When did Rome every request a census between 4 BC-6 AD AND wanted it's citizens to back to their homeland? Here's something funny, the town Christ was said to be born in wasn't a functioning town during Christ's supposed birth.

@HybridD91 My understanding is that Roman taxation was based on property and not headcount. Certainly they were pragmatic enough not to order people back to their original homes. The logistics of managing such a tax would have cost more than the revenue.

Deist -

5) There is NO CONTRADICTION between the synoptics and John on the time of the temple cleansing. Jesus did this on TWO occasions. Admit that you lied on purpose to make a supposed point.

[DeistPaladin]

5.  Two exactly same temple cleansings with the same words spoken by Jesus in Mark and John but at separate times in his ministry? A likely story. Do you have any proof to back this up? Like a passage that says "just as Jesus had done before"? Is this the best apology you can come up with?

Guess what, it's all made up!

There, now it fits.

I love how Harry Potter is more consistent than Christianity.

Number six; a person could baptize someone in the River Jordan on a warm damn during this time, but not every day and at lower altitude. I would, however, suggest against it.

This "timeline" recently made major news and has been explained. (just like other apprarent "contradictions" in the Bible that have been shown to be false, one by one. This video has no point and has been effectively refuted like the rest.

[BIBLEisMARKofBEAST]

The BIBLE is the MARK of the BEAST! Constantine (1st beast) legalized Christianity and had 50 bibles compiled. King James, homo (2nd beast) 666 # of a man, born 1566, 6th of Scotland, authorized 66 book bible, image of God's word, carried in your hand, memorized in your head, made to speak (the bible says) and is used as an object of worship. Your faith will fail.

in answer to question at 2:25

No, Rome wouldn't have been able to directly tax kingdoms who paid tributes, if they paid tax directly they would have had to have been a province with a governor, not a kingdom with a king. But... if Rome requested something like a census from a tribute offering kingdom, the ruler of that territory would have obeyed the request.

I've just done a search.

Zeusbark starts it well with:

"I Claudius ep1 A Touch of Murder (1/10)"

[naganokumas]

Watch "I Claudius" (in its entirety). It was a 1970's BBC thing about the family at the helm of the Roman Empire. Brilliant.

Once watched, these dates being explained can be much better appreciated.

Watch "I Claudius", and then watch this again.

Alas, the whole of "I Claudius" might take 12 hours non-stop, but it's something you can't really do without when trying to appreciate such things as this, and so much more.

Investigate these 12 hours of viewing.

I'm sure someone knows of S1E1P1.
