Which of the following is not true about the birth of Jesus according to the Bible?

Untrue. The Magi did not arrive until the Christ Child was about 18 months old.

In Luke they left Bethlehem and returned to Nazareth, their home town. In Matthew they fled Bethlehem and went to Egypt. In Luke Jesus was called a babe, in Matthew He was called a young child. Experts say that there was at least a year between the two events.

They did visit ....on the Feast of the Epiphany...bringing the gifts...hence all 4 answers are correct!

Sheila Breslin Smyth, But it never says there were three of them or that the baby they brought the gifts to was still in the manger.

Keep religion out of the quiz.

They did visit Sheila Breslin Smyth, but not at the stable. They visited a house. And the Bible never says there were three magi, it only mentions three gifts. So the one statement is not true.

If 3 guys tell different stories, no one knows the truth. So why does everybody who commented here think they know?

Sheila Breslin Smyth, There is no reference anywhere in the Bible as to how many visited. Beca u send there were 3 gifts, it has been assummed that 3 visited. This is an awesome question!

Topic of religion is a never ending argument. As if everybody knows everything. I never argue about faith. Because everybody have one.

It is just a story, there are no factual records of the supposed event!

One fallacy often seen regarding Jesuss birth is that he was so poor. Poor my foot! Joseph was a carpenter, and as all artisans did reasonably well. The reason of his being born in a stable is that the hotels were full, because of the census.

tesla alset, Good try Tesla sorry you missed it.

I don't think we should dwell on the specifics or argue about them. We don't know the number of Magi or what time of year any of this occurred. The matter of importance is the Son of God was born in humble means for a reason and came to us in human form. It just so happens we celebrate it in December. And that is all wonderful in itself!

The Maji did come to Bethlehem but not at His birth.

Kath Thomson, Which would mean changing the date of the celebration as well since it most likely occurred in the spring season. Solstice became a convenient hitching post for the observation of Christmas to tie it in with the pagan celebration. Toast!

all 4 statements are true according to KJV. The question did not ask what was correct according to the Book of Luke.

There have been many additions and alterations to the story of Jesus' birth over the years particularly by the Catholic Church. Jesus wasn't born in a 'stable' but propbably in the undercroft of a house which was used to house animals during winter, hence the presence of a manger or food trough; Francis of Assissi added animals to the nativity scene - no animals are mentioned in the original; the shepherds, who saw Jesus in the manger, were watching the flocks at night, so it wasn't winter and there wasn't any snow about else the sheep would have been in the undercroft; the number of Eastern astrologers was never mentioned but Catholic tradition has names for the '3' of them; and the star they followed came to rest over a house where Jesus was a child. These additions and alterations have become embedded in the Christmas story and there is no way to get rid of them except by starting a new festival to celebrate Jesus birth based on accuracy!!

‘No room at the inn’ may be an error in interpretation. The original text could be interpreted as ‘no room in the room’ which refers to the style of enclosed houses used with their livestock in the bottom part of the house. People actually slept on the terrace/ roof. Archaeology has not found remains of an Inn.

The Bible does not say 3 magi...it only references 3 gifts...people assume 3 magi

Scott Dentz, everywhere is busy at Christmas!! 😂 😂 😂

There was plenty of room at the Inn

you say what bible says

hi there is no stable mentioned in the bible the wise men came to a child in a house
