We have taken the five ministry gifts (Evangelists, Pastors, Teachers, Prophets, and Apostles) as an outline for the courses of Bible study in this School.
Our purpose is to equip those who are ministering with a knowledge of the Word, so that each will be more effective in fulfilling his or her calling.
Learn MoreBible critics often point to the seeming discrepancy in Jesus' genealogy in the accounts of Matthew and Luke. Matthew's genealogy (1:15, 16) lists it as:
(lineage from David through Solomon) Matthan - Jacob - Joseph - Jesus
Luke 3:23, 24 lists it as:
(lineage from David through Nathan) Matthat - Heli - Joseph - Jesus
Matthan and Matthat are the same person with different spellings of his name. The real problem is whether his son Jacob or Heli is the real father of Joseph. The answer is simple--BOTH of them were Joseph's father. The fact is, Heli and Jacob were brothers, both sons of Matthat (Matthan).
Heli got married, but he died before he had any children. And so, according to the law in Deut. 25:5-10, his brother was required to marry his brother's widow in order to raise up an heir to his brother's property. Otherwise, his brother would have no inheritor and would lose his inheritance in the land.
Thus, Jacob had a child by Heli's widow, and that child was named Joseph. Joseph was the biological son of Jacob; but he was the legal son of Heli.
This is the explanation given by Eusebius in his fourth century work, Ecclesiastical History, Vol. I, vii, 1. Eusebius was the bishop of Caesarea in Palestine and wrote the first real history of the Church.
Dr. Stephen Jones has been writing blog posts since 2005 on a variety of topics from Bible Studies to World News, and he has been writing books since 1992. Dr. Jones' most important writings came after God brought him back into the full-time ministry in 1991. It is here that all his earlier years of searching the Scriptures began to come into clear focus. He combines a knowledge of the Old and New Testaments with a personal revelation of God that began and developed during the "wilderness" period of his life, which he often refers to as God's True Bible College...
