I honestly don't think (or even know) if December 25th, in any form, was ever mentioned in the Bible. I'm sure nobody recorded His DOB, so His Apostles never could celebrate His birthday (or Christmas, for that matter). In fact, He was most likely born in April than December.
What exactly do you mean by, "the Apostles ever mention teh Trinity teaching?". Teaching what?
Sorry I couldn't answer scriptually, but that's the best I can do.

You can not answer this question scriptually - because December 25th is a Pagan date - hijacked by early church.

also Christ the historical figure - may have lived for only thirty years, of which three were reported some 70 - 150 years after his death. There were quite a few Jesus's crucified historically, and since the official Jewish genealogies were kept in the temple -These perished when the temple and the archives in Jerusalem were burned by the Romans in 70 - we will never know which one was which.

It is remarkable that, while the manner, place and genealogy of Jesus are carefully described in the opening chapters of Matthew and John, none of the Gospel writers mentions the date—or even the month—of His birth. There is no recorded celebration of the birth of Christ for the first four centuries. The first recorded "Christ mass" was not held until 435, when Pope Sixtus III conducted it in Rome. At a time when it was being sacked by Pagans.

The celebration of December 25th, the birthday of the Sun-god at the winter solstice, is the date Sixtus choose for the nativity of Christ to be celebrated. Dec. 25 was arbitrarily selected, not because Jesus was born on that day, but because it was already popular in pagan religious celebrations as the birthday of the sun.

Mithra, the Persian god of light and sacred contracts, was born out of a rock on December 25. Rome was famous for its flirtations with strange gods and cults, and in the third century [274] the unchristian emperor Aurelian established the festival of Dies Invicti Solis, the Day of the Invincible Sun, on December 25. It is believed that the emperor Constantine adhered to Mithraism up to the time of his conversion to Christianity. He was probably instrumental in seeing that the major feast of his old religion was carried over to his new faith.

The Bible records two circumstances relating to Christ's birth that show that December—or any time during the winter—was a highly unlikely time for Christ's birth. These were the Roman census that took place at the time of His birth and the fact that shepherds were in the fields at night.

The Romans periodically conducted a census for taxation and military recruitment purposes. They were not done in winter, when the temperatures often dropped below freezing and the roads were muddy. A census under such conditions would have been largely self-defeating.

Luke, in describing Christ's birth, tells us that shepherds were in their fields at night at the time Christ was born (Luke 2:8). December would be an unusual time of year to be outside at night - the weather would not have permitted it beyond September.

First that is the birthday of the sun and a thousand years after Christ it was brought into the church. From the evergreen to the date. Everyone knows that Jesus was not born then.
Trinity that was brought in later also: However it is not scriptural.

Jesus was created the almighty has always been here, these are the scriptures to prove it.


(Colossians 1:15-17) . . .5 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; 16 because by means of him all [other] things were created in the heavens and upon the earth, the things visible and the things invisible, no matter whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All [other] things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all [other] things and by means of him all [other] things were made to exist,

(Revelation 3:14) 14 “And to the angel of the congregation in La·o·di·ce´a write: These are the things that the Amen says, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation by God,

(Acts 7:55) 55 But he, being full of holy spirit, gazed into heaven and caught sight of God’s glory and of Jesus standing at God’s right hand,

(Revelation 1:1) 1 A revelation by Jesus Christ, which God gave him, to show his slaves the things that must shortly take place. And he sent forth his angel and presented [it] in signs through him to his slave John,

(Revelation 7:10) 10 And they keep on crying with a loud voice, saying: “Salvation [we owe] to our God, who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb.”

December 25 is not in the Bible, nor was it Jesus' B-Day, nor did He or His apostles ever celebrate His B-Day (according to scripture). There are only two B-Days celebrated in the Bible. The Pharoh's of Joseph's time (When Joseph was in jail) and Herod in Jesus' time. December 25th was the B-Day of the Roman God Jupiter so when Constatine 'converted' he creathe the Roman Catholic Church and masked pagan holidays as christian holidays (holi - holy). But all of this was to lure the real christians from their hiding places to exterminate them. The crusaders were NOT christian, they were catholics. Huge difference, but going back to your other questions. If you read 1John 5:7-8, you will clearly see the teaching of the Trinity. We also see it in Jesus' life. When He was baptized we see Him, the Holy Spirit as a dove and hear the Father talk from heaven. Jesus also stated in John 10:30 that He and the Father are one. Jesus refers to himself in the book of Revelation "the First and the Last" and so does Jehova in the Old Testament (Isaiah 44:6; 48:12). Isaiah 9:6 also states that Jesus is the "Everlasting Father", "Mighty God". In all this we see three distictive persons but one God. Amen.
Finally, Jesus taught us to pray to the Father in His name (John 14:13; 16:23)
God bless and don't hesitate to email me any questions or if you want to talk about anything spiritual.

1) No. Cesar set Jesus' birthday so that everyone could celebrate it at one time. (Do you always celebrate on actual birthday? I don't. I wait for the weekend, so friends and family can attend the celebration.)

2) Matt. 28 talks about the great commission. "Go out to all nations and baptize in the name of the father, son and holy spirit." Also in Luke, when John is baptizing Jesus. As Jesus prayed, the holy spirit in the form of a dove descended upon Jesus and God said from Heaven, "This is my son and I am well pleased."

3) Matt. 6 Jesus tells us how to pray.

brother, no place in the bible does it say that Jesus celebrated his birthday. even his apostles never celebrated Xmas either. the trinity is never mention in the bible. Jesus told us to pray to Jehovah and say in the name of Jesus Christ your son. Jesus did tell us to celebrate his death and since the passover is once a year, we celebrate it once a year. this year on April 2 we will be celebrating it in 236 lands worldwide.

No, no birthday

Yes, they did mention Trinity teachig, without using the word Trinity. Jesus tells his apostles to baptize "in the name [notice, singular, not plural] of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" (Matt. 28:19). This is a proof-text: three distinct Persons united in the one divine name. In 2 Corinthians 13:14, Paul writes, "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all." We see this same unity of divine Persons in 1 Corinthians 12:4–11, Ephesians 4:4–6, and 1 Peter 1:2–3. Around the year 181, Theophilus of Antioch expressly used the Greek word trias (trinitas in Latin, trinity in English): "the Trinity: God [the Father], his Word, and his Wisdom" [To Autolycus 2:15]. About twenty years later, Tertullian used the Latin trinitas: "The Unity is distributed in a Trinity. Placed in order, the three are Father, Son, and Spirit" [Against Praxes 2:4].


Yes, Jesus taught us to pray the Our Father. His disciples came to Him one day and "said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray" (Luke 11:1).

Almost every single christian religion acknowledges that Dec 25th is not necc Jesus' official birthday. Religion and traditions combined over the years to give us that date as a day we celebrate his birth but not necc as his actual bday.

The trinity was created from a council of men that wanted to put this divisive issue to rest once and for all. They all met and voted on which way it should be.

How can people answer these first 2 questions biblicaly when they arent in the Bible?

to facelessangel: Jesus isnt a myth...you can find "plenty" of evidence that there was a man Jesus and he walked the earth just like in the Bible......theres no question about that, but whether you belive he was God or not is up to you.

Jesus was born sometime in the Spring, probably around April. December 25th was a pagan holiday and Constantine used the day to celebrate Jesus Christ birth.
