Jesus HAD to be born in Bethlehem BECAUSE God said he WOULD be born in Bethlehem.
What is the test of a false prophet?

All that means is that some girl in Bethlehem had to say yes when asked, not that Mary specifically had to.

I recall an Old Testament passage, can't remember which, that clearly states how false prophets ask for or demand that "God demands x," and x is money, human sacrifice, sexual favors, and other things that the spirit of the world lusts for. The One, True God has no need for human sacrifice, definitely no need for money, and a big fat zero for sexual favors. What God wants is Purity of the Spirit--like Mercy, Forgiveness, Unconditional Love, Faith, Obedience, Charity, Praise, Adoration and Respect of the Saints, praying for the souls in Purgatory, intercessions/admonishment for the sinners, etc.
