34, 35 Then he said to Jeroboam, "Take ten pieces for yourself, for this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: 'See, I am going to tear the kingdom out of Solomon's hand and give you ten tribes. But for the sake of my servant David and the city of Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, he will have one tribe "'But I will not take the whole kingdom out of Solomon's hand; I have made him ruler all the days of his life for the sake of David my servant, whom I chose and who observed my commands and statutes. I will take the kingdom from his son's hands and give you ten tribes. I will [size=15pt] give one tribe to his son so that David my servant may always have a lamp before me in Jerusalem, [/size] the city where I chose to put my Name.

The Onus is now on you to prove to us that the above is not about SOLOMON, secondly the onus is on you to prove to us that the above is about NATHAN.


Isaiah 9:6,7 "For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder and His Name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor. . . Of the increase of His government and peace there shall be no end , upon the throne of David and upon His kingdom ..." Isaiah 11 is another prophesy, there Christ is called A Rod out of the stem of Jesse, David's father.
The underlined refute your arguement above, what you are trying to tell us is that the promise is with David and not solomon, But you neglected my post especially where i cited 1Ki 11:11,13 So the LORD said to Solomon, "Since this is your attitude and you have not kept my covenant and my decrees, which I commanded you, I will most certainly tear the kingdom away from you and give it to one of your subordinates... Yet I will not tear the whole kingdom from him, [size=15pt] but will give him one tribe for the sake of David my servant and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen. [/size]

So sir, can you provide a verse such has the above which is directed at NATHAN or any other son of David? am waiting.


,& not a foreigner like those mentioned; this clarifies it. kindly see Luke 1:35, Matt 1:18,24,25. Pls read those. But also note that Mary said in Luke 2:48. . . "behold your father (Joseph) and I have sought you sorrowing" Jesus did not deny Mary's statement as untrue but gave a reply that was to remind her of His purpose on earth and Heavenly Father just as God becomes our Father when we give our lives to Christ and we still do not deny our earthly father. Indeed it appears you are overlooking the culture where an in-law was recognised for genealogical purpose. Well, it has been explained in previous posts. But ignoring what can be substantiated, if you'll be objective in ur search, I'm afraid lives us going in circles. All others after Solomon did not inherit the promise because the original scope was all Israel 1 Chronicles 17:7,11,12 not just a tribe. Note that angel Gabriel said Luke 1:32
Prove to to us with scriptural backing that another son of David apart from solomon is the line through which Jesus will come.

"HE shall be Great , and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto Him the Throne of His father David (not Solomon) and He shall reign over the house of Jacob ( note the scope, not Judah or Jerusalem alone)
The bolded is your opinion, and your opinion doesn't count until you cite scripture to support it. I have here my scriptural backing to my assertion
1Ki 11:36 I will give one tribe to his son so that [size=15pt] David my servant may always have a lamp before me in Jerusalem, the city where I chose to put my Name. [/size] << This verse is directed at SOLOMON's son and not solomon himself.

I'll like to see your comment on this^^

The bolded is not my argument rather my focus is on the marriage btwn the two by which they became one.
They were not married before Mary conceived Jesus, if this is the straw you want to attach this arguement to, then i have no option than to give up on you. '

Scholar8200:
Genesis 2:24,Matthew 19:6 states that after marriage, the couple are not two but one flesh. Bear this in mind.
Sir Genesis 2:24 was talking about Adam and eve, and Jesus was refering to it in Mattew 19:6 to those that are him about divorcing ones wife Mat 19:3 Some Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?" Jesus replied them that what God has joined together let no man put asunder, that the plan of God from the begining since Eve removed from part of Adam, then when husbad and wife are married, they are expected to remain as one. But there is a clause which jesus himself acknowledge Mat 19:9 I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery." <<<< Therefore, we should understand that the 2 verses above have nothing to do with genealogy of both husband and wife but about UNITY IN MARRIAGE, hence, the reason why jesus makes us understand that we can Divorce our wife if there is MARITAL UNFAITHFULLNESS.

The issue you have raised is dealt with in the principle stated in Numbers 36:8,7" ...every daughter that possesses an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her father...so shall not the inheritance ...of Israel remove from tribe to tribe"
We must understand that this verse was directed to a particular individual Num 36:6 This is what the LORD commands for Zelophehad's daughters: They may marry anyone they please as long as they marry within the tribal clan of their father.
But even if we are to take the verse into consideration, we have to understand that Joseph was not the father on Jesus, and jesus which was to come must be from the lineage of SOLOMON, mary is not a descendant of solomon, and that automatically makes it void.

So both genealogies are valid since the couple were made one after marriage.
No, they are not valid.

And since women are not normally mentioned in most genealogies,
The fact that you also admit that woman are sometimes mentioned in genealogy makes the above claim invalid because, there should be no reason why Joseph who happened not to be his father should be used as his direct descendant. Lemme ask you Mr. Scholar, who is the father of Jesus christ, Joseph? God the father? or the holy spirit?

it's only logical that her husband is used.
It isnt, it can only be logical when the husband is the biological father, but in this case Joseph is not his biological father, Perhaps he actually his According to some xtian sect believe.

Besides why will joseph (but for the admonition of the angel) try to reject Mary if he was responsible for the pregnancy?
I am not sharing in the view that Joseph was responsible for her pregnancy, but some xtian sect does.

David himself warned Solomon that the promise was conditional in 1Chronicles 28:9 also see 1Kings 9:4-9," If ]thou will walk before me as David thy father walked,in integrity of heart and uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee...Then[ will I establish the throne of thy kingdom forever. but ]if [ye shall at all turn...and will not keep my commandments... then will I cut off Israel...and this house which I have hallowed for My Name will I cast out of My Sight." Well Solomon went after idols after some years had passed and God's verdict (after Solomon rejected God's repeated warnings 1Kings 11;9,10) 1 Kings 11:11 ," Wherefore the Lord said to Solomon, ...I will surely rend the kingdom from thee..." Since the condition of an established throne forever over Israel (not a fraction thereof viz Jerusalem and Judah who were David's tribesmen)was violated, [b] the promise was forfeited by Solomon being the proximate fulfilment.
Indeed Solomon was warned not to go astray in other for him not to loose the promise, but indeed Solomon went astray but does that make his descendant lose the promise? Lemme start from 2 Samuel 7:14,15,16..35 I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men,and with the stripes of the children of men: But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee. And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.... And now, O LORD God, the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, establish it for ever, and do as thou hast said.

Let me now turn to 1 king 11 you used in validating your point above. 1Ki 11:11,13[b] So the LORD said to Solomon, "Since this is your attitude and you have not kept my covenant and my decrees, which I commanded you, I will most certainly tear the kingdom away from you and give it to one of your subordinates...

I will [size=15pt] give one tribe to his son so that David my servant may always have a lamp before me in Jerusalem, [/size] the city where I chose to put my Name. <<<< The underlined says it all, so the question is, Solomon genealogy is portrayed above to bear the genealogy of the messiah after david and not Nathan that you have wanted us to believe. Then in 1Ki 11:43 Then he rested with his fathers and was buried in the city of David his father. And Rehoboam his son succeeded him as king <<< the underlined make Rehoboam the next genealogy after solomon.

I believe this automatically put to rest your assertion that Nathan the greatgrand father of MARY might have been the lineage from which jesus came. There are escape route for you here, 1) It is either you admmit that, Joseph was actually the biological father of jesus, hence, the reason why mattew relate his genealogy with Solomon or 2) that Mattew and Luke genealogy are not valid.

He was taken to the Temple in Jerusalem for dedication Luke 2:21-25 eight days after His birth but Luke 2:39 shows they went back home after the dedication.
So, Is Jerusalem or Nazareth part of Egypt?

Jesus was born in bethlehem >>> after 8 days he was taken to jerusalem for presentation >>> and from there they return to the city of Nazareth . Don't forget that this is the verse that followed their journey Luk 2:40-41 And the child grew and became strong; he was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him. Every year his parents went to Jerusalem for the Feast of the Passover. <<< as we can see, there was nothing like fleeing/fled to egypt in these verses, reading the chapter further, one will notice that Luke was narrating the story like he was with them, especially where he said Jesus got lost on their way from jerusalem and he was found where he was questioning and answering question from teachers. So, one will wonder how come Mr. Luke was never aware of Mr. mattew's claim of jesus fleeing to Egypthuh


Now there were more striking occurrences that Jesus did which were not mentioned John 20:30,31 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book. . .
But, atleast they all acknowledged that he performed miracle isn't it?

The purposes of this thread is, there are some astounding occurence(s) that allegedly occured during his time. but the silence of one book upon matters related in the other, and the disagreement that is to be found among them, implies that they are the production of some unconnected individuals,


Point is that not all occurrences were penned down. Besides the writers of the 4 gospels had different audiences in mind. Matthew's audience was the Jews , Mark to the Romans, Luke to the Greeks , while John wrote to the Church (same as other books he was inspired to write). Hence Matthew's detailing of occurrences and prophecies was because his audience were very familiar with same.

When I said adoption it was in the sense of recognition for genealogical purposes hence the 3 reasons I gave hence the example below might not be applicable.
It is applicable.

but he was Mary's husband and both were of David's lineage.
Then Mary's genealogy should have been used directly and not that of her husband since Joseph is not the direct father of jesus, Joseph did not have sexual relations with Mary, therefore Jesus was not related to Joseph, and not a
descendant of Joseph, So, using Joseph’s genealogy here is another inconsistency. Perhaps because Joseph is the true father of Jesus christ, we have christians who hold the view that Joseph was the one that actually impregnated Mary.
Cc: Sukkot.


of course not! I meant Jews or anyone who might have wanted to reject Jesus' Messiah-ship( on the Son of David prophecy] because of not being Joseph's son would be convinced since Mary was from same lineage.
Then definitely Luke genealogy might is not true since is aim is to deceive the jews by making it look like Joseph was the biological father Jesus, again maybe because Joseph is his true biological father.

note that this prophecy was given when David was asked to defer from building a Temple (2 Samuel 7:12-16) and the promise of Throne being established forever was to David.
Not it wasnt just David but Solomon as well.


Solomon did all the above stated as a proximate fulfilment.. Also note that the promise was to a seed from David's bowels not necessarily Solomon.
It is definitely solomon.

1Ch 22:7-10 David said to Solomon: "My son, I had it in my heart to build a house for the Name of the LORD my God. But this word of the LORD came to me: 'You have shed much blood and have fought many wars. You are not to build a house for my Name, because you have shed much blood on the earth in my sight. But you will have a son who will be a man of peace and rest, and I will give him rest from all his enemies on every side. His name will be Solomon, and I will grant Israel peace and quiet during his reign. He is the one who will build a house for my Name. He will be my son, and I will be his father. And I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.' <<< 2 Samuel 7:13
He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever.

If this was spoken to Solomon, then it would be a different thing. Also 2 Chronicles 7:17-22 shows that, it was highly conditional in Solomon's case because it was an inherited promise which he qualified for as one of David's seed but which was not without conditions to him[Solomon].
Solomon is is the only qualified descendant of David to build the temple.

But Elizabeth,John's mum lived in," the hill country, in a city of Judah" Luke 1:39 not the same place Jesus was born.
Not just in bethlehem alone: Mat 2:16 When Herod realized that he had been outwitted by the Magi, he was furious, and he gave orders to kill all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity who were two years old and under, in accordance with the time he had learned from the Magi.

The events in Luke 2:22-40 occurred eight days after the birth of Jesus. The order of Herod could not have come immediately after Jesus'birth because the wisemen went off to search for Christ hence Herod would have given them a space of a year etc And that's why the execution order was children under 2 years meaning ample time was given to the wisemen.
The point is why should it belongs altogether to the book of
Matthew; not one of the rest mentions anything about it. Had such a circumstance been true, the universality of it must have made it known to all the writers, and the thing would have been too striking to have been omitted by any.

If you think the slaughter of infants, journey to Egypt was a lie what then do we say of the old testament prophecies quoted by the writers- Jeremiah 31:15; Hosea 11:1? If the death of infants seem too cruel to have happened recall what Pharaoh did to Israel's male babies!
Well, I have no business with this^^…

Scholar8200:
Well op, the genealogy from Matthew traces from Joseph's side directly,
Well, here is where we run into our first problem. How does one inherit tribal lineage according to jewish law? From his father.

Who was Jesus’ father? according to the same text, Joseph did not have sexual relations with Mary, therefore Jesus was not related to Joseph, and not a descendant of Joseph, he was going to divorce Mary because she was pregnant. So, you can’t use Joseph’s genealogy.


while the genealogy traced from Mary's. The name of Joseph was mentioned in Luke's genealogy simply because he was Mary's husband. It was a practise in Jewish (Israel culture) to adopt one's son in law as a son (The internet is available for your personal research on this). I feel this practise was to ensure that: 1.Every tribe's claims to their inheritance will be preserved, and 2) Each family with daughters will not be cut off once their daughters get married. 3) Genealogy can be traced from women through their husband's adoption into the woman's family tree.
Well, I just made use of the internet and here is what I got: " One cannot inherit tribal lineage through adoption. Here’s an example… Let’s say that Yonatan is a Cohen (of the priestly line) and he marries Rivkah and they have a son named Yosef. Yosef is a Cohen (he inherited it by birth from his father), and when he grows up he can serve in the Temple. Now, let’s say that Yosef’s father Yonatan dies. Can Yosef still serve in the Temple when he grows up? Absolutely – he’s still a Cohen – still of the priestly line. Now let’s say his mother Rivkah marries Shlomo, from the tribe of Yehuda. Shlomo can one day serve as a King. And let’s say that Shlomo loves Yosef and decides to adopt him. Is Yosef still a Cohen? Yes. Can Yosef still serve in the Temple? Yes. Can he serve as a king? No. Even though his adopted father is from the tribe of Yehuda, Yosef is still a Cohen. Adoption doesn’t change a fact of birth.

So, if Joseph is not Jesus’ father, then his genealogy is pointless. It’s a red herring. It doesn’t make a difference, and it doesn’t matter."



Luke's perspective was complementary else any one can reject Christ saying,
I don't get you here. Are you trying to say we should disregard luke?

since Joseph was not his biological father, then (supposing Mary was not from David's lineage) He is not the Messiah because the Latter was called the Son of David in prophecy.
If we are to go by the other genealogy, which is attributed to Mary that actually presents an additional problem applying to the last qualification.

Was Jesus a descendant of David through his son Solomon? Since Joseph is not Jesus’ father, let’s look at Mary’s genealogy. According to Luke 3:31, Mary is a descendant of David through Nathan, not Solomon.

According to 2 Samuel 7:12 – 13 He must be a direct male descendant of King David and King Solomon, his son “And when your days (David) are fulfilled, and you shall sleep with your fathers, I will set up your seed after you, who shall issue from your bowels, and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build a house for my name, and I will make firm the throne of his kingdom forever…”

2) [size=15pt] Jesus, Joseph, Mary in Egypthuh [/size]
The story of Herod destroying all the children under two years old, belongs altogether to the book of Matthew; not one of the rest mentions anything about it. Had such a circumstance been true, the universality of it must have made it known to all the writers, and the thing would have been too striking to have been omitted by any.

Mathew 2 verse 13 – 16: Now when they had departed. Behold an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, rise take the child and his mother and flee to Egypt and remain there till I tell you, for Herod is about to search for the child and destroy him. and he rose and took the child and his mother by night and departed for Egypt and remained there until the death of Herod.

[size=15pt] According to Luke, Jesus never stepped into Egypy [/size]

Luke 2 v 22- 40: ( a long story, I cant type) Note: following the birth of Jesus, Joseph and Mary remained in the area of Jerusalem for the presentation (about 40 days) and then returned to Nazareth without ever going to Egypt. There was no slaughter of the infants.


This writer of Mattew tells us, that Jesus escaped this slaughter because Joseph and Mary were warned by an angel to flee with him unto Egypt; but he forgot to make any provision for John, who was then under two years of age. John, however, who stayed behind, fared as well as Jesus, who fled; and, therefore, the story circumstantially belies itself...

Christianity EtcMattew Vs Luke: A Contradictory Gospel (part2) by Rilwayne001(op): 12:40pm On Apr 18, 2015
1) [size=15pt] The Genealogy of Jesus [/size]
The Gospel of Mark was written first, yet omits the genealogy required to prove that Jesus was foretold in Deuteronomy 18:18.

The first chapter of Matthew begins with giving a genealogy of Jesus Christ; and in the third chapter of Luke, there is also given a genealogy of Jesus Christ. Did those two agree, it would not prove the genealogy to be true, because it might, nevertheless, be a fabrication; but as they contradict each other in every particular, it proves falsehood absolutely. If Matthew speaks truth, Luke speaks falsehood, and if Luke speaks truth, Matthew speaks falsehood; and as there is no authority for believing one more than the other, there is no authority for believing either; and if they cannot be believed even in the very first thing they say and set out to prove, they are not entitled to be believed in any thing they say afterward. Truth is a uniform thing; and as to inspiration and revelation, were we to admit it, it is impossible to suppose it can be contradictory. Either, then, the men called apostles are impostors, or the books ascribed to them has been written by other persons and fathered upon them, as is the case with the Old Testament.

The book of Matthew gives, chap 1 ver 6, a genealogy by name from David up through Joseph, the husband of Mary, to Christ; and makes there to be twenty-eight generations. The book of Luke gives also a genealogy by name from Christ, through Joseph, the husband of Mary, down to David, and makes there to be forty-three generations; besides which, there are only the two names of David and Joseph that are alike in the two lists. I here insert both genealogical lists, and for the sake of perspicuity and comparison, have placed them both in the same direction, that is from Joseph down to David.

Genealogy according to Matthew.
1) Jesus Christ
2 Joseph
3 Jacob
4 Matthat 5 Eleazar 6 Eliud 7 Achim 8 Sadoc 9 Azor 10 Eliakim 11 Abiud 12 Zorobabel 13 Salathiel 14 Jechonias 15 Josias 16 Amon 17 Manasses 18 Ezekias 19 Achaz 20 Joatham 21 Ozias 22 Joram 23 Josaphat 24 Asa 25 Abia
26 Roboam
27 Solomon,
28 David*

NOTE: In Mat 1:17 Thus there were fourteen generations in all from Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to the Christ. . After counting the genealogy from exile to christ, I noticed that it was thirteen generations shocked shocked and not fourteen as mattew claimed up here, and that makes it another glaring contradiction.

Genealogy according to Luke.
1) jesus Christ,
2 Joseph,
3 Heli
4 Matthan, 5 Levi, 6 Melchi, 7 Janna, 8 Joseph, 9 Mattathias, 10 Amos, 11 Naum, 12 Esli, 13 Nagge, 14 Maath, 15 Mattathias, 16 Semei, 17 Joseph, 18 Juda, 19 Joanna, 20 Rhesa, 21 Zorobabel, 22 Salathiel, 23 Neri, 24 Melchi, 25 Addi, 26 Cosam, 27 Elmodam, 28 Er 29 Jose 30 Eliezer 31 Jorim 32 Matthat 33 Levi 34 Simeon 35 Juda 36 Joseph 37 Jonan 38 Eliakim 39 Melea 40 Menan 41 Mattatha
42 Nathan
43 David

Now, if these men, Matthew and Luke, set out with a falsehood between them as these two accounts show they do) in the very commencement of their history of Jesus Christ, and of whom and of what he was,

What authority (as I have before asked) is there left for believing the strange things they tell us afterward?

If they cannot be believed in their account of his natural genealogy, how are we to believe them when they tell us he was the son of God ?

If they lied in one genealogy, why are we to believe them in the other?

If his natural genealogy be manufactured, which it certainly is, why are we not to suppose that his celestial genealogy is manufactured also, and that the whole is fabulous?

Can any man of serious reflection hazard his future happiness upon the belief of a story naturally impossible, repugnant to every idea of decency, and related by persons already detected of falsehood?
