Contradictions in Jesus' Genealogy


Jeremiah 22:24, 30 (Jeremiah 22:24-30)

"As surely as I live," declares the LORD, "even if you, Jehoiachin son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, were a signet ring on my right hand, I would still pull you off.

This is what the LORD says: "Record this man as if childless, a man who will not prosper in his lifetime, for none of his offspring will prosper, none will sit on the throne of David or rule anymore in Judah."


Jesus' genealogy in Matthew 1:1-16

Jesus' genealogy in Luke 3:23-38



Objections (responses are offsite)

The two accounts of Jesus's genealogy are both through Joseph, and are a) contradictory and b) show that Jesus wasn't a true descendent of David
Jesus was a descendent of Jeconiah, who had been cursed to have no descendents
