Anyways changes made, though 2 out of the three did actually made sense accept to those who are deliberately being a pain. And number 10 always said at the manger rather then in!
Yes, James. But the manger was the thing in which Jesus lay not the stable. It was the feeding trough.
1, t
2, t (in a dream though)
3, There was a census requiring all men, and there partners (including betrothed) to go back to there home town.
4, it is thought that it is most likely that they would have travelled on a mule or Donkey, but there is no scriptural evidence to prove this, just common sense and knowledge of the times.
5, we don't know, it doesn't say in the bible that he was, just that he was laid in a manger, so putting 2 and 2 together, he was probably born in a stable, as that's where the manger would be.
6, t
7, F - we don't know the exact date of Jesus birth, calenders weren't exactly big back then
8, we don't really know what season it was, as we don't know the date, adn the seasons in the middle east are quite different to ours, we can be fairly sure it wasn't a white christmas though :D
9, t
10, f, they were living in house by then
11, men, because they were the only gender that did anythign then
12, we don't know how many wise people there were, it just says 'some' in the bible, but the common assumption is 3, as there were 3 gifts brouht to him.
