I don't see an explanation there of the wording in Luke. But here's a somewhat reasonable one I found, quoting Dr. Henry Morris:
Quote:
“Joseph was clearly the son of Jacob (Matthew 1:16, so this verse [Luke 3:23 - says “son of Heli”] should be understood to mean “son-in-law of Heli.” Thus, the genealogy of Christ in Luke is actually the genealogy of Mary, while Matthew gives that of Joseph. Actually, the word “son” is not in the original, so it would be legitimate to supply either “son” or “son-in-law” in this context. Since Matthew and Luke clearly record much common material, it is certain that neither one could unknowingly incorporate such a flagrant apparent mistake as the wrong genealogy in his record. As it is, however, the two genealogies show that both parents were descendants of David—Joseph through Solomon (Matthew 1:7-15), thus inheriting the legal right to the throne of David, and Mary through Nathan (Luke 3:23-31), her line thus carrying the seed of David, since Solomon’s line had been refused the throne because of Jechoniah’s sin” [Dr. Henry M. Morris, The Defender’s Study Bible, note for Luke 3:23 (Iowa Falls, Iowa: World Publishing, Inc., 1995).].
You're pretty computer savvy for a great-grandma!! LOL
Sherri,
I love being a GREAT-Grandma!!
About five years ago, I didn't know how to turn
a computer on. FCF was the first forum I came
in contact with. The rest is history,

Who are all these people viewing this video. I first received this video
on the 15th of Feb. from a man that was battling lung cancer. He would not
have been considered a religious man. I was surprised when he sent me
an e-mail with the link to this song.
He lost his battle with cancer today!

I've looked at this off and on for years. If you'd like, I've got some files laying it out (though I obviously take issue with almost anything Henry Morris has ever said).
If you'd like Timmy, start a thread or show me one already open on this topic and I'll post there so as not to clutter up the great, the swell and even just the plain ole grandma's chatting here.
