And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;

1:16
And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

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,

3:24
Which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi, which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Janna, which was the son of Joseph,
That is why the wording is there BOTH are Mary.

How do you explain the different father for Mary in the accounts?

I know you could it was quite confusing however the CAB clearly states the opposite and also the Isreal series. Branham endorsed and sent out hte book as somewhat a statement of doctrine to what he believed that was the reason for the book. EVERY page and paragraph had his initials on them. Again this came directly from Vayle who wrote it and Green who published it.
I think Branham was confused myself. Dale later printed a paper that had multitude of quotes that taught foreknowledge and free will. It was quite war in the late 60's a war of quotes. However YOU even quoted from the CAB and said it changed your life so Vayle won!

That's what I had posted but when you posted both lines were Mary's I thought I had missed something. Thanks.

Re: Is The Serpent Seed Doctine A "Damnable Heresy

This issue of Jeus' humanity coming from Mary has been a big debate throughout history. This is one of the reasons why Mary was eventually venerated in the catholic church.

Sorry I have added this late, but I was not around to plug it in while others were talking about this point.

No real problem exists over the use of "The Name" in everthing else done in the Church. Why then should there exist great controversy over the use of the "The Name of the Godhead" in water baptism?

In the Jewsih society the legal rights of a family came from the father. Although Joseph was his legal father, he was not His biological father. The reason why the lineage of Joseph is cited in the gospel of Matthew because the book of Matthew is written to the Jews. Thus, it had to be proven according to Jewish tradition that Jesus was of descent legally of David.

Hmmmm. So it was more of a legal lineage than a biological one. Never thought of it that way, and never heard it preached that way, but it sounds reasonable. I wonder if Joseph had to adopt Jesus for this lineage to apply.

This is not from me. I got it out Jamieson, Fausset and Brown commentary.
