Was Heli the name of Mary's father?
There's no evidence that it was. The Hebrews may not have had a word for son-in-law, but the Greeks did and the the Gospels were written in Greek.

Not legally either because not biologically. And frankly, not for purposes of prophesy, which would be the point.

By complete disarray are you proposing that no two theologians/apologists agree on any issue?

Why?

Because where there are reasonable answers, like minded reasonable people tend to agree.

But, I repeat. Would you do this kind of mental gymnastics to show that any other book was without contradictions? If not, why not? If so which book? The point being that it's all special pleading for the Bible beginning with the supposition that the Bible can't be wrong.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
