    The genealogies of Jesus were not presented as "proof" of his being Messiah until after he was dead, likely not until at least 45, possibly as long as 100 *years* after he was killed (assuming he really existed). That said, the notion that the Jews couldn't disprove his genealogy and thereby prove that Jesus wasn't the Messiah, at that point the question was utterly moot. Beyond that, the fact that Jesus' genealogy is inconsistent between Matthew and Luke should give those who push it as "proof" pause to think, especially in light of the fact that _both_ of the genealogies actually prove that Jesus could _not_ have been the messiah. All of that said, genealogy is only one of many aspects required to determine whether or not someone is the messiah. As I've said previously, here and elsewhere, this stuff is covered in depth on any number of sites, including http://www.jewsforjudaism.org/ ~Tomer
