| | #REDIRECT [[Question: Does the Bible condemn genealogical research?]] |
| | |
| ==Criticism==
| |
| Critics charge that the Bible condemns genealogy, and therefore the Latter-day Saint practice of compiling family histories is anti-Biblical, often citing [http://scriptures.lds.org/1_tim/1/4#4 1 Timothy 1:4] or [http://scriptures.lds.org/titus/3/9#9 Titus 3:9].

| | |
| ==Response==
| |
| The Bible clearly does not reject all uses of genealogy. This can be seen through its many genealogical lists, including two such lists for Jesus Christ Himself. (See [http://scriptures.lds.org/matt/1/1#24 Matthew 1:1–24] and [http://scriptures.lds.org/luke/3/23#38 Luke 3:23–38].)
