It seems to me like "USA vs Russia". Thats what Russians say, beware!!
I do not take sides regarding truth. All human sides have something true and something false. Thats why I said my ground is simply truth. Without any adjectives (catholic, protestant, new, old, biblical, scientific...).

RCC avers that scripture alone(Sola Scriptura) is not enough, but also needs oral traditions, &c.
I am not sure what you mean by this question.
Everything God created or does or allows gives us some information about Him.
Uhm.... no.
For example I just read Leibniz - Theodicea. It talks about God.
My case proved

You probably meant its the only book that is inspired..?
1Chr 3 traces the line of Solomon which would parallel the lineage of Joseph.
Luke traces the lineage of Mary through Nathan, IMO.
And not just that.
It also tells us what He is like. If there is order, elegance etc in His works, we can deduce things about Him.
Extra-Biblical sources can be useful in witnessing to unbelievers when they affirm and establish a Biblical truth.
They are also sometimes helpful to clarify a Biblical truth when a verse can be understood in more than one way.
NOTHING that contradicts the Bible should be regarded as helpful.
Also, not everything that seems to contradict Bible is a real contradiction. Like the controversy with heliocentrism some centuries later. Church said that when Bible says the sun runs in the sky, it cannot be that we are actually running around a standing star.
Truth cannot contradict truth. Our views can be simply wrong, our work with Bible can be wrong as a work with anything else. We cannot lock ourselves in one source.
I believe that if several people in a community are led to Salvation by word of mouth; and the Bible is unavailable and/or suppressed, the indwelling Holy Spirit can lead people into sound practices and there can be a church. When the Bible becomes available in such cases the practices of believers in such circumstances are often affirmed by it.
I HAVE WITNESSED TO SOME PEOPLE THAT WERE THRILLED AND EXCITED ABOUT WHAT i TOLD THEM ABOUT GOD, JESUS AND SALVATION. THEY COULD NOT WAIT TO GET A BIBLE TO READ MORE. Sorry about the upper case, went to far to start over again.
So how do you account for the alleged second Ahaziah, other than with the difference in ages? You would need additional information beyond that for it to be accepted as valid. Why would Solomon's lineage only have one if there were two?
There are 2 different ages and 2 different beginnings of their reigns. I think the lineage in 1 Chronicles is the lineage of Jesus, at least it matches the lineage in Matthew as far as I have checked it.
You check a piece here, a piece there and then just invent or assume the rest.
Such a construction will not stand. Have you checked all genealogies in Matthew, whether they fit with 1 Chronicles? If they do not fit in some places, you have a problem again.

My concern is not with the entire genealogy in Matthew, I just checked to see if the first part matched 1 Chronicles 3 and it does. Im sure the rest of it does too but that's not the point of my research right. Right now I'm interested in understanding the Ahaziah's age thing.
