There’s so much wrong in that article one doesn’t know where to start. The author uses more speculation than evolutionists. Quibbling about whether it was a stable or a house then stating it was part of the house where the animals were kept. What does he think a stable is? Either way Jesus was born where the animals where normally kept and placed in a trough where animals ate.

A stupid article that adds nothing and quibbles over semantics.

I think it did a good job making it's points based on scripture, word usage and middle eastern custom and traditions. If it were a case being built on circumstantial evidence it would be pretty strong. What the traditional view has going for it is that mostly it's a strong tradition.

I think it fleshes out the origins of Jesus and makes him more real but I see where you're coming from.
