The GENEALOGY of JESUS CHRIST ( Y'SHUA+ ha MASHIYACH+ ) in Matthew 1:16 and Luke 3:23 ARE RECONCILED through GRAMMAR !

New Testament scholars have debated the Genealogy of JESUS CHRIST for decades and perhaps, for centuries. 

The conflict comes from the discrepancy between Luke 3:23 . . .

And JESUS HIMSELF+  began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli,

[ the words in blue are not in the Greek but added to the English translation. ] 

Here is the literal translation: 

Mary's HUSBAND... or... Adopted Father ?

Sometimes the scholars can identify with  the Apostle's epithet..."your much learning hath made thee mad!" [i.e., confused, out of touch with reality].

Such may be the case here . . . if we stop at Matthew 1:16.  But if we read further to verse 1:18, we discover "who" Yosip really is . . . and he is NOT Mariam's "father." 

 Now the birth of Y'SHUA+, the MASHIYACH was like this: While Maryam His+ mother was betrothed to Yosip, without them being united, she was found pregnant by the RUACH haKODESH.

GALATIANS 2:19 in the Aramaic TEXT: Count the "LAWS" . . . Are We DEAD to The LAW ?

Apostle Paul by El Greco

TWO , yes TWO, "Laws" are written in the Aramaic TEXT of 7 words in Galatians 2:19. 

 For I, by the law, have become dead to the law, that I might live to God; and I am crucified with the Messiah. ~

Anyone who can count to TWO, can count the two "LAWS" found in the Aramaic text !

Galatians 2:19 - ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܒܢܡܘܣܐ ܠܢܡܘܣܐ ܡܝܬܬ ܕܠܐܠܗܐ ܐܚܐ ܀ (analyze)

So now . . .

COUNT the LAWs in  Andrew Roth's  AENT

in Galatians 2:19 

For by TORAH I am dead, 
that I might live to ELOHIM. 

How many times can one count the word "LAW" in the translation of Andrew Roth's AENT version ?  

STAKE . . . or . . . CROSS . . . or BOTH ?

Cross or Stake . . . or BOTH ?

A stake, say many in The Hebrew Roots community and among the Jehovah Witnesses, was the instrument of death used by the Romans in the crucifixion of The LORD Y'SHU+ the M'SHIKHA, YESHUA+ ha MOSHIYACH.

A stake, it is correctly pointed out, is the basic meaning of the Greek “cross” word, stauros, and is always rendered "cross" in English translations. The verb form means "to impale" or put to death on a stake. Some call it a "gibbet", which would be likened to a gallows.

These factions blame the Roman Catholics for foisting the word “CROSS” upon the  Christian world via their Vulgate version by using the word “CRUX” instead of “stake.” A close examination of the facts will clearly reveal the TRUTH of the matter. 

So . . . let us look at the facts.
