Genealogies are the family lines Scripture bothers to write down.
The book of the generations of Adam.
The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ,
the son of David, the son of Abraham.
Avoid the endless genealogies that serve speculation.
A genealogy in Scripture is a line with a purpose. Genesis gives the book of the generations of Adam. Matthew opens with the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. Luke traces the line the other direction, to Adam, the son of God. Paul tells Timothy and Titus to avoid endless genealogies and myths that promote speculation. The written lines are not that vice. They carry promise, kingship, and the seed. The endless ones are the hobby that never arrives at Christ.
The book of the generations is Scripture. Endless genealogies are a warning. One arrives at Christ. The other arrives at speculation.
