the fact that we celebrate his birth on the 25th of Dec. does not mean that we are claiming that he was actually born on the said day, are you happy now? ok have a bless day.

I DONT THINK WE HAVE TO BE MEAN ON THE POSTER. HE WAS POLITELY ASKING A QUESTION.

JESUS CHRIST DEFINATELY WAS NOT BORN ON DEC 25TH. ITS JUST A CEREMONIAL DATE FIXED BY THE ROMAN CATHOLICS. JESUS CHRIST WAS ACTUALLY BORN ON AUGUST 1ST. MANY PEOPLE WILL IMMEDIATELY DISAGREE WITH THIS BUT ITS TRUE.

IF I HAVE TO LAY DOWN THE PROVES, IT'LL TAKE ABOUT A SMALL BOOKLET. I'VE TAKEN TIME TO STUDY THE TIMELINE OF HISTORY FROM THE BIBLE OVER THE YEARS AND WE FIND INTERESTING AND PRECISE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS.

It is a historical fact that Jesus was not born on 25th december but that day was just set aside in the fourth century to celebrate the birth of our Lord.

It is a historical fact that Jesus was  not born on 25th december but that day was just set aside in the fourth century to celebrate the birth of our Lord.

25th of December had been celebrated for centuries before Christ in many European and eastern societies to commemorate the birth of the sun god. it was the day the sun is said to be reborn because the winter solstice is on December 24, that is when the sun stops dying (day stops getting shorter), and start its rebirth. So celebration starts on eve of 24th till the night of 25th, with wild jubilation, involving drinking, dancing and general merry making,

When Rome adopted Christianity, it incorporated most of its former rituals and celebrations into the new religion. which includes the worship and veneration of Venus and son Eros, as Infant Jesus and Mary, the adoption of patron saints from their past worship of numerous personal gods, and a host of others.

As the celebration of Christmas, spread through Norther Europe it acquired many other cultural practices, like Santa from the Nordic culture and Holly and mistletoe trees from England(not sure here). But the practice is still primary drinking, dancing and merrymaking as originally practiced by the Pagan Romans.

Ok, thanks for the response, But if i may also ask why did they actually put the date on the exact date of the pagan holiday?,

Secondly why was it difficult to know the exact date he was born?,

Re: Jesus Christ: Born Dec 25th: Wasnt True? by mavenbox: 1:43am On Dec 05, 2009
@Topic: Jesus may not have been born on December 25th. Personally, I give God thanks for the birth of Christ each and every day.

Let me give you an illustration: when we celebrate the "dead soldier" on the Armed Forces Remembrance Day a.k.a Veterans day http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remembrance_Day on November 11th, and old Mrs Adamson remembers her father that died bravely defending his country during World War I, does that mean the man died on November 11th? In his family, each and every day they remember him, but ON THAT PARTICULAR DAY, the programme of events have been set aside to honour him

@wirinet: I have read a lot about Easter and Christmas practices and pagan similitudes and origins thanks to the early Roman Catholic Church, but does it nullify the fact that Christ came? I guess if I was a historian in Christ's day, I may have taken extra effort to document the exact day but since I was not; I am content with the fact that he came. The date is rather trivial, sorry.
Re: Jesus Christ: Born Dec 25th: Wasnt True? by Abuzola11(m): 1:49am On Dec 05, 2009
Story, Dec 25 is mark for an idolatory occassion by the roman
Re: Jesus Christ: Born Dec 25th: Wasnt True? by mavenbox: 2:01am On Dec 05, 2009
@Abuzola- Did you know that as you were busy having Eid-el-whatever it was some days ago, there were Ifa priests worshipping somewhere in Ogun state, Nigeria? So does that mean you were worshipping the same god? Just maybe, undecided undecided

When will you guys get it? You keep looking at the moon searching for dates, but dates are rather trivial, after all, time will soon cease to exist. It was once not in existence anyway.
