What utter nonsense, good grief Galveston, read the biblical accounts.
They "worshipped the young child". Has this been removed from your translation? I bet it has as it people worshipping Jesus.
They brought and left expensive gifts
They were divinely warned not to return to Herod and so went home by another route.
These the the stated facts of the account Galveston. Nowhere does the scripture indicate what you are suggesting.

It seems that throughout the bible god's knowledge is only
equal to Man's knowledge at the time. Curious don't you think?

The Visit of the Magi
2 Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying, 2 “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him.” 3 When Herod the king heard this, he w ...[text shortened]... ink God was trying to hide anything at all.

I never said that if you'd read my postings.
