CHRISTMAS
Christmas isn't Jesus's birthdate; it was the birthday of the sun god. Scripture doesn't mention Jesus's birthdate or any christians celebrating His Birthday. The only birthday mentioned besides Pharoah (Gen.40:20) is the heathen king Herod (Mark 6:21). "Christmas" means "mass of Christ"; the celebration coexisted in Rome before there was any in Jerusalem. The early Roman Church however did establish a pagan festival that (Jer.10) coexisted with Jesus's Birth and that was the birthday of the sun god. (Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th ed., article: "Christmas"). The Catholic sources admit that Christmas didn't co-exist with the earliest festivals. Jesus wasn't born Christmas; even scripture makes this evident. "On the night of Jesus's birth, the shepherd's were still keeping watch over their flocks." (Luke 2:8). The rainy season in Ancient Israel began after the Feast of Tabernacles which generally is early October. In November, it would be cool and wet; the flocks from the pasture had already been brought and kept in winter quarters by the shepherds. This tells us the shepherds were no longer in the fields at night. Another peice of evidence is overlooked is in Luke 1:35-36; it tells us John the Baptist was born to Mary's cousin Elizabeth six months before Jesus. And as we look further in verse 5-17, we see Zacharias an elderly priest burning incense on the altar and then an angel appearing to him and telling him that he and his wife would have a son to prepare Christ's Way. We know however when this announcement was made by the angel because of Zacharias was "of the course of Abijah" Please look at 1Chron.24:1-19; it tells us that King David divided these priests into 24 "courses" that served in the temple by rotation. The Course of Abijah would be the 8th of the 24 courses which usually would occur around the end of May. Pentecost came the week after the 8th course served and he had to serve all 24 courses during the three festival seasons. So Zacharias came home approximately after the first week of June; in which John the Baptist was conceived around mid-June and 9 months later would be his birth. John Baptist's birth came around mid-March while Jesus's was around mid-September. Also notice every year people claim 3 wise men seen Jesus in a stable; is this really true? The Bible nowhere states "3 wise men" or "that the wise men visited Jesus in a stable". Read for yourself: (Matt.2:11); these Magi came from the east beyond the Euphrates River which in the 1st century was called the Parthian Empire (the eastern border of the Roman Empire). Several weeks after Jesus's birth, the Magi arrived in Jerusalem, the king's palace searching for Jesus. The "star" in the east led them to take their trip to Judea. After hearing about the timing of the "star's appearance" from the Magi; King Herod ordered the slaughter of all children two years and younger(Matt.2:16). When Jesus was 40 days old: His parents presented him in the temple (Luke 2:22)(Lev.12:2-4). After the Magi came, the family fled to Egypt. {Jesus six weeks old.}

They stole the B-day for the sacred jebus from older religions. Which is not shocking considering they stole pretty much every aspect of his life from older cults too. There were religious beings, who were around centuries before the myth of jebus came onto the scene. Who all did pretty much exactly the things jesus was said to have done, miracles, raising the dead, water to wine, 12 disciples, born of virgins, rose from the dead, cured people, died for humanities sins and swore to come back to save the righteous at the end of times. etc. Jesus is a bunch of older myths the roman catholics ground up. Baked at 350o and dished out to the world. Bible says when the holy jebus was spawned the shepherds were in the fields tending their flocks. They didnt do that in Dec where jebus popped out. So our dearly beloved sacrificial lamb most certainly wasnt born in Dec. That's the winter solstice a holy day associated with pagan sun gods. Xians go to church on SUNday ... a day the romans dedicated to pagan sun gods. Dec 25th as mentioned is also the birthdate of several roman deities that predate xianity by a long shot. The guy who wrote most the books of the new testament ... Paul. Just happened to have spent quite a bit of time in the east where he studied the theology there and compiled the writings of the xian new testament. Such as mithra, a persian god, who's life story just coincidentally bears a striking resemblance to the life story of jesus. Seems jesus is as much a bunch of ancient mystical fairytale nonsense ... as rest of the junk in the xian bible. Paul apparently often wrote about jesus as a metaphor ... not as an actual person. I dont think there ever was a jesus ... outside of Pauls imagination. And all the embellishments the roman catholics added to the tale along the way to build up the myth. Jesus ... the legend ... the man ... the myth !!! Buy your tickets now ! :D

Ryan--
Good question , but it would be easier to say what day he was not born on and one of those days would be December 25. Christmas is actually a pagan holiday taken advantage of by corporations. What difference does it make what day he was born the most important fact id that he was born and even more important than that is that he died for our sins. Accept that fact and I will see you in Heaven.

No one knows the day. Only the approximate time season.
They say Dec. 25, but that is not true.
Dec is the winter solstice and the suns birthday, not jesus's.
It is Yuletide, not christmas as they would have you believe.
