Luke's Census and Its historical problems.
I know there are some responses given by apologists for the problems discussed on this blog, if you want a detailed critiques on those apologetic responses, i recommend you refer to chapter 3 of Croys book.

Good Night 🌃

Here we go: the first of four!
In this highly compressed article, I discuss the scholarly discussion regarding the birth place of Jesus.
I am not arguing for any position. Neither am I fully convinced by any of the arguments. Cause The evidences are based on speculations and not on hard evidence. Meaning "X would[n't] have done this, so it probably did[n't] happen " types of argument.

Since I tried very hard to make it as short as possible, Some ideas may not have been articulated well. So If there is anything unclear, let me know in the comments. I will elaborate. You can also go read my primary source book "Escaping Shame: Mary’s Dilemma and the Birthplace of Jesus" , the first two chapters , for in-depth explanation.
The next part will be posted tomorrow. Hope you will enjoy :)

@bekacru_c was my secret santa and He got me not just a gift. But 2 gifts 😀😀

The first one being the domain name kirakos.dev 🔥🔥  I was always meaning to get my hands on this domain name. Beka came to the rescue. Expect my portfolio and blogs  up there very soon

He also went ahead and got me a telegram premium subscription. Hence the animated emojies everywhere on these posts 😀 

I just wanna say Beka thank you from the bottom of my heart for these awesome gifts that you got me 🙏🙏

Now Lets go get that domain up and running
We have a lot of work to do ahead of us 😀

And I was Secret Santa of @innovate_aastu

Right after I knew that,  I tried surfing his telegram channel and found mostly work / dev stuff. So The other option was sneaking into Babi's DM with alt account to know more about him.😂😂  And Babi told me that He is a devout Protestant and  member of AASTU Christian Fellowship.

So I got him this book titled "የእግዘብሔር ክርስቶስ" written by Tegegn Mulgeta. It centered around historical christology and walks through how the theology has been explained for the past 2000 years  in the history of the church.

Tegegn is one of my favorite theologians in Ethiopia and I was already feeling thrill from the start to the moment I delivered the book to him.

Organized by none other than @DagmawiBabi, me and other 30 telegram channel owners gathered to do Secret Santa for this Christmas , where we give each other a gifts while also keeping secret  the gift + the gifter  until the final unboxing day ... 🎁

This was the first time the community did this.(everyone prolly did it previously in another occasion ) But I actually once did this back when I was younger (about 6 years ago or sth) . And this one was different in that I didn't know much about who I am gifting.  But it didn't take that much effort, cause I pulled off a good move to know about the person without having to be noticed.( more on it bellow )

Bcha I am glad and will always be thankful that I am part of this wholesome community 😍😍😍
