"... trying to reconcile a prophecy that the messiah would be born in Bethlehem with another prophecy that he would be from Nazareth."
I have heard this too. But when I've tried to find out more there are so many People With Agendas in the mix I kind of give up trying to learn anything of consequence.
So, I focus more on what people remember about the story. Because I think we latch on to things that make sense, that keep such stories alive.
