Why is it relevant what the linage of Joseph was even though these two obviously contradict each other. ( don’t go there that one is “Mary” — doesn’t say that).

Luke has fourteen more generations than Matthew between David and Christ, all different people. There are just two possible lines here, one from Joseph and one from Mary. The book of Matthew presents Christ as a king and descends through Solomon. This gives Christ the legal title the throne of David. The book of Luke presents Christ a man and goes all the way back to Adam. It descends through Nathan, Solomon's brother. Notice the legal title comes through adoption but the blood line is through Mary.

If “all scripture in God Breathed”, what is “scripture”? Is my writing scripture?

That's a good question, check your attitude if you want scripture to answer you. Christ responded to only one of the thieves on the cross.

Gal 3:8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
The word Scripture is connected to Christ. In this verse we have scripture preaching to Abraham before the Bible was written.

I have heard all those arguments. None of them hold up. You have my opinion based on fact.
