Question is if they are inspired why would they use Mary in one and Joseph in the other. Why list a genealogy for the mother when all others were of the male ilk? There were many other questions why not answer them?

><>...Hi ireland and welcome...><>

Old Sam is the resident scoffer.....Hi Sam.

You are correct ireland, Matthew records the account of Joseph's lineage for legal purposes. Joseph was as required by law, to formally register his legal guardianship. Jesus was thereby legally the son of Joseph. It also established that Jesus was a legal descendant of David. If Sam had eyes to see he could not have missed that it is recorded
Matt 1:16
16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
Jacob is the father of Joseph

It does not read that Joseph begat Jesus.!!

Luke's geneology records the lineage of Jesus through the the male line of Mary. Mary's Father was Heli who was the son of Joseph.(Another Joseph Sam)
Sam notice that there are no begats!

So there it is both a legal and biological record and right to the Messiahship!

Good to have you here ireland....you too Sam, you provoke us to continue to bring these sometimes,little known truths forward....All praise and glory be to God.!
Have a blessed day
Shalom...><>
