Why won't he be called the Jesus Christ of Nazareth, this is to tell you that it has been from the begging of the world that children claim their Father state for Joseph is from Nazareth that you are talking abt so we only gave birth to him in Bethlehem |

It is because he was popular in Nazareth. You have to understand that the name 'Jesus' was a common name. And even more so that there would have been other Jesus' in Nazareth. But this particular one had made a name for himself so he was referred to as the Jesus of Nazareth. I.e the one who was popular in Nazareth. |

He was raised and grew up in Nazareth. That is where he was well known before he began his ministry. Let's put the state of origin system operated in Nigeria aside, when someone asks u where u are from or tell u they are from a certain place, the first thing that comes to mind is the place you or they grew up in.That is the place that will feel like home to u. 1 Like |

OLAADEGBU: Question: "Where was Jesus born?" Answer: The Bible chronicles Jesus Christ’s birth in Matthew 1:18–25; 2:1–12; Luke 1:26–38; and 2:1–20. At the time of Mary’s pregnancy, a decree by Caesar Augustus went out that “all the world should be registered” (Luke 2:1). This meant that every person in the Roman Territory was required to return to the city of their ancestors to be counted in a census. |

There was not a town or village called Nazareth during Jesus time. Nazareth was a later creation to satisfy christian tourist. Jesus Nazarenus was wrongly interpreted as Jesus of Nazareth. Some scholars think it should be interpreted as Jesus the Nazarene or Jesus the Nazarite. The people of the day though Jesus was of the Nazarene Cult, which had operated in palestine for hundreds of years before Jesus. |
