One scripture says Joseph's father was Jacob and another scripture says Heli....
Apparently Joseph has 2 fathers or?
MAT 1:16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
LUK 3:23 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli.

Jacob is Josephs' biological Father. Heli is his father-in law (Mary's father)
Matthew used a strictly paternal lineage wheras Luke being from a different culture incorporated maternal lineage in his geneaology. Mary and Joseph can be traced back to the same Patriarch (Judah)
We have had this discussion before in a thread.......most people in this forum are predisposed to reject any explanation of anything that exposes their so-called discovery of a biblical contradiction.
This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in ? might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.
But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. Titus 3:8-9
