But a very contradictory account. Matthew has him born in a house in Bethlehem where his parents lived and then fleeing to Egypt until Herod was dead and then moving to Nazareth for fear of Herod's son. Luke has him born in a manger in Bethlehem having travelled there from Nazareth due to a census and then returning and living in Galilea. One could almost imagine they were written by a Roman many years after the death of Jesus in order to assimilate a troublesome Jewish sect into the main body of Roman society.
Somewhere in the dust of time rest the bones of the Galilean He who was spat upon. He whose face was marred beyond all human likeness Somewhere buried among the lies of the past rests the tomb of Yeshua Of he who was made God in a world without Hope. And when this son of Joseph is found. What then will the Church of Rome say? Prepare yourself for the day is coming. And men will say "Blessed are the wasted lives who perished in the flames of the holy war"

Ok......
Matthew does not say that Mary and Joseph lived in Bethlehem.

You sound like you are not a child of God. Therefore, your musings are not only worthless, but annoying.
I'm a child of my mam & dad. My views, however worthless they may appear, have been formed by 60 years of watching and observing human behaviour. The closest I ever came to a true spiritual experience was spending an evening, into the sunrise, with an old native American, on top of a mountain in Eastern Oregon. When the sun rose, he pointed to it and told me that's all I needed to know and believe in. We'd spent the hours prior to that discussing what had happened to his forebears, usually at the hands of "people of faith"

SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!
