Translational Inconsistencies

[carl37]

Hello all,

Just wanted some thought on something. It reads in Matthew 23 "The scribes and pharisees sit in Moses' seat: all therefore they bid you observe, that observe and do, but do ye not after their works, for they say and do not". It continues on with what they do. It seems strange that Yahshua would tell his disciples to listen to them on what to do and observe even though they are doing things wrong. Is it possible that there is a wrong translation of a word here? Also the genealogy in Matthew 1 does not line up with the genealogy given in Luke 3:24 or vice versa. Also in Matthew it has the genealogy of Yahshua going through Joseph which we know isn't possible because he isn't the father. It seems to be that there has to be a translation error somewhere. On a side note I was reading some of the posts and they are fascinating, however when the questions come up where did you get your phd, I am reminded that Yahshua was constantly challenged and eventually given over for crucifixion by the so called Scholars or educated people of the day. That tells me that even someone with a phd can be wrong. Thanks for the opportunity to share.
