We all agree that Jesus is the descendant of Abraham ... do we ? ... The father of Jesus was a good carpenter whose name was Joseph, who was descendent from Moses and ultimately Adam and Eva ... but Jesus was born from the Holy Mary and The Holy Spirit !
what was the link with Holy Mary then ?
was Elisabeth (mother of John Baptist) the cousine of Holy Mary in stright line ?
Finally, without questioning God, but is the bible wrong in some places ?

There are two versions of Jesus' family tree, in Matthew and Luke. They both include Abraham and David but have other different ancestors in them, including both giving different fathers for Joseph, the father of Jesus (though not in the biological sense). It could be that one of these 2 family trees is actually that of Mary, and the father of Joseph mentioned in it is actually Joseph's father-in-law, Mary's father.
Elisabeth, other of John the Baptist is called a relative of Mary by the Angel that tells Mary that ELisabeth is pregnant. The word does not mean just cousin but could be a relative or kinswoman. We are not told more than this.
There are mistakes in the Bible, like spelling mistakes, sometimes factual errors (like the number of something), but they are not the kind of mistakes that are of religious or theological importance.

the completed Pentateuch (first 5 books of the bible) are foreshadowings of issues again (Hebrews 10:a million, Col 2:17, and so on, and so on). all the rituals foreshadow what is going to happen interior the destiny. the completed sacrificial lamb without blemish in the time of the previous testomony as defined in Leviticus sixteen particularly is a foreshadowing of Jesus Christ. it incredibly is the reason not greater lambs or animals are sacrificed, because of the fact the final sacrifice became made. A lamb without blemish. Moses premier the Hebrews out of Egypt, the 70 committed people who have been given the holy spirit interior the e book of Numbers, Jesus despatched 70 out until now Him; the 40 years interior the desolate tract for moses, 40 days and 40 nights being tempted interior the desolate tract for Jesus, and so on, and so on. i may well be here all day naming the shadow figures. Moses, Noah, Adam and Abraham are "varieties" that foreshadow the destiny, which lots of that have been Jesus Christ Himself. something will come interior the tip cases on His 2nd coming. Jesus is the biggest discern interior the completed bible, stated with the aid of brand call interior the hot testomony, and with the aid of discern "variety" and symbolism all in the process the previous testomony, to not point out the prophecies that are so for sure approximately Him. he's, He became, He consistently would be. Christ is the absolute maximum excessive discern.

Luke 3:23-38(Jesus' lineage)
In the bible the profecy about Jesus says that he would be born in that lineage. He could have been born out of holy spirit but he was raised as the son of one of the decendants of David, thus fullfiling that profecy.
Bible is UNCLEAR in some places; not wrong. You just need to study it more fully to understand those areas.

Jesus was surely a descendant of Adam Noe and Abraham spiritually, to be a prophet it don't require a genetic offspring of early prophets.

If you believe in religion, as they say that we come from one human being. Then we all come from Eve, including Jesus, Mary, Joseph, You, Me, etc... What do u think? and I can assure you that we don't look anything alike. Do we?
