Not least of which is the requirement to go to their place of birth for a census instead of having it as a question on the form.
The bible doesn't say that was a Roman requirement. It says Joseph did that. We don't know why.
If Luke were making this up and wanted the birth in Bethlehem, there were much simpler ways of accomplishing that than inventing an event which would have been public knowledge and would have shot his credibility right from the start if not accurate.
Do you even read your own bullshit?
Quote:2 In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. 2 (This was the first census that took place while[a] Quirinius was governor of Syria.) 3 And everyone went to their own town to register.
Luke 2
Do you understand what the fucking word "everyone" means?
Fucking apologist bastards make me sick.
And then there is dripshit still pouring out his own inimitable brand of utter fucking nonsense!
Quote:We have more hand written manuscripts of Christ than of any other figure in history nearly 25K different examples all of them consistent.

None from the first century.... when you shitheads claim your godboy actually lived and virtually none from the 2d. Yes, by the second millennium the xtian hand-written copy machine was in full bloom but do you really think that if you take a document to a Xerox machine and make 500 copies of it that it then becomes 500 times more correct? Even you, Dripshit, cannot be that stupid.
As for consistency? They are consistent only in their inconsistency and in the number of scribal error which have been detected.
Quote:The third century church father Origen, for example, once registered the following
complaint about the copies of the Gospels at his disposal:
The differences among the manuscripts have become great, either
through the negligence of some copyists or through the perverse
audacity of others; they either neglect to check over what they have
transcribed, or, in the process of checking, they make additions or
deletions as they please.
Gee, Dripshit. He spotted it in the 3d century and here you are 18 fucking centuries later acting like you know what you are talking about.
