Jesus was not born in a stable, says theologian Rev Ian Paul writes on his blog that birth of Christ story is based on a misreading of the New Testament https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/dec/23/jesus-christ-not-born-in-stable-theologian-new-testament +++ Extrapolation ALERT. Voi, Saiba bhogos! My visual focus and understanding for three decades has stemmed from looking at religion, sexuality and consciousness. I didn't know then, I was overreaching; Still, looking down these ways and within them has afforded moments of insight. I look around now, somebody shares thoughts or a book (although the days of buying are over). Yet, I stand and watch through my understanding of Jeremiah 6:16. 16 Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein. Rev Ian Paul's blog Psephizo https://www.psephizo.com/biblical-studies/jesus-really-wasnt-born-in-a-stable/ "My blog is called *Psephizo*, using the Greek verb meaning ‘to calculate’, ‘work out’ or ‘reckon’—my American friends might translate this as ‘go figure’ or ‘do the math’. The word only occurs twice in the New Testament, once in Luke 14.28 <https://biblia.com/bible/esv/Luke%2014.28> in his version of Jesus’ warning to reckon the cost of discipleship before embarking on it, and in Rev 13.18 <https://biblia.com/bible/esv/Rev%2013.18> (seen here in Codex Sinaiticus <http://www.codexsinaiticus.org/en/>) perhaps the most notorious verse in the Bible! It is related to the word *psephos* meaning ‘pebble’, which would have been used to do such calculations, and also occurs only in Luke and Revelation (suggesting a surprising link between the two texts, supported by other links), being the ‘white stone with a new name’ in Rev 2.17 <https://biblia.com/bible/esv/Rev%202.17>" https://www.psephizo.com/about/ +++ And, nothing should stop anyone from thinking of their next crib.
