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

[GrandizerII]

These key points which are:

Bethlehem (based on a verse in Micah)
Virgin: Based on an unfortunate mistranslation of the verse in Isaiah
Joseph and Mary: common news at the time

But notice about the angel appearance: Matthew says he appeared to Jospeh, but Luke says he appeared to Mary.

And, alpha male, anyone not blinded by the "inerrancy" of the Bible can see that the nativity accounts are drastically different (even considering the few words you mentioned).

And anyone not blinded by anti-theism will conclude, or at least consider as a plausible possibility, that the accounts are complementary, rather than contradictory.

Same with the genealogies - that one is of Mary, or they're both of Joseph due to Levirate marriage, are possibilities that people without an agenda would consider.

Not plausible given the drastic differences which imply they were not meant to complement. And in fact the contradictions are there anyway, but I was just being too generous with you. No more being lenient.

Interesting how the only common key words between those two accounts relate to either Old Testament prophecies or very plausibly common news at the time.
