    Yeah the bible does not say a lot.

    I would suspect that it finianced their travels to Egypt.

    It is not known if there were "3" wise men. There were 3 gifts - gold, frankencense, and murr, but the Bible only says that "wise men" came to worship the baby Jesus. They did not give an actual number of wise men that came to worship the newborn king. It's anybody's guess as to what happened to the 3 gifts.

    You are correct! I stand in error. It was how I was taught in church though.
    Might have been 15 of them and all but one were stingy bastards.

    the east would be from that dreaded Islam area?

    Where have I mocked Christianity in this thread?

    You appear to be like those sanctimonious bastards in the church I was raised in who punished me for asking questions.

    Only fools do not ask questions about something as important as their religion.
