 You're right about Matthew:  either he bungled the count, or he deliberately
 lied.  But, we'll just have to disagree about whether Matthew had a right to
 try to make the connection; but, try he did and God obviously inspired him 
to try to make it; that's why the "genealogy" is not useless.

 God obvioulsy inspired him?

Joe Alward:

That was short for, "The inerrantists must claim that the reason Matthew 
chose to try to show the 3x2 week pattern was that God inspired him to do 
so."  Of course, I don't believe a god inspired Matthew to do anything, 
though he may have thought he was inspired.
