Was Jesus Christ Born On Christmas Day?

Bible Account 

In those days there were appointed 24 Jewish priests, the sons of Aaron, to serve in the temple in a year. Everyone officiated according to the order of his course or turn - two every month. 
The first priest served from the beginning of the first month called Nisan or Abib and retired at the middle of the month; and the second took over from the middle to the end of the month.
The priest Abijah served in the eighth course according to I Chronicles 24: 1-10. The eighth course started from the middle to the end of the fourth month known as Tammuz, which, according to the Jewish Calendar, corresponds with the latter part of our June to early July. (Vide The Oxford Encyclopedic Concordance, page 197, and The Universal Bible Dictionary by Buckland & Williams, page 475.)

Zacharias, the father of John the Baptist, was a successor of Abijah. It was when he was officiating in the temple in the order of his turn - "the course of Abijah" - that an angel of God appeared to him saying that his wife, Elizabeth, would bear him a son to be named John. (Luke 1: 5-13) 
After the completion of Zacharias' period of duty in early July (Tammuz), his wife became pregnant, and she hid herself for five months. - Luke 1: 23, 24.

In the sixth month of Elizabeth's conception - Chisleu, which is our December - the angel Gabriel was sent by God to the virgin Mary and he announced to her that she would conceive and bear a son to be called JESUS. The angel added: "And behold, thy cousin, Elizabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren. For with God nothing shall be impossible." - Luke 1: 26-31, 36, 37. 
Consequent upon the annunciation Mary, no doubt, was in high spirits. With haste she went straight to a city in the uplands of Judah to meet Elizabeth. 
She stayed with her cousin about three months (i.e. from January to March) and then returned home. (Luke 1:39-40,56) 
Something dramatic occurred when Mary visited Elizabeth. As soon as she entered Zacharias' house and greeted Elizabeth, the babe (John) stirred in her womb. The words of Elizabeth to Mary at that instance, which were motivated by the Holy Spirit, show clearly that Mary herself was already pregnant.

Not only did Elizabeth bless the fruit of her womb but she went on to address her outright as "the mother of my Lord". - Luke 1:41-44. 
According to medical authorities the span of foetal life under normal conditions is 280 days, which is nine months; any time in the tenth month the child, by God's grace, can be born. This was the case with John the Baptist. 
The angel appeared to Mary in the sixth month of Elizabeth's conception and Mary went to her and stayed three months: six plus three equal nine. It was then "Elizabeth's full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son" - obviously, in the tenth month, April.- Luke 1: 36, 56-57.

Having been equipped with this knowledge, let us now count Mary's conception from that January as was manifest in Elizabeth's declaration, we will arrive at September as the ninth month; then in the tenth month OCTOBER, Jesus Christ was born. But on which day in October his birth took place no one can tell because there is no record. 
We of the GKS say only what we can prove. With regard to the year of Christ's birth, historians disagree with one another. Some hold to B.C. 2 or B.C.4, and others suggest B.C. 6. We are no historians, and so we do not wish to be entangled in their disagreements.

Physical Facts 

The physical features of Palestine in regard to the climate lend support to the view that Christ was not born in December. According to the Gospels story, there were shepherds attending their flocks in the open fields by night when Christ was born. 
This could not have been possible in December, because all accredited authorities agree that December, which corresponds with the Jewish ninth month, Chisleu, (Zechariah 7:1) was usually a time of winter in Palestine when the people could not stay outside in the night owing to the intense cold.
The Oxford Encyclopedic Concordance states that there was "snow on the mountains". 
But October is the Jewish seventh month called Tisri or Ethanim. (I Kings 8: 2) 
It was a time of normal weather that permitted of outdoor or outside activities. Again, the fact that the churches of Christendom observe the death of Jesus Christ ("Good Friday" in April confirms that his birth could not have taken place in December. 
Of a truth, he was killed in April, which is Nisan or Abib, the first month of the Jewish year, when the Feast of Passover or Unleavened Bread was celebrated.

We all agree that Jesus Christ lived for 33 1/2 years. Now let us admit that he was born in December, as the churches teach, it will mean, therefore, that his 33rd birthday anniversary fell on December, and six months later, which was June, he died. If it was so, why then are the churches celebrating his death in April and not in June? The plain truth is that he was born in October. His 33rd birthday then fell on October, and six, months later, that is, in April, he was slain.

Historical Facts 

There is no authentic history in existence that gives support to the teaching that Jesus Christ was born in December. 
We challenge anyone who may argue this to cite a SINGLE authority to the contrary to prove us wrong.There was no such festival as Christmas until the fourth century, and it was the Romish Church in its characteristic tendency of "meeting Paganism half-way", that just fixed on December 25 as Christ's birthday.
Excerpts from the book, JESUS' BIRTH THE UNTOLD STORY published on 25/12/2005 on www.angelfire.com states: "Each December, articles inevitably appear in newspapers and magazines pointing out the ancient origins of today's Christmas customs. All authorities agree that the customs surrounding Christmas, the Christmas tree, mistletoe, holly wreaths, yule logs, stockings on the hearth, exchanging gifts and so on, were practiced in connection with pagan religious celebrations centuries before the birth of Jesus. None are of Christian origin! Anciently, December 25 was the date of the pagan roman Brumalia, the final day of the popular week-long Saturnalia celebration, celebrated in honour of the god Saturn. It was the day of the "invincible sun", a winter solstice festival. "Christmas" was not among the earliest festivals of the Church. It was not until the mid-fourth century that Pope Julius 1 decreed December 25 to be Christmas ("Christ-Mass" Day. He sought to overshadow the popular Brumalia by imparting "Christian" connotations to the day."

We cannot do without making reference to the evidence of the well-known ecclesiastical historian, Alexander Hislop. In his distinguished work, The Two Babylons, he wrote: "There is not a word in the Scriptures about the precise day of His (Christ's) birth.... What is recorded there, implies that at what time so ever His birth took place, it could not have been on the 25th of December... The cold of the night, from December to February, is very piercing, and it was not the custom for the shepherds of Judea to watch their flocks in the open fields later than about the end of October. It is in the last degree incredible, then, that the birth of Christ could have taken place at the end of December." (Pages 91-92, emphasis ours)

The vanity of Christmas has been exposed enough. History condemns it. The Holy Bible, which is the law book and guide for all true Christians, does not justify it. We shall be failing in our duties if we close our eyes to these errors. 
Just as the Lord’s Witnesses in their book The True Bible Code at page 688 stated: "The issue is not a matter of indifference. Since Christmas was not instituted by God. It should not be approved or tolerated in the official practices of the Church. Ministers and Church officers are not being true to their ordination vows, if they encourage or tolerate Christmas observance in their congregations".

What is more, St. Paul declared: "It is GOD Himself, in His mercy, who has given us this wonderful work (of telling His Good News to others), and so we never give up. We do not try to trick people into believing – we are not interested in fooling anyone. We never try to get anyone to believe that the Bible teaches what it doesn’t. All such shameful methods we forego. We stand in the presence of God as we speak and so we tell the truth, as all who know us will agree." (2 Corinthians 4: 1,2 [Living Bible]) 
Jesus Christ says, "He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
