this is a dump, for someone, i don't really get it
I'm curious how this claim originated. Women are not included in genealogies since tribal affiliations are exclusively masculine.
Besides the begetting of the person was always from male "seed" (sperm) which the female lacked
The female merely nurtured the developing offspring provided that she was "fertile" and not "barren."
Also Mary is no mentioned in either Matthew's or Luke's genealogies.
It stems purely from an attempt within mainstream Christianity to make up forty-two generations because according to the purely physical minded understanding of the passage there cannot be counted forty-two generations, (while the passage clearly states that there are indeed forty-two generations). It is amazingly profound that mainstream Christianity cannot even make it past the first chapter of the first book in the N/T without a contradiction in their theology.
The scribes of old had a rather peculiar way of keeping track of generations. For example the genealogy in the fifth chapter of Genesis is incomplete, another in the first nine chapters of 1Chronicles is incomplete and so is Ezra 7:1-5.
That kind of record-keeping makes no sense whatsoever to the academic mind, but when encountering ancient cultures, it's best not to jump to conclusions.
BTW: I have no clue why you insist upon putting the blame on "mainstream Christianity" when both the old and new testaments of the Bible were written by Jews. But it's certain you will make no progress in your attempt to discredit the Bible by jousting windmills.
Was I indeed discrediting "the Bible"? Where did I say anything about discrediting the scripture? There are exactly forty-two generations in the first chapter of Matthew the way it stands right now, (as I read it).
Matt 1:16 and Yaakob [39] produced Yoseph [40], the andra-gaber-Maryah, of whom was produced Yeshua [41], who is λεγομενος-laying-forth-speaking Meshiah [42].
Testimony is Spirit.
QUESTION Even so, what is your reference?
For the assertion, "Testimony is Spirit", these are the two most emphatic statements:
John 6:62-63
62 What then if you should behold the Son of Man ascending up to where he was before?
63 It is the Spirit that quickens; the flesh profits nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are Spirit, and they are Life.
John 12:47-48
47 And if anyone hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but that the world might be delivered.
48 He that rejects me, and receives not my words, has one that judges him: the Logos-Word that I have spoken, that one shall judge him in the last day.
So then, by the Testimony of Yeshua himself, the Trinitarian "God-Man" human sacrifice dogma just went out the window and into the ditch. And this is also why they cannot count forty-two generations in the Matthew genealogy; for their own Trinitarian blinders will not allow them to see it, (and thus it is indeed an issue deeply rooted theology, that is to say, bias, theological bias, which corrupts their own readings and renderings of all texts).
so, this is several, 3 i think, people, who all have some truth, interspersed and finishing with daqq, wherein i am not entirely grasping his point, but he is currently my Right Pastor, so, any comments appreciated.
