Never said that was not good.
Now, I want you to look me in the metaphorical eye and tell me that the list of begettors in Genesis is of exactly equal value to Matt 25:
Go on, I dare you!!!!
Perhaps you could benefit from a glass of Ruby Port and chill a bit.
I will tell you to your face that the entire word of God is of equal value. It is the WORD OF GOD. How dare you denigrate any of it.
It was the custom to hop over generations of people when discussing genealogy. You will find that the list of begettors up to Abraham's time has holes and gaps as well as Matthew. Same with Luke who approached the genealogy in a different way. It doesn't make one right, wrong or better than the other. It was the author's prerogative.
I am sure Matthew knew what was in the book of Genesis. If he wanted to copy it exactly he wouldn't have had much problems-even without a word processor. If someone wished to forge the book of Matthew, then they didn't do a good job now did they? If the church fathers believed that there were problems with the Matthew genealogy then they would have tossed it in the garbage with all the rest of the gnostic writings. Fact is, there is nothing wrong with the Matthew genealogy.
