RE: Are there guidelines for accommodational interpretation?

Hi Paul, you wrote:

historical
figure, there is no reason for us to do so.<<
 
What about Luke tracing the ancestry of Christ to Adam? Up until 70 AD
when Jerusalem was destroyed, the genealogies of all the Jews was a
matter of record in the temple. Luke didn't dream up Christ's ancestry,
and it wasn't dictated to him from on high. All he had to do was trot
down to the temple and look up the records. Adam was a man of record in
the temple. The only hard part began with the twelve tribes of Israel.

Up until that point it was fairly easy.
