Which one is God’s word? Matthew 1 or Luke 3:23? 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). The Bible was assembled about 362 A.D.and over 3000 manuscripts are said to have been rejected including the actual book of Solomon ( who wrote it) and Bartholomew who was a disciple and an eye witness to the resurrected Christ. Why? And yet they put “James” in which is total saved by “works”.. I think many at the counsel could simply not read Hebrew or Greek. They read Latin and didn’t have a clue of what they were doing. If “all scripture in God Breathed”, what is “scripture”? Is my writing scripture? Why wasn’t Bartholomew “scripture”. Who elected those priests to edit the book? If Jesus had written a book — that would ,in my mind, be God’s word. You can worship the Bible if you want , I think it becomes an IDOL if you do.

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.

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’ll just say that to begin with, my answer here again is what I’ve already written to you, and given what you’ve written to this point, there’s not much else to say beyond that. I will say, though, that you pervert the meaning of what happened with the Thief on the Cross, and that that account is only found in the Gospel of Luke, not in either Matthew or John. And from what you’ve said here, I have to conclude you reject God’s truth, so I must warn you to repent and accept Jesus while you can.
