what is the date of Jesus's birth?

Answer 1

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 2

According to prophecy and the Christian Greek Scriptures, the length of Jesus’ ministry was 3 ½ years. Jesus died on Passover, Nisan 14 in the spring of 33 C.E. according to the Jewish calendar. This corresponded to April 1, 33 C.E. Counting back to his baptism, which, according to Luke at Luke 3:21-23, took place when he was about 30 years old, puts his baptism in the year of 29 C.E. in the fall, about October. Counting back 30 years from that event obviously places Jesus’ birth in the fall, about October. We do not know the exact date. The scriptures give us information to ascertain all of the above but no information to ascertain the exact date. It is, however, well-know and well-established that Jesus’ birthday is not December 25th.

Answer 3

The traditional celebration of Jesus' birth is at Christmas.

Nobody knows the actual date of Jesus's birth indeed.

I believe the date of his birth is more scientifically tracked to be closer to the time we celebrate his death. The current days are actually procurred pagen holidays to encourage converting to Christianity.
