When was Jesus Christ really born?

Answer 1

it is not his birth but his death and resurrection that really matter

Answer 2

Scripture doesn't mention Jesus's birthdate or any christians celebrating His Birthday. The only birthday mentioned besides Pharoah is the heathen king Herod. "Christmas" means "mass of Christ"; the celebration coexisted in Rome before there was any in Jerusalem. The early Roman Church however did establish a pagan festival that (Jer.10) coexisted with Jesus's Birth and that was the birthday of the sun god. (Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th ed., article: "Christmas"). The Catholic sources admit that Christmas didn't co-exist with the earliest festivals. Jesus wasn't born Christmas; even scripture makes this evident. "On the night of Jesus's birth, the shepherd's were still keeping watch over their flocks." (Luke 2:8). The rainy season in Ancient Israel began after the Feast of Tabernacles which generally is early October. In November, it would be cool and wet; the flocks from the pasture had already been brought and kept in winter quarters by the shepherds. This tells us the shepherds were no longer in the fields at night. Another peice of evidence is overlooked is in Luke 1:35-36; it tells us John the Baptist was born to Mary's cousin Elizabeth six months before Jesus. And as we look further in verse 5-17, we see Zacharias an elderly priest burning incense on the altar and then an angel appearing to him and telling him that he and his wife would have a son to prepare Christ's Way. We know however when this announcement was made by the angel because of Zacharias was "of the course of Abijah" Please look at 1Chron.24:1-19; it tells us that King David divided these priests into 24 "courses" that served in the temple by rotation. The Course of Abijah would be the 8th of the 24 courses which usually would occur around the end of May. Pentecost came the week after the 8th course served and he had to serve all 24 courses during the three festival seasons. So Zacharias came home approximately after the first week of June; in which John the Baptist was conceived around mid-June and 9 months later would be his birth. John Baptist's birth came around mid-March while Jesus's was around mid-September. Also notice every year people claim 3 wise men seen Jesus in a stable; is this really true? The Bible nowhere states "3 wise men" or "that the wise men visited Jesus in a stable". Read for yourself: (Matt.2:11); these Magi came from the east beyond the Euphrates River which in the 1st century was called the Parthian Empire (the eastern border of the Roman Empire).

Answer 3

Jesus evidently was born in the month of Ethanim (September-October) of the year 2 B.C.E., was baptized about the same time of the year in 29 C.E., and died about 3:00 p.m. on Friday, the 14th day of the spring month of Nisan (March-April), 33 C.E. The basis for these dates is as follows:

Jesus was born approximately six months after the birth of his relative John (the Baptizer), during the rule of Roman Emperor Caesar Augustus (31 B.C.E.–14 C.E.) and the Syrian governorship of Quirinius , and toward the close of the reign of Herod the Great over Judea.—Mt 2:1, 13, 20-22; Lu 1:24-31, 36; 2:1, 2, 7.

Answer 4

Gennesis Dec. 25, 3 BC

Birth Sept. 29, 2 BC

Baptism Oct. 14, AD 29

Crucifixion Apr. 3 AD 33

Answer 5

Some scholars say in the spring, which is the most logical, as it was a time when everyone had to return to their city of birth to be counted and taxed.

It would be illogical to require whole populations to travel long distances in the middle of winter (i.e. December 25), when it is cold and rainy in that region.

Answer 6

Really, no one knows of the day or month since it doesn't mention it in the bible. But it does say that he was born when sheperds were out with their flocks outside.(Luke 2:7,8) So it was at a time when it was warm that Jesus was born and when sheperds were outside with their sheep.

Answer 7

Probably in the late spring or summer of 4 BC. But we don't really know exactly. And since we don't know for sure, Christmas is as good a time as any to celebrate His birth.

Answer 8

It is thought to be in April of 4 BC. The math got screwed up by St. Denis the Error-prone

Answer 9

Scholars say it would have been during the summer months. Since we don't know for sure, Dec 25 is just as good a date as any to acknowledge His birth.

Answer 10

April the first. Jesus is the Lamb of God. lamb are born in the spring.
