Ensign for unified Judaism, Christianity and Mormonism

 

Where was Jesus born?
It is popularly believed that Jesus was born in Bethlehem (see map). Paragraph 014 in This Good Riddle nevertheless shows that Jesus was instead from Nazareth which is in Galilee (see map). The religious leaders of Jerusalem (the Pharisees, the Sadducees, the priests, the elders, and the scribes) therefore discriminated against him and all of his apostles who were also from Galilee (see paragraph 124). Among other reasons, the religious leaders discriminated because Galilee was inhabited by people who had migrated eastward from the coast of the Mediterranean, and were therefore not considered by the religious leaders to be "children of Abraham". That they were not children of Abraham, in the sense of DNA, is succinctly stated in paragraph 003 of This Good Riddle by means of the phrase "Galilee of the Gentiles". (For a summary of how this situation came into existence, please see the history of Judah.)

Additional Comment:
The word "Bethlehem" means "house of bread". The figurative "house of bread" is not necessarily located in the literal "house of bread".
