And the word for cousin is?
And how many Mary’s are mentioned in Scripture?
And Scripture does not say that James etc....are the sons of Mary. Does kin refer only to the immediate family, or does it include cousins?
And there is no word for “son-in-law”, so when Scripture says Joseph is the descendent of David in both lineages, it must be because there is no word for son-in-law and it’s Mary’s dad not Joseph’s.
Trying to have it both ways.
There is a diametric difference between Luke and Matthew’s lineage. One of them must be lying or not inspired by the Holy Spirit. Which one is it?
That is not the question here...
Why do you insist on accepting/using writings that directly contradict what Scripture says to support a belief that is not clearly stated in Scripture?
Is Matthew or Luke in error?
>>That is not the question here...<<
Yes, it is. You said they both lead to Joseph. The one says from Nathan, the other says from Solomon. You can’t have it both ways.
>>Why do you insist on accepting/using writings that directly contradict what Scripture says to support a belief that is not clearly stated in Scripture?<<
It completely supported scripture unless you assert that either Matthew or Luke are in error. You can’t have it both ways.
