    Actually, lots of people are named Jesus. For real.

    Fun fact: the Old Testament property said “He shall be called Emmanuel”. >> He wasn’t.

    It said a lot of things; last time I looked there was no Bethlehem in
    Judea until about 60 AD ...but there WAS one in Galilee which
    translates to Jesus having been a Samaritan.

    That's a a claim I had not heard before. I'd be interested in
    seeing a reconcilation between that claim and the following
    references:

    - Judges 17:7-9
    - Judges 19:1-2,18
    - Ruth 1:1-2 (and others in Ruth)
    - 1 Samuel 16:1,4, 16:18, 17:12,15,58, etc.
    - 2 Samuel 23:14-16,24
    - 1 Chronicles 11:16-18,26
    - Jeremiah 41:17
    - Micah 5:2

    At least some of the above are reasonably specific about a
    Bethlehem in Judea rather than Galilee.

    Thanks.
