You sound like a very learned person, so why use the "F" word? It is demeaning towards women. Homosexuals enjoy the "F" word, which undermines their sexual value system with proof of its roots in vulgarity and cheap thrills...Umm ... looks to me like there are only 13 generations between Babylon and Christ...Not according to Jesus...
Matthew 5:17 Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.
And according to Paul, the death and resurrection of Jesus fulfilled the Law and the prophecies ushering in a new era of Judaism that abolished the old covenant and brought in a new one. If you had read Chapter One of the book you quote, you would recognize that the author makes clear through the genealogy that every 14th generation something massive happens and Judaism changes. After the first 14 generations, David came and established the royal line which dramatically changed everything. 14 generations later was the Babylonian exile which again dramatically changed everything. Now 14 generations later, here comes Jesus ushering in yet another era wherein the prophecies are fulfilled, the old covenant is no more, and a new covenant is established.

Very good. Scholars have been pointing that out for centuries. But according to Matt 1:17 it says "17 Thus there were fourteen generations in all from Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to the Messiah" (Matt. 1:17, NIV). So it appears someone fucked up, huh? Scholars believe that a scribe made an error in copying it, missed a name, that name was missed by later scribes that copied that scribe's copy and it kept getting copied incorrectly over and over and over from the copy to the copy of the copy to the copy of the copy of the copy (multiply that by about 1,000 years) until it comes to us today. It's one of the many things that doesn't quite make sense, but clearly the author intended to make the point of the fourteen generations as he points it out specifically in 1:17. Where the other name went? Who the f__k knows
See you have learned something today.![]()
Because it's a word created by man which does not offend God and for which there exists to adequate alternative. It's a little like "asshole". If you called me an asshole and I demanded that you find another word that means precisely the same thing, you would be pretty hard pressed to find one. I mean we could say "jerk" but does "jerk" really mean the same thing as "asshole". Well kind of but it doesn't really capture the poetic spirit of it, does it? "Moron"? Nah...that has to do with intelligence and an asshole is...well....an asshole. You know...there's a difference. Same thing with "fuck". Find me another word that means the precise same thing and I will use it. And as far as "demeaning toward women"....maybe you feel that way because women don't scream it out to you enough.In my experience, it's a pretty good thing.
