I know of only one tradition that you follow, but it is about Matthew 28:19.

Is the Bible too Contradictory for All of it to be True?
- Thread starter Sunstone

The evil tradition that people so far can't shake is believing The Bible is something to believe IN and that it was never tampered with.
Too, too bad you all weren't there to stop all tampering.

I think that Jesus let it go to tamper mode because it is FUNNY
Thanks SW. I enjoy discussing the Bible, especially with those who want to get down to the nitty gritty. I am sure this isn't our last encounter. Eph 1:3 tells me how much God has blessed me and you.
I might do some trolling to maybe catch up to @Revoltingest
I think it might be Paul who has a question for @omega2xx .
How did you do in school there buddy?

I should eliminate that last post.
God has blessed me? But, you say I have the devil. I should not call that blessed. Should you?
. God made sure the canon was like he wanted it and like we needed it.
Pleas don't accuse me of saying something I did not say.
I know! I thought I should not brag.
Disciple is a noun----discipling is a verb.
If you don't, who will?I know! I thought I should not brag.
Be loud & proud!
You're dethroning those flashes in the pan,
an accomplishment of infinitesimal value.
"Infinitesimal" means infinitely cromulent, right?
Disciple means TO BE commited to a leader/teacher. TO BE is a verb.
You might be right because I can't find what I thought you said. I thought you said that to change the Bible is the devil's work. Did you not say that?
A disciple is only a disciple because of what he or she does. Does is a verb.
One last word for now.
If Jesus said to be disciplining the nations most people will question what it means. Where? Who? When? How? Why? He does not say HOW and he does not say who should be doing it and when, if ever, they might be qualified to do it because you might teach someone something wrong and then they will become a disciple of your wrong teaching.
If he said to BE a disciple, it is simple. Know him, trust him, listen to him, believe him.
In my sentence above disciple is a noun. I do not know if Greek uses the verb "be". If yes, then I am right because it is missing there. If no, then you might be right and God is asking us to do God's job, which to most thinking people is ridiculous.

It doesn't explain it. You mention only one place where it may explain anything, but that ignores the dozens of other discrepancies between the two genealogies. I understand you're reasoning; however, it doesn't mash up since there isn't one discrepancy, as you implied, but dozens.
I answered it in my second post to you. I'm breaking up my responses to you so that you can actually fully address a main point, and if you choose to, you can deal with the second longer post. The point I want to focus on is the discrepancies in the genealogies, as that was the first issue that we faced.
We have been talking about what disciple means. The Bible says it means to make disciples for Jesus. John had disciples. Were the disciples of John for making more disciples for John?
