Not great enough to have the word ‘great’ in my name, like my father did, but I was a somebody! And now I’m a nobody. This is my story. You see, dad was not only […] Why does Matthew say there “14 generations” between the Captivity and Christ, when anyone can count and see that he mentions 13 and not 14? Specifically… Mat 1:17 So all the generations from Abraham to David were 14 generations; and from David until the exile to Babylon, 14 generations; and from the exile to Babylon […] |
