Why are the two genealogies of Christ given in Luke 3 and Matthew 1 not contradictory?

Because Joseph was not Christ's father, except legally. So while the one is Jesus' paternal or 'legal' genealogy, the other, more accurate one is His maternal genealogy. Both Joseph and Mary were descendants of David.

∙ 9y agoFirst of all, Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) acknowledges there are many differences from Matthew's genealogy to Luke's genealogy (especially from David on). He says that while Luke's list may be less classically monarchical than Matthew's, there is little likelihood that either is strictly historical.
One common way often used to show that the two genealogies are not contradictory is to think of Luke's version as the genealogy of Mary, although Brown points to the problem posed for this by Luke 3:23. Even then, we find that Zorobabel has two different paternal grandfathers, depending on which gospel account we use.

Why is Matthew's symbol the Human Jesus?
The symbol for Saint Matthew is not specifically the human manifestation of Jesus. Rather, it is just a generic man. This symbol is given Matthew because of the way he opens his Gospel narration; each evangelist is given such a symbol. Matthew's is a man because he begins his Gospel with the human geneology of Christ, tracing His ancestry through the ancestral familial line of men before Him thus establishing His human birth rights and legitimacy among the Jewish nation.
Is Jesus Christ dead?

The concrete application of this saying is absolutely impossible to perform; and no man save Jesus Christ has ever done it, until the Holy Ghost was given on the day of Pentecost, and now, with Christ in us, (Colossians 1.27), the yoke of his commandments is easy to perform, (Matthew 11.30).
