AnswerThe oldest gospel, Mark's Gospel, does not mention the circumstances of Jesus' birth. However, Matthew's Gospel and Luke's Gospel, both of which are otherwise largely based on Mark's Gospel, say that Jesus was born of a virgin during the reign of King Herod the Great. Matthew's Gospel says that magi, or "wise men", alerted Herod to the birth of Jesus. In Matthew's Gospel, Joseph and Mary took Jesus to Egypt until after Herod's death, then returnned to Judea and decided to migrate to Galilee. There is no mention of the magi or of the flight to Egypt in Luke's Gospel, instead Joseph and Mary came from Galilee to Bethlehem, where Jesus was born, were greeted by shepherds who had been alerted to the birth of Jesus by angels, then returned peacefully to Galilee.

Modern Christians manage to believe in most of what is found in Matthew's Gospel and Luke's Gospel. They believe that Joseph and the virgin Mary came from Galilee to Bethlehem, where Jesus was born and greeted by both the magi and the shepherds, then fled to Egypt. After the death of Herod the Great, they returned to Galilee.

I assume you do not mean "re-incarnation."

Incarnation is the Christian belief that the eternal Second Person of the Godhead, Jesus, took on human flesh and was born of the virgin Mary (John 1:14).

Re-incarnation is the non-Christian belief that people, once they die, come back as other objects or beings.

The Bible teaches man is not eternal. He is a direct creation of God (Psalm 139:13; Genesis 1:26-27). He is not incarnated successively, forced to physically atone for his sins of a previous life that he does not remember. Hebrews 9:26-27 categorically denies such ideas and instead asserts the justice of God. "And it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this is the judgement."

Christians believe that mary and joseph went to bethlehem (josephs home town ) to pay the taxes while mary was heavily pregnant (when she first concieved - without having sex - an angel told her to call the baby jesus ) anyway they get to bethlehem and mary is about to have her kid and they need a place to stay and for mary to have her kid but all the inns (motels ) are full so they downgrade and stay in a stable . Mary gives birth to jesus and names him jesus as directed by the angel . A really bright star shines over bethlehem once mary has given birth . Some more angels go and see shepherds in some fields and tell them that a saviour (jesus ) has been born and that the shepherds should follow the really bright star if they want to see baby jesus . So they do . Then several kings (three wise men ) travel from nearby countries carring gifts of gold frankincense and myrrh that they give to baby jesus . And thats te main bits and yeah then he goes and becomes a grown up and then dies because humans screwed up bigtime and he never screwed up (sinned ) so he died so that humans could go to heaven . And then he rose from the dead three days after he died and heaps of people saw him and then he rose up to heaven .

If you are referring to the act of Jesus' death and resurrection, Christians believe Jesus came back into the same human body in the tomb he was laid to rest.

Is incarnation and avatar have same meaning?

Avatar, from Sanskrit avatara, which is often translated as "incarnation," has the sense of "descent." The late scholar Geoffrey Parrinder wrote a book called Avatar and Incarnation in which he compared the Hindu (and other Eastern) conceptions of avatar with the Christian concept of incarnation. Although both Jesus and, for example, Krishna or Rama could be called descents of God into human form, the exclusivity of Jesus Christ as the "only begotten son" of God according to Christian theology makes the Hindu and Christian concepts somewhat incompatible. That didn't stop Hindus from absorbing Jesus into their pantheon of gods, much to the consternation of Christian missionaries.

What is the Critic for the Mormon Doctrine of Incarnation?

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called "Mormons") do not believe in the Incarnation, that is a Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant Christian doctrine. The Incarnation is the doctrine that the second person of the trinity (God the Son) assumed human form and is therefore both God and Man. Mormons do not believe in the doctrine of the Trinity and therefore do not believe in the doctrine of the Incarnation.
