Gospel Truth vs. Honest Truth

Christian or not, we all know the story of the first Christmas, or more accurately, the story of the birth of Jesus. What we “KNOW” has been related to us from the biblical accounts, and Christians take those as the gospel truth.

But is the GOSPEL truth REALLY the truth?

Probably not, and there are political reasons for that. What we read in the Bible was related orally for years, decades and in some cases centuries before being written down by mere men, later translated by mere men, and perhaps most importantly, later edited by not-so-mere-men, as in Kings to be used for more political purposes.
