When counting the Generations from Babylon to Christ you can not Include Joseph the husband of marry, he had nothing to do with the genealogy of our Savior, 13 Generations, are you aware of this.
Apparently you are not paying attention. There is a big difference in saying "from Abraham until David were 14 generations" and saying "Enoch also, the seventh from Adam". Go back to my post #64 and consider. Better yet, read the whole thread.

What Jude wrote at Jude 14, of Enoch being the "seventh in line from Adam" is accurate, for counting from Adam is: (1) Adam, (2) Seth, (3) Enosh, (4) Kenan, (5) Mahalalel, (6) Jared, (7) Enoch. I need say no more on this matter, except that Jesus said some will "strain out the gnat but gulp down the camel", finding fault with non-essentials while overlooking major implications.(Matt 23:24)
Where is Abel in your count? Remember we are not talking about lineage. Seventh from Adam means seventh from Adam. Where is Cain in your count? Or Cains descendants?

We are are indeed talking about lineage. Abel is not counted in the generational line or lineage, for Enoch was not born through his lineage. Rather, the generational line from Adam was followed by Seth, who fathered Enosh who fathered Kenan, who fathered Mahalalel, who fathered Jared, who fathered Enoch as the "seventh one in line from Adam".(Jude 14)
What makes you think God cant do. God can do anything. Man and his misunderstanding of Fathers word is what you should ask. Enoch is as reported if you understand the word. I have a post in the Bible Study Forum - titled - Cain who was he ? This will further explain to you why Enoch is 7th.(Jude 14) says Enoch is 7th from Adam. But he is not. What is the deal? Error, mistake, what? I know...spiritualize it. Make it say whatever you want.

Able died Cain is not in the genealogy of Adam. Simple.
Well take the time to count them, remember Joseph the husband of Mary can not be used, he had nothing to do with the conception of Jesus, also Joseph and Mary are of the same GenerationWho are you talking to? (Matt. 1:17) says 'fourteen generations'.

Did you count them after removing Joseph the Husband of Marry?? there is an answer!
Well! all do respect, is it fourteen Generations just because that is what is written in Matthew. Because it say"s so! Jesus was the, AS the Supposed Son of Joseph. Luke 3 verse 23, Even the Author of Luke knows that Joseph is not the Father of Jesus. do the work and count! this is easily solved! well I know for a fact that there is 14 generations, if you look at the genealogy in Luke you will see that there are many Josephs in their lineage, it doesn't add up with the Husband of Mary, that's all! As one could expect Joseph would be a common name because of Joseph in Egypt.
Joseph wasn't the biological father, but he was the legal father, and a generation is a generation. Jesus had legal right to the throne of David through Joseph, and a blood line through Mary. Matthew's gospel was written to show Jesus as the messiah and rightful heir to David's throne.Well! all do respect, is it fourteen Generations just because that is what is written in Matthew.
