YouTube Description
as posted by the channelA huge issue for the New Testament is the census of Quirinius in the Gospel of Luke. But maybe Luke has been right, due to chronological issues in the works of Josephus. Be advised this video is complicated and all we can argue for is plausibility, not proof.
