The Jesus Itinerary

[Godscreated]

---

Why, if Joseph owned a home in Bethlehem was Jesus born in a manger, and how was it that the shepherds knew where exactly to find Him, they were not given directions to where He was. Just how many mangers were in Bethlehem. Where there crowds gathered to see this birth and guide the shepherds to Jesus. Why would there be crowds to help the shepherds find Jesus, the angels told them of the birth or they would not have known it took place that night. If Joseph owned a house in Bethlehem wouldn't Jesus be born in a bed with Mary. Here are some problems you need to overcome to prove Joseph owned a home there, or even to suppose he owned a home there.

Simple.

The manger and the shepherds are part of Luke's story, not Matthew's.

The two stories don't sync. That's my point.

Why was it necessary for Matthew to include these things in his writings? Luke put these in his writings, and they do not conflict with each other, one gives more detail than the other is the only true difference. Also it was prophecy that Jesus would be born in a manger, do you really believe Matthew would not have known this? As I said before history is put together by using details from some writings and then details from other writings and confirmed by other writings. You did not respond to this either, curious.
