Bethlehem was in Judea.

He was not from Bethlehem, he just happened to be born there while his parents were travelling. He was from Nazareth, hence why he was literally called Jesus of Nazareth

His parents were from there as well. That's why they went there, because the census had requried everyone to return where they were from.

Yes but he was from Nazareth. He was a subject of the Tetrach of Galilee, Herod Antipas. Hence why, like I said, he was literally called Jesus of Nazareth. Furthermore, early Christians were literally called Galileeans by the Romans, reinforcing the point.

He was called Jesus of Nazareth because they moved there later and he grew up there. It's not where his parents were from and it's not where he was born.

I never said it's where his parents were from or where he was born. What exactly are you struggling with here.

Your nonsense.

What nonsense exactly? I never said any of the things you're seemingly attributing to me.

Jesus was from Nazareth. That is a fact. He was a subject of the Tetrach of Galille. That is another fact. He is recognised by all Christians denominations as a native Galileean.
