Can anyone prove that Christ was really born on Dec 25?

Answer 1

Actually it was more likely He was born early fall, around the feast of Sukkot. That would explain them traveling, that is a more accurate time for shepherds to be the fields. Anyone who thinks the flocks are in the fields late Dec has never wintered there!

Answer 2

December 25th is only the date that the Roman Catholic Church, and everyone who follows them their teachings, place Christmas in order to appease the Roman Christians who had trouble living by the strict standards of Christ. The Aposttle Paul had the same problems. Interesting, this is what caused the Greek Orthodox Church to split from them, as they wanted it on January 5th, which is when they celebrate. Of course they are forcing their children to be different from all other Christian children.

Christ was born some time after the fist full moon of the fall equinox. All major Bible events seem to fall either on this date or on the first full moon after the Spring equinox, which is when John the Baptist was born. He was six months older than Christ. The Bible says Christ was 33 1/2 when he died in the Spring.

None of this means much as Christendom does not care about learning or following accurate facts. They think that some and even most facts of the Bible are unimportant, because they will be saved despite whatever they do.

Answer 3

Good question, and very controversial, I might add. It CANNOT be proven, as Christ was born in the Fall of the year, around the Feast of Trumpets, ( a Holy day, declared by God) December 25th can be proven as a compromise between the Roman church and myths, but it is NOT in the Bible.
Celebrating Christ's birthday in December is a Pagan celebration, not Biblical. It may be fine to observe it traditionally, with the gathering, the dinner, and socially, BUT Christ is not in it, and never has been.
December 25th is all about commercialism, and tradition; and even IF remotely connected to Christ's birthdate, what does all the greed, and materialism have to do with Christ, anyway?
God wants to be worshipped in spirit and TRUTH.
Look up what the Bible has to say about observances that are Pagan.

Answer 4

ACTUALLY NO YOU CANT PROVE SOIMETHING THAT DIDNT HAPPEN ON THAT DATE .!!!!!!!!!!! According to Luke 2:8-11 the shepherds were out in the field with the flocks and slept out of doors with them this they would not do in the cold rainy season in december as both they and the flocks would inside for the winter why risk losing your livelyhood in the cold and rain when they could be protected inside M' Clintock and Strongs Cyclopedia says " the observance of christmas is not of divine appointment nor is it of new testament origin the day of Christs birth cannot be ascertained from the new testament or indeed from any other source" vol II p 2761871 new york and Im sure you know about how the date got picked to appease the pagans and has nothing to do with Jesus birth Encyclopedia Americanna vol 6 P666 1977 the new catholic encyclopedia vol III P656 1967 and all the customs associated with it are also totally pagan it has no christian roots Gorbalizer

Answer 5

While I will not say for now that Jesus was born exactly on Dec. 25, it is close. Figure the time starting with Luke 1 (the conception of John the Baptist) as being close to Yom Kippur.

Another obstacle one will encounter is the difference between (USA) Gregorian calender, and the Jewish calendar which is currently different.

Answer 6

No, It's been known for Years, that He wasn't born on Dec. 25. It is believed to be in the spring...

Answer 7

Assuming the Bible is accurate for argument's sake, Jesus of Nazareth was not born on December 25. That is simply the traditional date ingrained over time because it coincided with the Pagan Yule and Saturnalia celebrations.

Answer 8

There is no record, either in Scripture or in history, of the early Church celebrating the birth of the Messiah.

Taxation took place in the Spring so it is more likely that he was born around Easter. The date was set by Pope Julius I in order to more easily convert non-Christians with celebrations at that time of year.

Answer 9

Nobody can prove that because Jesus was not born on 25 Dec.

Answer 10

He wasn't. He was born in March. December 25th is the Winter Solstice and supposed birthday of Sol Invictus, a god worshipped by Constantine the Great. The December 25th birthday thing was voted in at the Council of Nicea along with that whole virgin birth thing they "borrowed" from Mithra. It's a bunch of hooey.
