Luqa's Genealogy is JOSEPH'S !!!! THIS IS HUGE !!!
#1
Shlama Akhay,

This is so HUGE I don't know what to do with myself!

Here is a wonderful quotation by one of the oldest Fathers of the Church of the East, Mar Aphrahat who lived A.D. 280-367:

Quote:Joseph was called the father of Jesus (even though he was not born from his seed), but the name of fatherhood was transmitted from Adam to Joseph, through sixty-three generations.

( Demonstrations, 23:20, c.f., Women in Aphrahat: Some Observations, Adam Lehto, HUGOYE: JOURNAL OF SYRIAC STUDIES, Vol. 4, No. 2 July 2001 found here: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://syrcom.cua.edu/Hugoye/Vol4No2/HV4N2Lehto.html">http://syrcom.cua.edu/Hugoye/Vol4No2/HV4N2Lehto.html</a><!-- m --> )

Obviously, Mar Aphrahat is referring to the genealogy given by Luqa, and not Mattai because only Luqa starts the genealogy with Adam and ends with Joseph.

I have to revise the Gawra article - Akhi Chris, you have to revise your article!!!
