Which "contradiction" as there are like 64 posited ones in here?

I must apologize for my sloppiness
I placed the title Luke between Matthew1:16 and 1:17 instead it should be between the Matthew and Luke genealogies, after Matthew 1:17 and before Luke 2:23.
These are of course the 2 contradictory Genealogies of Jesus.
In Matthew his Grandpa, that is Joseph's Daddy, is named Jacob.
But in Luke his Grandpa and Joseph's daddy is Heli.
So tell me was Joseph's Daddy and Jesus' Grandpa Jacob or Heli?

Kosh

Who cares? They claim that Joseph wasn't Jesus' daddy.....

Baidarka

What they claim is ridiculous. The fact that two of the Gospels record long Genealogies which attempt to prove that Jesus was of the root of Jesse and therefore an heir to Israel’s throne and then to deny his legitimacy would be rather stupid don’t you think? Obviously some late scribe added words to distance Jesus from Joseph after the King Jesus Myth ended and the Son of God Myth started. We can clearly see how clumsy the additions were. Mat “16and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. “ and Luke “23Now Jesus himself was about thirty years old when he began his ministry. He was the son, so it was thought, of Joseph, 24the son of Heli”
