I simply asked when did the secular historean count the census. the day the census was issued or the day it was complete. Why? because as I understand it a census like that one could take years to start, record compile and complete.
Herod died in 6 BC quirinius took power in 4 bc. If Herod issued the proclamation for the census before his death and was not completed till the new legit took over, then who do you think gets the credit?
For the Jews it would be the man who started it.
For the gentiles it would be the man who saw it through.
Luke was a gentile as was most of rome back then.
Read his bio, love:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quirinius
He got his governorship in 6 AD; Herod had been dead for 10 years.
The author of Luke got his facts wrong.
Your not even past a chapter one reading yet.
Ok sport read chapter one past verse 5 where luke say the following things happened while herod ruled. read to verse 24. So everything between verse 5 and 24 did indeed happened while herod was king. Now... What changes in verse 24? how does verse 24 start? it starts by saying "later." later meaning what? don't know how much later as the bible does not point out when during herod's rule Lizzy got her news about her up comming pregnancy. we don't know how long between the announcement and the actual pregnancy we don't know when in that process herod died. but according to your history if that can be trusted herod the great did indeed die.
The point? verse 5-24 happened while herod the great ruled. anything after verse 24 is up in the air as luke tells us what happens after 24 came "later.' which could mean months days weeks or years. Secular history woud seem to suggest perhaps even a decade.
Still with me?
