When was Jesus born? Share any historical or archaeological evidence to support your answer.?

Answer 1

We know that he was born in the summer and it was not exactly on the year 0.

Answer 2

April 6th, 4 AD.

Shepherds were in the fields, so it was lambing time, around March or April.

Although Luke, in his gospel, says that Mary and Joseph travelled to Bethlehem "to be taxed", or for a census in some translations, there is no evidence of a Roman census being taken anywhere around that time. Probably Luke, as a gentile, was at a loss to explain the mass exodus of Jews to their ancestral homes. A far more likely explaination is that it was Passover - around late March or early April.

Herod was extremely distraught at the news that a "new king" had been born, largely because his own throne was not secure. He was in the final stages of terminal illness, and wanted his son become king after him. A new king - even a baby - rising up at this time would cause problems for him, which is why he reacted so violently. The gospel records that Mary and Joseph fled to Egypt with Jesus in order to escape the massacre, but not that they set up home there. Probably they only had to wait a matter of weeks before Herod died and it was safe to return to Nazareth. Herod's death is well documented, including the fact that there was an eclipse just beforehand, enabling scholars to place the date.

Finally, a prophet of God has apparently (his meaning was not clear) stated that Jesus was born on 6th April. OK, so not historical or archaeological, but evidence nonetheless.

Answer 3

If there was a Jesus, he was born in the Spring because he draws the sign of the fish in the sand (PISCES). He also says he is the first and the last, which is just like the 12th house (pisces).

Revelation 22:13
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

Alpha and Omega? That phrase wasn't added to the scripture until the King James version of the bible was written.
Proof?
Revelation 1: 11 in the King James Version says, “I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last.” This verse clearly proves an undisputed reference to Jesus as the “Alpha and Omega”. However, this additional occurrence of this phrase does not receive support from some of the oldest Greek manuscripts, including the Alexandrine, Sinaitic, and Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus. It is, therefore, omitted in many modern translations. Scholar Robert Young stated that the “oldest MSS. omit” it. [1]

Though many commentators and dictionaries apply this title both to God and to Christ such need not be the case. [2] Barnes’ Notes on the New Testament (1974) observes: "It cannot be absolutely certain that the writer meant to refer to the Lord Jesus specifically here . . . There is no real incongruity in supposing, also, that the writer here meant to refer to God as such." However, most Christian denominations teach that it does apply to Jesus and God.








The12th house rules over Mysticism, the occult, psychic matters. Places of seclusion such as hospitals, prisons and institutions. Retreat and reflection and self-sacrifice. Childhood problems.
There is substantial evidence that Jesus was a myth. He shares his birthday with many Gods and saviours. Studying history, it sounds as if he is a story that has been told a different way.
The Romans held a festival on December 25 called Dies Natalis Solis Invicti, "the birthday of the unconquered sun." The use of the title Sol Invictus allowed several solar deities to be worshipped collectively, including Elah-Gabal, a Syrian sun god; Sol, the patron god of Emperor Aurelian (AD 270-274); and Mithras, a soldiers' god of Persian origin.[1] Emperor Elagabalus (218-222) introduced the festival, and it reached the height of its popularity under Aurelian, who promoted it as an empire-wide holiday.[2]

Jesus also relates to Poseidon.
The name seems to rather transparently stem from Greek pósis "lord, husband" and Indo-European *don "flowing water". Jesus was a fisherman. This also relates to Poseidon's trident - or three pronged spear.

The French word's origin is from Latin tridens or tridentis, from tri "three" and dentes "teeth." It was used by both spear-fishermen and military forces. As a hunting tool, it was used for its ability to skewer multiple fish at a time.

Remember when he calmed the sea and walked on water?

Sailors prayed to Poseidon for a safe voyage, sometimes drowning horses as a sacrifice. In his benign aspect, Poseidon was seen as creating new islands and offering calm seas.

Jonah 1:11
The sea was getting rougher and rougher. So they asked him, "What should we do to you to make the sea calm down for us?"



Poseidon was also the great "earth shaker", or master of earthquakes. So was Jesus.

Isaiah 29:6
the LORD Almighty will come with thunder and earthquake and great noise, with windstorm and tempest and flames of a devouring fire.
Matthew 27:54
When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, "Surely he was the Son of God!"

Answer 4

He was probably born between 6 and 4 BC, although there is some debate as the events around that time in the Bible do not easily line up with historical events as we know them. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_Jesus#birth) In the fourth century, the church decided to celebrate Jesus's brithday on dec 25 fully acknowledging they had no idea what the actual date was (and, hense, neede to choose a ceremonial day). The mention of shepards being out with their flocks at the time of his birth suggests an early spring birth, when the ewes are giving birth and the shepards stay with them to assist them.

Answer 5

Who knows? Maybe spring. I don't think he was born on December 25. December 25 corresponds with the following:

Horus of Egypt · Horus was born of the virgin Isis-Meri on December 25th. He was "the Fisher". He is associated with the Lamb, Lion and Fish "Ichthys".
·
Mithra, Sungod of Persia - Mithra was born of a virgin on December 25th. Mithra is identified with both the Lion and the Lamb.

Krishna of India
Krishna was born of a Virgin named Devaki.

The gospels of Matthew and Luke show that he was born of a virgin and his lineage can be traced to the House of David through Joseph. It seems odd to me that we don't know when Jesus was born. Maybe someday archaeological finds can solve this for us.

Answer 6

no one knows the exact date, and God didn't want anyone to know either, hence no historical records are found. GOd doesn't want people to start going pagan by celebrating Jesus's birthday with giant Jesus ballon heads floating around and confetti and etc.

even me as a Christian, i really like Christmas but there MIGHT be a possibility that it's a pagan thing...

Answer 7

According to extra-Biblical sources regarding the census that was taken by the Roman Empire it puts Christ's birth approximately in Feb or March of about 4 AD.

Answer 8

From what I know March 5 AD
