"As I urged you on my departure to Macedonia, you should stay on at Ephesus to instruct certain men not to teach false doctrines or devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies, which promote speculation rather than the stewardship of God’s work, which is by faith."
Genealogies are there because some people believe re-incarnation in the blood line every certain number of generations.
So Jesus told you ALL THESE THINGS are done in parable so some are ever seeing but never perceive but I'm denigrating the bible for believing Him. You put the bible before the LIVING WORD of God… Jesus.
If you believe it's literal you do not have eyes to see. Again…
Mark 4:11-12 KJV
"And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them."
