Bible traces Jesus's lineage back to Adam, who begot who and ages

I had to check that one because I thought it was Joseph to Adam, not Jesus to Adam. Because in Luke chapter 1 it’s made abundantly clear that Jesus is not Joseph’s child, but Mary conceived without Joseph only with the Holy Spirit impregnating her.

I checked the earlier version of Luke (Marcion’s Evangelion) who I remember didn’t include chapters 1 and 2 of Luke but it also doesn’t include the chapter 3 genealogy.

So that means some scribe inserted the genealogy piece in chapter 3 and most likely a different scribe inserted chapters 1 and 2 that contradicted that chapter 3 material. Jesus can’t be both a biological son of Joseph and conceived of a virgin. What do you think is going on there?

I was giving you the correct answer in jeopardy format. I wasn’t expecting a response.

Every society has a flood story.

Not every, but many do.

The oldest flood myths come from the very first major civilizations in Egypt, Mesopotamia, India, and China. Those peoples were some of the first to settle down, domesticated animals, begin farming (to make beer), and develop writing systems.

Not coincidentally, those first civilizations who pioneered writing and preservation of myths and stories were located adjacent to major rivers who sometimes overflowed their banks. The Nile, the Tigris and Euphrates, etc.

OK, if that's my fate, according to you, why shouldn't I go all Charles Manson?

Some of his earliest work related to the two-dozen finch species in the Galapagos Islands, which bore no resemblance to one another.

The two main theories I know of are the following:

The Mary Theory: This suggests Matthew records Joseph’s line (the royal line), while Luke records Mary’s line (the biological line), using Joseph’s name as a legal placeholder for the family unit.

The Legal Theory:
Matthew (The Royal/Legal Line): He traces the line of succession to the throne. He follows the "King" line (through Solomon) to prove Jesus is the legal heir to King David. It is the lineage of Joseph’s legal rights.
Luke (The Biological/Universal Line): He traces the physical bloodline. He follows a different branch of David’s family (through Nathan). By going all the way back to Adam, he shows Jesus is a biological human related to all of humanity, not just the Jews.

I’m sure there are other theories as well.
