Well let’s first start by comparing the wonderful genealogies in The Holy Bible so you can see to what degree they are reliable:
Well in Matthew genealogy, he cited that between the Exile of Babylon and Jesus there are 14 generations, however if you count them you’ll only find 13!!! Oops!
Where did the fourteenth name disappear?
Further more, Matthew dropped a couple of people's names (Joash, Amaziah, Azariah) to fit the scheme!!!
Well in Luke genealogy, Luke inserts someone by the name of Cainan into the mix, between Arphraxad and Shelah!!!
Really reliable genealogies!!!
Let’s compare in details the genealogies in 1 Chronicles, Matthew, and Luke, and please look and compare the bold name and question marks in the genealogies:
1 Chronicles:
Adam, Seth, Enoch, Kenan, Mahalalel, Jared, Enoch, Methuselah, Lamech, Noah, Shem, Arphraxad, ?????????????, Shelah, Eber, Peleg, Reu, Serug, Nahor, Terah, Abraham, Issac, Israel, Judah, Perez, Hezron, Ram, Amminadab, Nahshon, Salmon, Boaz, Obed, Jesse, David, Solomon/Nathan, Rehoboam, Abijah, Assa, Jehosaphat, Jehoram, Ahaziah, Joash, Amaziah, Azariah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, Manasseh, Amon, Josiah, Jehoiakim, Jehoikain, Shealtiel, Pedaiah, Zerubbabel.
Matthew:
Abraham, Issac, Israel, Judah, Perez, Hezron, Ram, Amminadab, Nahshon, Salmon, Boaz, Obed, Jesse, David, Solomon, Rehoboam, Abijah, Assa, Jehosaphat, Jehoram, Uzzaih, ?????????????????????, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, Manasseh, Amon, Josiah, ????????????????, Zerubbabel, Abiud, Eliakim, Azor, Zadok, Akim, Eliud, Eleazar, Mathan, Jacob, Joseph, Jesus.
Luke:
Adam, Seth, Enoch, Kenan, Mahalalel, Jared, Enoch, Methuselah, Lamech, Noah, Shem, Arphraxad, Cainan, Shelah, Eber, Peleg, Reu, Serug, Nahor, Terah, Abraham, Issac, Israel, Judah, Perez, Hezron, Ram, Amminadab, Nahshon, Salmon, Boaz, Obed, Jesse, David, Nathan, Mattatha, Menna, Melea, Eliakim, Jonam, Joseph, Judah, Simeon, Levi, Metthat, Jorim, Eliezer, Joshua, Er, Elmadam, Cosam, Addi, Melki, Neri, Shealtiel, Zerubbabel, Rhesea, Joanan, Joda, Josech, Semein, Mattathias, Maath, Naggai, Elsi, Nahum, Amus, Mattathias, Joseh, Jannai, Melki, Levi, Heli, Joseph, Jesus.
Notices:
1) Abiud is not mentioned in Chronicles as a son of Zerubbabel!!!
2) If one trace back the years back to Adam, he’ll found out that Adam first appeared in 3796 BC!!!
3) If one trace back the years back to Noah, he’ll found out that the Biblical Universal flood took place around 2000 BC!!! Oops!
I didn’t get enough into details, because things will become really complicated and absurd!!!
I think, that after looking, even superficially, anyone can notice that something is wrong somewhere!!! Oops!
But Luke, in ascending from the Saviour of the world to God himself, speaks of sons either properly or improperly
Proves please!!!
After this observation it is next necessary to consider, that, in the genealogy described by Luke, there are two sons improperly such: i.e. two sons-in-law, instead of two sons.
Proves please!!!
As the Hebrews never permitted women to enter into their genealogical tables, whenever a family happened to end with a daughter, instead of naming her in the genealogy, they inserted her husband, as the son of him who was, in reality, but his father-in-law
Why should we believe that Luke meant Mary with its genealogy? Are we to believe Mary is an exception? Proves please!!!
The two sons-in-law who are to be noticed in this genealogy are Joseph the son-in-law of Heli
Proves please!!!
Just for correction: Please note that there are no parentheses in the Greek text. This is added by the translators, for better or worse. When Luke writes "the son (as was supposed) of Joseph," he goes on to state without a break, "of Heli, of Matthat, of Levi" and so son. The word "of" in the English translations is indicative of a genitive case in the Greek, which amounts to saying in English: " The son (as was supposed) of Joseph, which was the son of Heli, which was the son of Matthat and so on… Clearly, the evidence in this context says this genealogy is based on Joseph and not on Mary. It cannot be, by any stretch of the imagination, the genealogy of Jesus through his mother.
A literal acceptance of Genesis 1 is fairly recent phenomena among Christians dating back to about the middle of the 1800’s.
I thought that Genesis was written by Moses through inspiration, and Moses lived in the 13 century BC!!! How come now that you are talking about 1800's???
The Bible states the earth is round
May be you would have to prove that Isaiah meant circle (Chwug) in the sense of sphere. Plates and disks are circular in shape as well as spheres. Circlres are two dimensional geometric forms, and we still talking about the circular flat earth!
hung in space
You meant on pillars please as in (Job 9:6)
