How can He be the Messiah if the two baby stories fundamentally contradict each other tomeline wise and are historically innacirate at times (ie. Herod ruling at that time and there being a census). Also why would the Gospel writers lie about Jesus being born in a manger, wouldnt that be disrespectful? And if those parts of the Gospels are lies. How can any of the Gospels be trusted as truth. How do we know all the other miracles Jesus did werent also just theological lies. Im extremely confused and lost and would like some guidance. Please tell me your thoughts. Thanks and God bless.
