Thinking about Christmas -- Is the nativity false?
Basiclly the dates do not line up. The first census did occur under Quirinius, but that was in 6 AD when Herod the Great was long dead. It was a local cencus in Roman Judaea. In 6 AD Joseph of Nazareth would not have registered at Bethleham. He was now a Galilaean an not under direct Roman rule and, therefore, exempt of Judaea's registration. Mary had no legal need to leave home.
So we find Luke's portrail of the 'truth' to be quite innacurate. His dates are quite muddled.
Heather, blind faith in falsehoods is really unwise.
Scholars call that "The Quirinius Objection," and it was proven long ago to be incorrect. For more information, go here: http://www.christian-thinktank.com/quirinius.html
For example: "Quirinius, at the time of King Herod's death was doing military expeditions in the eastern provinces of the Roman empire (Tacitus , Annals 3:48; Florus, Roman History 2:31), with some evidence indicating that he either was a co-ruler with the governor of Syria (the somewhat inept Quintilius Varus) or at least placed in charge of the 14-year census in Palestine. Varus was famous for the later fiasco at the Teutoburger forest in Germany (9 ad) and at his appointment as Gov.. of Syria in 7 BC was largely 'untested'. The census was due in 8-7 BC, and Augustus could easily have ordered his trusted Quirinius (fresh from subduing the Pisidian highlanders) to assist in this volatile project. Herod I had recently lost favor of the emperor and was probably dragging his feet on taking the census--a process with always enraged the difficult Jews! This would have pushed the timeframe into the 5 BC mark, which fits the general data."
