What would have happened if Mary and Joseph had not gone to Bethlehem to be registered?
If Mary and Joseph had not gone to Bethlehem to be registered, it is plausible that Jesus would not have been born in Bethlehem, fulfilling the prophecy that the Messiah would come from that city. This could have altered the narrative of the Nativity story and the significance of Jesus' birthplace in Christian theology. Additionally, the lack of a journey to Bethlehem may have changed the circumstances surrounding Jesus' early life, including the visit of the shepherds and the Magi, which are integral to the Christmas story.

Did Mary and Joseph leave Bethlehem on horseback?
If Mary and Joseph left Bethlehem to flee to Egypt, as stated in Matthew's Gospel, they would certainly have walked, since travelling on horseback would have drawn attention to themselves.If Mary and Joseph left Bethlehem to return to Nazareth via Jerusalem, as stated in Luke's Gospel, they could have travelled on horseback if they had sufficient money to afford to do so, but Luke's Gospel tells us they were so poor they could only offer two pigeons as a sacrifice in the Temple. In this story, they must have walked from Nazareth to Bethlehem and then back again.

How do you diagram the sentence Mary and Joseph took Jesus to Bethlehem?
Thought I'd take a stab at this... Joseph took Mary to Bethlehem on a donkey, Mary was going to give birth to Jesus. After Jesus was born they moved to egypt to escape Herod, a Roman King
Would Mary and Joseph's parents have gone to Bethlehem also?
At the time of Luke's journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem, Mary and Joseph were only bethrothed, and Mary was still a virgin. We can assume that they were both in their teens, with Mary probably in her early teens. Their parents would likely still have been alive and less than forty years old. If there really was a census during the reign of King Herod, something most scholars dipute strongly, then Joseph's parents would have been expected to go Bethlehem as well. Tradition tends to support the notion that Mary was also descended from King David, although the Bible is silent on this, in which case we could also expect her parents to travel to Bethlehem as well. However, for some reason, Luke's Gospel makes no mention of the extended family travelling together to Bethlehem.
What did Mary and Joseph have to do to obey the order for a census?
Luke's Gospel says that Mary and Joseph had to travel from Nazareth in Galilee to Bethlehem in Judea, and be counted there for the census. However, scholars say that not only was the census at the wrong time for the nativity story in Luke's Gospel, there would never have been a requirement for Mary and Joseph to travel from Galilee where they would be taxed, to Judea where any census record would have no value in ensuring the collection of taxes. They say that the journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem simply did not happen.
