Sad it may be, but it's only inspirational if true. To be true, certain events must have actually occurred. If they did not occur then it is myth and for this reason alone it is worth engaging with the difficulties that I have previously outlined.
Hi David, I am not sure if you're still around and still trying to figure out the genealogy (since your comments were over 8 years ago) but one thing I have seen is that you do love the Lord and want to know Him a lot more; hence all the questions. The Bible also says no man knoweth the Father, save the Son and whomsoever the Son revealeth Him to. I can't answer the genealogy cause I do think generations are missing myself, for instance Matthew Chapter 1 and Luke Chapter 3 some people were added and some were left out between those 2 accounts. So I thought to myself, I may have to read over the Bible entirely and draw a family tree to figure it out or just wait for the Lord's revelation.
I found the answer to the genealogy in Matthew Henry's commentary. Luke gave elements of Mary's genealogy as well as Joseph's that's why both accounts differ.
