Believe me, it wasn't @ Christmas time!!!!!!!
Science has the proof of the alignment of the stars when Jesus was born.
but, once again, religion is placing Jesus' birth incorrectly, but in order for the religion to make money, religion had the birth coinside with the end of the year. The faithful wil never be able to prove when Jesus was born. If Jesus is so important to them, why can't they know when Jesus was born.

I wil give the person who gets this question right $100.00

Good Luck, oh yea of little faith.

Love and Peace

I don't know and I don't care when he was born. Christmas is not a holiday celebrating him. It's a holiday celebrating money, gifts for no reason, and @ssbag shoppers. Sometimes I wish Christmas would quit being a holiday. It lost its "true" meaning long ago. I'm not a Christian, but my family is. I don't celebrate Christ but I do spend that time with family. I'm so sick of that "holiday" I could barf.

A. The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church (Third Edition, 1998) in its article on "Christmas" details the history of the dating of Christmas. The article points out that the time of Christ's birth was a matter of speculation and even dispute in the early centuries of of the Christian church. The celebration of Christ's birth on a specific day did not become a general practice until the 4th century. The earliest mention of December 25 is in a calendar representing Roman practice of the year 336, the date probably chosen to oppose the pagan feast of the sun. Other traditions of the dating were present, including the Eastern tradition of connecting Christ's birth with Epiphany on January 6 (a practice still followed in the Eastern churches).

The Scriptures, of course, do not give us a precise date for Christ's birth and therefore it must always remain a man of conjecture. It is not a doctrinal matter.

3 to 4 BC is the consensus. Actually the reason His "Birthday" is celebrated during Dec. 25th is because this coincided with a Pagan Holiday that the ancient Romans used to celebrate. But when the Edict of Milan was signed under the reigns of Constantine I and Licinius in westen Rome it established tolerance for Christianity throughout the Empire & group the days so more Roman citizens would be willing to celebrate it. Which is also why there is a Christmas tree.

You are quite correct jesus was not born in Dec the Bible Doesnt give a date as to when he was Born the year was around 2B.C.E. if you want to do some digging look in Luke ch 2 it says Caesar Augustus was rulling and Quirinius was governor of syria also it could not be in wintertime as the shepherds were out in the fields with their sheep and Joseph and Mary were having to travel for the registration and nobody would take a long ride by donkey with their wife 9months pregnant we dont even do it today in a nice a/c car is this close enough for you best wishes Gorbalizer

Between 4 and 12 BCE. However, the particular stellar alignments mentioned occured three times in that period, which is why it is not possible to be more specific. However, the shepherds were out tending their flock. Therefore, it was probably during the spring.

Most likely, it was the closest of the three alignments to 1BCE/1CE. So probably the spring of 4 BCE.

we have an exact date but its different for all countrys for us it christmas and for middle east it january 6

that is because in the past we all have different calender why do you think we dont do new year all at the same time and day

but the year was 1 AD thats why BC is before christ and AD stands for Anno Domini which means in the days of christ....

And yes jesus is very important to us. to us he is our salvation. it is good enough he was born and science and the roman empire proves he was crucifed.....

so before you call us little of faith i think you should look up all the fact before afending us and calling us little of faith aleast we have faith

It doesn't matter when Jesus was born. What matters is the significance of His birth.

For us Christians, the Christmas stories draw us closer to Jesus, whose life and words draw us closer to God.

Bible scholars have come to the conclusion it was around the year 3 or 4 b.c. and he was born in Nov.

Hi,
wrong question though...
When is he going to return, and will we be ready.
OR BETTER YET-
*WHEN WERE YOU BORN(AGAIN) THAT IS.
I PRAY YOU KNOW FOR YOUR OWN GOOD THAT IS.
Save the $100, and spend time alone with the creator and his word.

Jesus of Nazareth became into maximum in all probability born between 7 CE and a couple of BCE*, in the course of the reign of Herod the great, who died in 4 BCE, even however the Jewish historian, Josephus, on no account mentions "the slaughter of the innocents", or the killing of latest child little one boys mentioned in Matthew (2:sixteen-18). in accordance to Luke, Jesus became into born while the 1st census became into taken in the Roman provinces of Syria and Judea in 6 CE in the course of the reign of the Roman emperor Augustus Caesar (27 BCE -- CE 14). Christ maximum probable wasn't born on December twenty 5th through fact that Christians initiate celebrating his birthday on the twenty 5th of December in the fourth century CE to offset the Roman Saturnalia pageant. Luke speaks of shepherds gazing their flocks by utilising night while Christ became into born, so Jesus became into in line with probability born on a night while it became into heat sufficient for sheep to graze exterior. by the kind, the verb born is extraordinary. The previous annoying of born is a similar through fact the present annoying. The verb is conjugated in the present, previous, and destiny tenses as follows: i'm born. you're born. He, she, it is born. we are born. You (pl.) are born. i became into born. You have been born. He, she, it became into born. We have been born. You (pl.) have been born. They have been born. I would be born back (in the Christian experience). you would be born back. He, she, it is going to likely be born back. we are able to be born back. You (pl.) would be born back. they are going to be born back. ------ *between advert 7 and a couple of BC.
