I see a lot of things wrong with this piece. It's not a well written piece at all. If this writer was trying to debunk Jesus Christ, I could at least "respect" him if he had a better argument. He's got many, many facts wrong and some dates wrong. It will take me some time to collect my thoughts and some study today.

Luke 2:2 This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria. And everyone went to his won town to register.

I looked up several notes on this verse and they all seem to agree that Quirinius was possibly in office for two terms. First 6-4 BC and then 6-9 AD. This verse is referring to his first term. King Herod, or Herod the Great was king from 37-4 BC. 4 BC seems to be the year.

I see no discrepancy with this point he tried to make. I'll be back later.

I'm sorry. I should have said "between" 6 to 4 BC seems to be the year. Who really knows???? God told us everything he wants us to know and the rest is up to us to BELIEVE.

Deuteronomy 29:29 The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever.....
