I think we dissagree again. First off, don't get your information by copying and pasting webpages. Open the bible, and read it yourself. You're pretty much borderline plagerizing webpages online, the entire quote above was almost verbatim copyed from another page.

I didn't get my information by copying & pasting websites. I studied this shit at university. But see, English is not my native tongue. Therefore I searched the web in order to find short and informative comments & articles on the topic - in appropriate English.
P.S. Open the bible and read it yourself? First off, you'll have to do some research and get some knowledge. The bible cannot be read without background knowledge.

The whole trick of the story of Jesus is that he fullfilled all the prophecies, backwards. For instance, Jews expected him to come in as a powerful, rich splendid leader. He came in dirt poor, healed sick people, and died poor. He didn't take anything by force, he did it through his word, instead (Like in Revelation, when he is pictured as the first horeseman, with a sword coming out of his mouth). When asked if he was the Messiah, he never admitted to it, instead, he'd say "What do you think?" or something like that. Remember, this is all on FAITH, that's why he couldn't come out and do everything in the open. The gospels hold that Mary and Joseph had to travel to Bethlehem to be counted in a census ordered by the Roman king... another says that Joseph was actually from Bethlehem, all agree that he was born in Bethlehem, just like the prophecy said. He grew up in Nazareth, though... if he had been called "Jesus of Bethlehem", it would have gave away his cards, so to speak... almost everything jesus did was totally backwards from what people expected through prophecy.

Please differentiate between the kerygmatical person Jesus Christ & the historical person Jesus of Nazareth. Moreover, please do not take the gospels as some kind of historical account. The gospels served different purposes & were written for different groups of people. The gospels are not about facts, they're about faith. Btw, I read your posts and only Mark & Source Q were (most probably) written in Hebrew. Luke, Matthew & John were written in Old Greek.
