Was Jesus Actually Born In Bethlehem?
Sir, according to the same gospel used as a source of information that Jesus was born in Bethlehem, it is stated that Mary traveled from Nazareth to Bethlehem while pregnant. Traveling this far while pregnant is possible if she undertook the journey in the early months of her pregnancy. Additionally, people from Jerusalem could easily visit Bethlehem, as they could ride on horses and donkeys. I did ask whether their view aligns better with the Quran: “Does their view align better with the Quranic wording and context, as explained by Ghamidi Sahab?” Lengthy walks were common for people during Jesus’ time. I agree that this doesn’t affect the core message of the religion, but my question pertains to its historical nature.
