Nazareth and Bethlehem did not exist in the time of Jesus

[thinktank]

Your the one posting that bethlehem and Nazareth don't exist, the claim is backed up by plenty of evidence, including posting christian bashing websites to validate some of your claims.

What exactly are you trying to claim?

Can't be that hard to figure out if you read the thread title?  :dontknow:

It has just occured to me that isn't this textual criticism?

This thread could be regarded as antibibiblical and antichrist, denying the prophetic word that Christ comes from Bethlehem.

Could be regarded as such; but your view even more so.
---------------------------------

How so?

Your the one denying the scriptures, hence going against forum rules and scripture. I am sticking up for the authority of the scriptures.
You have directly said that there is no place as Nazareth and Bethlehem during the time of Jesus and also said the gospel writers got that wrong amongst many other things. The gospels make frequent mention of these places. You have not offered anything of value in this thread, other than placing doubts in the hearts of believers.

If Nazareth and Bethlehem did not exist, where was Jesus born, Pluto?

I have two answers for that TT:
a] Generally speaking: if something isn't clear study it or just accept it as a unknown don't just assume something to ease your mind.
b] I think you didn't read and/or understood this thread. Two words: Constelation Bethlehem.

didn't Jesus say 'I AM FROM ABOVE" and I AM THE TRUE BREAD FROM HEAVEN.....He is truly the firstborn son of the House of God.

.....Enoch wrote of the dwelling places of the zodiac when he was taken into heaven

Jesus said a lot of things :-)

There were "many" Bethlems. It were towns with a mill that could grind grain to very fine flour.
Jesus was born from above. Obviously that points to His way of conception.
But He was also born under star sign Virgo (see Rev. virgin standing on the moon)
Virgo=Virgin. But that virgin is also holding an ear of grain. A zodiac sign is also called a house. So Virgo was also called house of grain. = Bethlehem.
So even if all historians and archologists are wrong and there really was a town Bethlehem then I still think it's more than just a town.

me too!   You must be born again .   Rev 12   a great and wondrous sign appeared in heaven,a woman clothed with the sun,with the moon under her feet

and a crown of twelve stars on her head

SOE ch 21v 7  and I saw the eighth heaven which is called in the hebrew tongue'Muzaloth',changer of the seasons,of drought and of wet,and of the 12 signs of the zodiak

  which are above the seventh heaven. and I saw the ninth heaven,which is called in Hebrew,'Kuchavim, where are the heavenly homes[house?] of

  the 12 signs of the zodiac.

Which book is that?

Many times in this thread I wrote "Bethelhem is house of bread".
That's correct according to lexicons. But still there might be a hidden word play....

Bethel = "house of God"
1) ancient place and seat of worship in Ephraim on border of Benjamin, identified with Luz (former name)
2) a place in south country of Judah, not far from Beersheba and Ziklag

Jesus was born in: House of God's bread.

Just a thought :-)
