Eastern philosophy truth is different than Western philosophy truth. Western thinking demands facts to build the truth where Eastern thinking can use more of a fluid approach with information to build the truth. Both are examples of truth.?? I don't understand. Aren't the Scriptures inspired by God? Of course, the account happened or are we now judges of God's Word deciding what happened and didn't happen?
For example, Mathew has a genealogy of Christ and so does Luke but they are different. Mathew uses records with 3 groups of 14 generations called a tresseradecad which was a specific Jewish custom in organizing genealogies. Matthew and Luke are both organized in this way and both seem to be forced to omit information to accomplish this because their focus was more about this way of organizing it than it was literal.
Matthew also seems to really emphasize Christ's royal line which differs from Lukes. It is possible for generations to take different paths and still end in the same place but you do have to take the mother's path sometimes in order to accomplish this. Possibly that is what happened or maybe Matthew had a different focus and adjusted the information to proclaim his royal lineaged better which is not uncommon in Eastern thinking like Christ is automatically adopted into this line so it may be used to describe his lineage even if not true.
Which genealogy do you think is truth because in order for both to be you must put away a strict literal view.
