Hi all---------------
As every one here on the BT forum knows,the bible is inerrant,the perfect Word of God.There are no mistakes to be found within it's pages,so when we come across statements that seem to be inaccurate,that stick out,you can believe that there is a reason and significance that was planned by the book's inspirer---God.The same is true for any mathematics and accounting in the text.With that in mind lets look at something...........
Matt 1:17 "So all the generations from Abraham to David are FOURTEEN generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are FOURTEEN
generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon into CHRIST are FOURTEEN generations."
Now if you take out your bible and read the names you will find that something is amiss.We should end up with 42 generations with Christ being the 42nd name on the list.But He isn't.Christ is infact number 41.There is one generation missing.So who is number 42?Who is THIS generation?Who are Christ's decendents and bare His name?Listen Up CHRISTains I am talking about you.
Isaiah 53;8-10 "He was taken from prison and from judgment: and WHO SHALL DECLARE HIS GENERATION? for He was cut off out of the land of the living: for the
transgression of my people was He stricken. And He made His grave with the wicked, and with the rich in His death; because He had done no violence, neither
was any deceit in His mouth. Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him, He hath put Him to grief, when thou shalt make His soul an offering for sin, HE SHALL
SEE HIS SEED, HE SHALL PROLONG HIS DAYS, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand."
Psalm22:30-31 ''A seed shall serve Him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for A GENERATION. They shall come, and shall DECLARE HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS unto a people
that shall be born, that He hath done this."
I Peter 2:9 . . . "BUT YE ARE A CHOSEN GENERATION, a royal
priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvelous light."
Now here is the icing on the cake-----Rev.11:15----"And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of OUR LORD AND OF HIS CHRIST; and He shall reign forever and ever."
Now if Jesus is LORD then WHO is His Christ?-------Psalms 2--"Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord,
and against His anointed (Christ), saying, Let us break THEIR bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh; the
Lord shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. Yet have I set my king upon my HOLY HILL
OF ZION. I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, THOU ART MY SON: this day have I begotten thee. Ask of me, and I shall give thee the
heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. THOU SHALT BREAK THEM WITH A ROD OF IRON: THOU SHALT
DASH THEM IN PIECES LIKE A POTTER'S VESSEL."
The annointed,the overcomer,the few,the chosen,the body OF CHRIST----this is the 42nd generation

Bradigans:
I hope this is permissible. Just sharing a little bit of dialogue below I was having with someone else over this issue.
bradigans: How's everything going?
bradigans: I had a question in regard to the geneology of Jesus in Matthew 1:1-16 compared to the one in Luke 3:23-31. They're different. Someone told me that one was the line leading up to Jesus through Joseph, and the other one was the line leading up to Jesus through Mary.
bradigans: But, I was wondering, Jesus really didn't have a physical line but was concieved of the Holy
bradigans: Ghost.
lawriedms: Dear sir, I am Ophir, son of Mr. Deva Evu Lawrie. Kindly contact him tomorrow morning. As of your question, it is true that Jesus does not have a physical line and so both the geneologies are wrong. As well, the geneology in Matthew leads to Joseph, which even according to the Scriptures is wrong, since after the King named Jechoniah, according to the curse by God, there can be no heirs to his throne. As far as the geneology according to Luke is concerned, it leads to Mary, which also cannot be taken into account, since women do not have the seed. Also taking into account she was related to Zechariah the high priests wife, she should have been of Levi tribe; so Jesus also cannot be called as Son of David and Son of Man, since He was born of the Holy Ghost.
bradigans: Thanks dearly for your time and answer, and God bless...
lawriedms: Thank you and bye!
