Here is an excellent example of how doing proper research can help people correctly understand events and accounts in the Bible that on the surface seem to be discrepancies and or contradictions. This deals with Joseph, Jesus' step father. According to the Bible, Who Was Joseph’s Father?

Very enlightening.

@anthony1312002,
'Doing Proper Research'?
'Puts to rest'?
'Seeming'?
'Bible'?
'Errors'?

@mark noble,
mark, no one will accuse you of research, you whose answer to why the Church is considered a teaching authority was: The Pope is the Jesuit Whore from Babylon.

But this is good. They need to see you and that is what the provocations are doing,making you reply with your guard down.

@mark noble,
I have to apologize for including links to articles in my posts.

This deals with how proper research puts to rest Seeming Bible error.
Let me try to present the substance of this discussion regarding who was Joseph’s Father.

Joseph, the carpenter of Nazareth, was the adoptive father of Jesus. But who was Joseph’s father? Jesus’ genealogy in Matthew’s Gospel names a certain Jacob, whereas Luke’s says that Joseph was “son of Heli.” Why the seeming discrepancy?—Luke 3:23; Matthew 1:16.

Matthew’s account reads: “Jacob became father to Joseph,” employing a Greek term indicating clearly that Jacob was Joseph’s natural father. So Matthew was tracing Joseph’s natural genealogy, the kingly line of David, through which the legal right to the throne passed to Joseph’s adoptive son, Jesus.

On the other hand, Luke’s account says: “Joseph, son of Heli.” That expression, “son of,” can be understood as “son-in-law of.” A similar case is found at Luke 3:27, where Shealtiel, whose real father was Jeconiah, is listed as “son of Neri.” (1 Chronicles 3:17; Matthew 1:12) Shealtiel was likely married to an unnamed daughter of Neri, thus becoming his son-in-law. Joseph was in the same sense “son” of Heli, as he married Heli’s daughter Mary. So Luke traces Jesus’ natural lineage “according to the flesh,” through his biological mother, Mary. (Romans 1:3) The Bible thus gives us two distinct and useful genealogies for Jesus.

@anthony1312002,
The two accounts of Shealtiel's fathering are examples of Biblical discrepancies as well, and don't serve to gloss the discrepancy of Joseph's fathering. All you have is suppositions.

@mark noble,
That was an excellent approach of that person. But you just seem scared.
