No one knows the exact day or even month of Jesus' birth, some historians even place his birth around 5 B.C. (pretty neat trick, huh), Dec 25 was chosen by the early church to supplant (take the place of, replace) a pagan festival to the sun. That way everyone would be worshipping Jesus on that day instead of a Roman god.

basically those who do not question some thing trust Jesus birthday is Dec. twenty fifth. Others basically settle for it for the relaxing. Has all of us actual stricken to question how Jesus feels about any of this? if so, why did he under no circumstances have a good time his personal beginning? He taught his disciples and they taught many others. Why did none of those have a good time his beginning for more beneficial than 2 hundred years after his death? The Bible does make sparkling God's organic worship is under no circumstances to be polluted with pagan fake worship. As Ephesians 5:10-11 it seems that says, to make confident of what's ideal and provides you up sharing in works belonging to darkness. The date of December twenty fifth is from pagan Roman faith. that's both a get at the same time of the Roman god of agriculture and the god of the solar worship. both befell on December twenty fifth. each little thing else linked with the holiday is likewise from pagan origins. Do you imagine drunken activities giving wrapped presents take position because of Christmas? No. they are element of those Roman gods gala's. If we heavily study the Bible files, we come across Jesus replaced into about 6 months youthful than his cousin, John the Baptist. this would positioned his beginning sometime about September, at the same time as shepherds will be outdoors with their sheep. although the Bible is sparkling about many stuff that are important for Christian followers of the authentic God, the date besides as instructions to have a good time Jesus' beginning isn't there.

Christmas replaced a pagan holiday, Late December holidays are steaped in human tradition.
WHO knows when Jesus was actually born, it can be off by 11 months, 6 months, 23 days and even 3 or 4 years.
ALL CHristian holidays were conveniently placed atop of pagan holidays in order to replace them.
Christmas has actually not much to do with Christ. ALL the atheists I know, including myself, celebrate "Christ" mas.

No
Most people tend to believe it was in the springtime.
There was a tax census that historians found and eve theologians find it credible and believe that could be the actual date. It also puts his birth at 4-6 AD not 1 AD.
There was NO census in 1 AD. Not in December or any other month.
So if the Bible is to be accurate it must reflect other realities.
Certainly the historical records could be in error
One thing is for sure, you won't find shepards out in the fields in December in Palestine. Way too cold. Frozen lamb chops.

No one knows the exact day, month or year of JC's birth. I've even heard of one theory of him being born six years earlier than previoulsy thought (i.e. we should be in 2012 now). December 25 used to be a pagan holiday of some importance (I think it was for the Sun god) Pagan converts to Christianity simply changed the diety.

As the actual birth day of Christ is not known, as already said, the Church chose an old pagan festival to celebrate Our Lord's birth and to obliterate the pagan feast. Actually, I don't think it was a bad choice. What would December be like without the marvel of the Feast of Christmas ?

Nope, 25.12 is only the midpoint, worked out by climatologists considering the driest day off the monsoon winds on the equator verses turn off winter time to summer time.
No wonder the Bible says nothing about it!

So many people seem to count his birth as the start of history and time.
Except 6000 whole years (six thousand) before the hippy scroungers birth the Egyptians were beinging organized agriculture and large building construction in the Nile Valley.
