Embellishments in the Gospel of Mark.

[Drich]

he lived from 73 bc to 4 bc which is why christ birth starts as early as 4 bc in some circles. You do understand the numbers work backwards in BC time? the bigger the number the longer ago it was.. meaning herod was born in 73 lived 69 years and died in 4bc. and again the birth of Christ can go as late as 8 AD because again of celestial events that could have been identified as the star of David.

Okay, here's the timeline:

4 BC:  Herod dies.
6 AD:  Supposed census.

Now, here is Luke's account:

In the days of King Herod of Judea there was a priest named Zechariah.
   — Luke 1:5 

In those days a decree went out from Emperor Augustus that all the world should be registered. This was the first registration and was taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria. All went to their own towns to be registered. Joseph also went from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to the city of David called Bethlehem, because he was descended from the house and family of David. He went to be registered with Mary, to whom he was engaged and who was expecting a child.
    — Luke 2:1–5

And, so, when was Jesus born, again?

I've already went over this 10 times.. what happens between chapter 1 and chapter 2? I even put the event in big letters and told you to read the chapter for yourself not only that I even left a link to the bible so you could read it.. I can see now you did not do that. rather you decided to drag this out 3 extra days to try and make me seem foolish by locking me into several chain questions.

Since your either petulent or just plain stupid I will now bring the conversation down to your level.

So you ready retard?

Again The whole of Chapter one describes the prediction via angel/john father's loss of his speech and what was going on in the world at the time. meaning who reigned the region. which was herod. All of this before John the baptist was even conceived all of these things are mentioned in chapter one. Then LATER meaning days weeks months or years... Elizabeth John the baptist's mom got prego with john....

Do you understand now?

The time of herod is a measure of not John or Christ's birth, but the point far back in time where the angel of the lord came and foretold of the birth of John the baptist and the angel naming john, which also marked the point in time where john's father lost his voice only to regain it at the point where the boy john was to be named. 

But between the silencing of John's father and John's conception comes verse 24 "later" meaning time had past. how much? apparently enough to put the birth of Christ under quinitus.

Do you finally understand? Do you get your commentary was a lie? as it hadto omit a whole verse of the bible to make this supposed contradiction work???

I have not found 1 supposed contradiction to be valid all of them can be sorted out with either a plain reading of the passage or sometimes we have to go back to the greek or hebrew, but all can be sorted. As 90% of the time what your atheist commentators do is misrepresent or simply lie about the content of the passage. this is just another example of a lie by omission.
