Jesus is the alpha and the omega...He has no beginning or end. His earthly birthday is of no importance. Only humans are concerned with birthdays.
Jesus said to remember His death because it was the most important event in history. Sadly, the organized church has substituted Easter and celebrates His resurrection instead of His death.
The Christmas celebration is a man-made holiday and has no connection to the birth of Jesus. The only 'good' thing about Christmas is at least once a year the world acknowledges that they have a Savior.

The Torah is the word of G-d, brought down for Moses to write. the rest of the bible, the Christians bible, is up for speculation as we don't know who wrote what. I'm sure when man started writing those passages of the bible with Jesus' birth, they had no idea when it was either. But we just assume it's the 25th of December, because that's what we've been told. But it's not very true at all.

Dates are things that can change. At one point eleven days were removed from the calendar, so it has been all mixed up over time. The main thing is to set aside a day to remember the Greatest Gift, the gift God gave us-- His Son Jesus.
Personally, I remember it every day, and thank God for that gift.

Actually there is a new DVD out this Christmas called 'The Star of Bethlehem'. And it is about the newest information on the 'Star'.
So? I am purchasing this at my local 'Christian Supply' for $12.95 soon. Because I asked God this in prayer & think the answer is in this DVD.
The answer is found in the book of 'Matthew'. It is a mystery that is being found out today.
Also the date of Jesus going on the cross is in the DVD.

Ecclesiastes 7:1 A name is better than good oil, and the day of death than the day of one’s being born.
BTW: Jesus was NOT born December 25th..its a date humans chose.

The people who used the Bible first didn't/still don't believe that Jesus was/is God's son.

I really don't know how or if they kept a yearly count before Jesus...Jesus birth was year 1 AD...everything else was BC, so I guess it started with HIM or LORD

I guess their are certain things that man would like to know that God didn't see fit to put in the Bible.

No, he didn't forget it. The day of Christ's birth is unimportant. It is his DEATH that is worth remembering.
