>>There is truth in the Bible, but there is some errors also.<<
Show us one.
MAT 1:16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
LUK 3:23 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli.
Ummm.... who's the father of Joseph? Want more?

Luke 3:23 When He began His ministry, Jesus Himself was about thirty years of age, being, as was supposed, the son of Joseph, the son of Eli, Do you not understand the words "as was supposed"? Would you "suppose" they all knew that He was the Son of God or would you "suppose" they just "assumed" He was the son of Joseph as would be normal? The "as was supposed" is clearly there to indicate the thoughts of most of the people which would be natural. Are you that desperate to try to conjure up errors in scripture?

Yes please. What are ALL of the inconsistencies that have solidified your belief that only bits and pieces of the Holy Bible, written in and written by The Holy Spirit of God, are factual and true.
Perhaps, if you do this work, someone here can become a non-believer in the veracity of the entire Holy Bible, the written Word of God just as you are. Think of that! New StormPrepper disciples on FR!

Your alleged problem concerning Joseph's fathers resolves easily, as a natural consequence of the law of Moses and typical genealogical practice in Israel at the time:
Moreover, in the genealogy, Heli is listed as the father of Joseph, who had 2 daughters. The first is Mary, and the other was Zebedees unnamed wife (Matthew 27:56; John 19:25). When there were no sons to preserve the inheritance in accordance with the Law of Moses (Numbers 27:111; Numbers 36:112), the husband would become the son upon marriage to keep up the family name. Therefore, Joseph, when he married Mary, became the son of Heli according to the Law of Moses and could legally be included in the genealogy.

These are trivial "discrepancies." Anyone who actually studies the text and the background and works up a little legitimate sweat in trying to sort it out honestly is going to find zero substantial contradictions.
Peace,
