RE: Christians - even the Bible says that Jesus was not God so why do you say he was ?

Doesn't have to be a Q anymore. It wasn't a strange thing for ancients to make references to texts that we no longer have any access to.
Aside from Matthew 1 and 2, Luke copied even more from what's found in Matthew (including what's in Mark) and saw the need to repeat them rather than come up with a totally different account. Why the exception then for Matthew's nativity story? It is very odd this very clear deviation.
Perhaps because Luke didn't have access to Matthew's nativity account.
Do you have a better answer?
And one other thing: Luke never said Heli was Mary's father. Luke said Heli was Joseph's father. Don't make stuff up.
