Bible Question (short): Jesus lineage through Mary!!! |
Question (full): Many thanks Jalek! The scripture you just mentioned conflicts Matt 1:16. Matthew writes that Joseph was the son of Jacob - who can be clearly traced back to King Solomon, who God chose over his elder brother Nathan. Luke now talks about Joseph being the son of Eli - who can be traced back to Nathan the legal heir to the Davidic throne I'd say. Both Matthew and Luke talk about the same lineage of Jesus, tracing it back to two different lines of ancestors. How is that possible? Jesus!!! My head is throbbing here... You could have answered my last question in a way by alleging that Luke was referring to Mary though mentioning the head of houses. Suppose I want to believe you, but where in the bible is your assertion documented? I could be missing something here or reading a very misleading bible translation and I desperately need your assistance. Much blessings? |
