Not going to happen. My friends think you’re a riot, so it’s symbiotic.

Nope.

You never said the Old Testament. Even if that were what you were referring to it is still wrong.
Quote: -Slaughter of the innocents
Why is that a historical inaccuracy?
Quote: -Herod died in 4 B.C.E. which is ten years before the Quirinius' census which is stated by the gospel ACCORDING TO Luke is the time when Jesus was born... however.... there was no Roman census during the reign of Herod( that's a two for one
This is inaccurate, in the original Greek Luke never actually says that the census took place while Quirinius was Governor of Syria. Additionally, there is actually evidence to support a census taking place near the time of Jesus’ birth in 6-4 B.C..
Quote: - the crucifixion happened during Passover ( which would have been against Jewish laws
You’re going to have to elaborate because I see no reason as to why the Romans could not crucify someone on Passover.
Quote: -the crucifixion was unknown to the Christians until as late as the second century
This is false; it is mentioned in the gospels which are 1st Century documents.
Quote: - There was no release of a prisoner among Romans
This is also false, there is strong evidence suggesting that the Romans would in fact release prisoners, even on Passover. Josephus records that the Roman governor Albinus released prisoners. The Mishnah also tells us that Jews would sacrifice a lamb so that a prisoner could go free on the Passover. The gospel writers would not fabricate a tradition like this; they would have been well aware of such traditions and would have accurately described them.
