That's because those are simply stories. If you do your research, the Christian Jesus is really a re-make of past Gods like Horus who was also born around December 25th, died and was resurrected according to mythology. Also, he was said to have performed miracles long before Jesus. There are many more other gods with similar stories who predate Jesus. Those stories have been marginalized and downplayed by the Judeo-Christian leaders.

In fact, he suggests that he did not even believe that Jesus was born in Bethlehem.
Can you give a list of places in the story of birth of Jesus in the bible?
There are two accounts of Jesus' birth - both, of course, in the New Testament although there are many prophecies in the Old Testament which foretold his birth.The two accounts are inMatthew's Gospel Chapter 1 verse 18 through to the end of Chapter 2 which tells of the Wise men from the east, the slaughter of the innocent children and the flight to Egypt.Luke's Gospel Chapters 1 and 2, which tells first of John the Baptist's birth and the events leading up to Mary's pregnancy and Jesus' birth finishing with prophecies from Anna and Simeon about the nature of Jesus.Both birth stories are different but were written for different audiences and from different points of view. However, putting them together gives us a much fuller picture of the events surrounding Jesus' birth and so that is how they are meant to be read.

Where does the Bible say Jesus was two years old when the wise men visited Him?
A:The Bible does not say that Jesus was two years old when the wise men visited him. Matthew's Gospel does say that after their visit, King Herod sought to have all the baby boys under two years old killed, so as to kill Jesus. This leads to the conclusion that Herod was uncertain how old Jesus was, but that he was confident that Jesus was much younger than two. Because the nativity accounts in Matthew and Lukeare so contradictory, some have sought to harmonise them by saying that the events in Luke occurred at the time of Jesus' birth and the events in Matthew occurred two years later, when Jesus was two. This explanation glosses over differences in the two accounts, but is the reason that some point to Herod's slaughter of children under two years old as meaning that Jesus was just two at the time the wise men arrived.
Which two books in the New Testament tell us about the birth of Jesus and why are they different?
A:The two books that contain stories of the birth of Jesus are the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) says the two accounts are "massively different" and virtually irreconcilable.Scholars have established that the authors of of Matthew and Luke relied on Mark's Gospel for everything they knew about the life and mission of Jesus, but Mark does not mention the birth of Jesus. Faced with a need to tell their respective communities more about the life of Jesus, these two anonymous authors had to write something, but when each wrote, he was unaware of what the other had written. The two authors knew from Mark that Jesus' mother was called Mary and that Jesus would live in Nazareth, and they knew that the Jewish Messiah ought to be born in Bethlehem, but apart from this we get two very different nativity accounts.In the view of John Shelby Spong (Born of a Woman: A Bishop Rethinks the Birth of Jesus), neither of the nativity stories contains any historical truth.
Is the birth of Jesus described in other books of the New Testament as well as Matthew?
A:There are two different stories of the birth of Jesus - one in Matthew's Gospel and one in Luke's Gospel. The irreconcilable differences in the two biblical accounts prompted Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) to say that inspiration does not guarantee historicity or reconcilability -otherwise God should have inspired the two evangelists to give us the same record.
Was there an actual record for the birth of Jesus?
_______________The birth of Jesus was never recorded, but if he was born during the reign of King Herod, this would have been before April 4 BCE, and probably some years before.The birth of Jesus is reported in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. However, Matthew was written during the 80s of the first century, while Luke was written around the end of the first century, both long after the birth of Jesus. The authors could not have known the parents of Jesus and were almost certainly born after the time of the crucifixion. This explains the considerable disparities between the two accounts. There is no reason to consider that either account is more accurate than the other, so we can not say that we have an actual record of the birth of Jesus Christ.
What do the first two chapters in the book of Matthew tell us in the Bible?
The family tree of Jesus and the birth of Jesus Christ.
Which major prophet wrote two of the major prophecies?
It is the major prophet Isaiah , one the birth of jesus christ and two second death of Jesus Christ.
In John 3 what are the two kinds of births that Jesus taught?
Jesus was speaking to nicodemus,he was basically confirming Jesus identity. Jesus told nicodemus that no one can see the kingdom of GOD unless he is born again. Jesus was speaking of a physical flesly birth, and being born of the HOLY SPIRIT. So the answer is a fleshly birth and a spiritual birth.
