Where do you think Jesus was born?

True enough. And true story - the first time I brought my wife home to meet my family in Kansas I deliberately booked us in the Super 8 so should could get the full flavor of the Midwest. There were hunters in camo, pick-ups with dead game in the back and confederate flags waving, a Sonic Drive-in next door for fine dining, and a laminated poem in the room waxing about the many uses of the lowly rag. Flavor complete. Now we stay at the Holiday Inn when we go. Living large. 1

Nice try was for St Francis. It was so long ago I read about this I can't remember where it was. There were several reasons that the manger was pretty much out of the question due to the sheep herding at that time of year and other factors. It was pretty convincing though, even the location. The St Francis thingy came from a theology friend of mine who quit and went to a regular college (he was studying to be a priest), became an unbeliever during the studies. Passed away now. 1

I think the Urantians think he was born in Urantia. Seriously. 1

In the imagination of a Hebrew who was disgusted with the leaders of his religion and decided to make a change by creating a messiah that not only the Jewish people could follow but for the first time the Gentiles could become part of the Hebrew religion without birth rights. Kudos, to that man who remains unknown to this day. Since the original Jesus was in spirit only the birth stories were embellished later and that is why they are not cohesive |
