Everybody knows King James Version is where it's at!

However, I don't think there is anything wrong with calling Joseph Jesus' father. Can you not refer to adopted parents as father/mother? It doesn't say "biological father" so there is no contradiction.

Im sure you know this, but in John 3:16, the words "eternally begotten" were removed in the NIV which causes a bit of a problem.
