Apologetics: Jesus' genealogy

Text

Problem

1. The two accounts of Jesus' genealogy are both through Joseph, and are a) contradictory and b) show that Jesus wasn't a true descendant of David

2. Jesus was a descendant of Jehoiachin (also spelled Jeconiah), who had been cursed to have no descendants

Resolution

1. Contradictory genealogies
