The Bible offers few clues on the birth of Jesus Christ. Celebrations of Jesus’ Nativity are not mentioned in the Gospels or Acts; the date is not given, not even the time of year. The Biblical reference to shepherds tending their flocks at night when they hear the news of Jesus’ birth ( Luke 2 : 8 ) might suggest the spring lambing season; in the cold month of December, on the other hand, sheep might well have been pen.
This stands in sharp contrast to the very early traditions surrounding Jesus’ last days. Each of the Four Gospels provides detailed information about the time of Jesus’ death. According to John, Jesus is crucified just as the Passover lambs are being sacrificed. This would have occurred on the 14th of the Hebrew month of Nisan, just before the Jewish holiday began at sundown (considered the beginning of the 15th day because in the Hebrew calendar, days begin at sundown). In Matthew, Mark and Luke, however, the Last Supper is held after sundown, on the beginning of the 15th. Jesus is crucified the next morning—still, the 15th.
There is another way to account for the origins of Christmas on December 25: Strange as it may seem, the key to dating Jesus’ birth may lie in the dating of Jesus’ death at Passover.
Around 200 C.E. Tertullian of Carthage reported the calculation that the 14th of Nisan (the day of the crucifixion according to the Gospel of John) in the year Jesus died was equivalent to March 25 in the Roman (solar) calendar.9 March 25 is, of course, nine months before December 25; it was later recognized as the Feast of the Annunciation—the commemoration of Jesus’ conception. Thus, Jesus was believed to have been conceived and crucified on the same day of the year. Exactly nine months later, Jesus was born, on December 25.
This is how New year arose;
since you agreed with me that your prophet Muhammad was not circumcised no how you will know that a Circumcision is after EIGHT DAYS.. From December 25th to January 1st is how many days??
Luke 2:21
And when eight days were completed for the circumcision of the Child, His name was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before He was conceived in the womb.
Someone that died and resurrected as he said and as prophecied is not divine, he was born of a virgin's womb still not divine, he is alive as their holy book says but according to him he is not divine, etc.. Some people thiking faulty needs urgent attention
MaxInDHouse: My Bible is just one out of thousand versions translated from the original language used by the inspired writers so what my copy says does not solve this rather it's what was written in the original Greek text:
So suit yourself!
I've noticed your attitude towards answering of questions here, you are fond of lackadaisical attempt in answering major questions been thrown to you
Is like you believe more in Wikipedia than your own book, I said you should quote from your own religious book where Jesus Christ was crucified on a stake, I don't see any reason why this should be difficult for you to do justice to
If you can't prove yourself to be right with your own religious book, then you should lower your head and cover your face with shame
MaxInDHouse: Obviously you people don't have the love of truth at heart so there's no need arguing with you people. Stratos (Greek) is the same as Crux (Latin) and upright Stake (English) that's the instrument used to kill the real Jesus of Nazareth not Cross!
Quote where your own Bible says Jesus Christ was crucified on a stake?
So stake is what you have in your own Bible right? Indeed your religion is occultist and satanic
MaxInDHouse: Please browse to see the IMAGES of Latin Crux
It was after the pagan tradition of worshiping the CROSS was imposed on people that the meaning was changed from STAKE to CROSS but the real instrument was a STAKE in which the criminal is pinned to the stake with two NAIL not three!
MaxInDHouse: This is where you're getting it all wrong!
Everything God created is GOOD! Genesis 1:31
Possession is when some makes something his or her own so when did i tell you that any of the things God created has now become the property of demons?
This is the same way those pastors of yours told you that gold and silver has been possesed by demons so your women shouldn't use jewelries anymore. Whereas God only condemned making a god out of the things He created God never condemned any of His works. Psalms 115:4
The Bible book says HERBS are for my use as in MY OWN USE so whatever i make out of it has nothing to do with demons since i am USING what God made FOR MY USE!
Even your herbalists that are using herbs for ritual has nothing to do with demons and evil spirits
See dunce that is of opinion that the phones (technology) we are using is demon possessed
Even reading the Bible verse I read you posted here, did you read where God says the herb he created is for your traditional herbalist to use it cure your diseases?
MaxInDHouse: Chai, see mumu churchgoer! If i keep my herbal remedies and ready to defend it to any level what makes you think i can let go of other things that's useful for me? Ọmọ it's you who feels what God created is evil that needs a brain reset!
I know you're getting upset already, just be calm dunce
What you will do to help your ignoramus life after your leaders in your satanic Jehovah witnesses has brainwashed you is that anything in your possession that has to do with technology throw them inside lagoon because they are demons possessed as you said
Your ways of thinking need urgent and quick intervention
MaxInDHouse: FOOL! I acknowledged that even if it's from the knowledge of DEMONS it doesn't belong to them. To illustrate: If your own father possess a farm and took you to a far distant land for another business then thieves came and stole the produce of your father's farm only to sell it back to you. Then the thieves were caught and taken to a court of law. Who should press charges against the thieves? A stranger or you the son of the owner?
Ọmọ even though you ate out of what those thieves stole nobody can charge you for taking back what rightfully belongs to you!
Demons are aliens on this planet, they had no business here, this is our abode which God gave to our father Adam, so if Adam died due to his rebellion and demons began making use of what rightfully belongs to our father in what way are we criminals when we make use of what rightfully belongs to us?
The only way we can become guilty is when we bow down (worship) the thief to get what rightfully belongs to us. Ọmọ LEARN nah me get the HERBS and ROOTS no be demon property!
Treatment has nothing to do with the source of knowledge where the doctor gets the idea God created everything whether HERBS or ROOTS in the beginning and it was all GOOD! Genesis 1:31
So go and tell your pastors that you've learned something NEW from Jehovah's Witnesses!
It is your traditional herbalist that has nothing to do with the demons and spiritual realms while the phone, home appliances, etc you're enjoying today has something to do with the demons right?
Tell your dumbest leaders in your Jehovah witnesses to throw into the lagoon the cars and anything made from technology they are enjoying today including the phone in your hand. Your thinking need urgent attention
MaxInDHouse: Do you know the demons consulted before the white men came about blood transfusion?
Do you know the demons consulted when cars, aeroplanes, electricity and many others were gotten?
Ọmọ no one cares all you need is PAY FOR THE SERVICE RENDERED you have no business with the demons since you never consulted them for power or knowledge to heal or invent anything but once you have to speak to them that's when you need to run.
Discoveries were slow before the year 1914 do you know why? Because Satan and his demons still enjoy moving to and fro the heavens but after Jesus ousted them from heaven they all rushed to the earth and that's how technology speed up just to cause distractions here and there.
God's people can make use of all their discoveries after all our God is the maker of all the ingredients used in making automobile, electricity, telephone, computer, aeroplane and many others. All we mustn't do is talk to or worship their demons because our God owns everything!
Even the cloth you are wearing over there, the white men that made it have to consulted the demons before been made, see your shallow thinking
Now that you accepted to the fact that your traditional herbalist consulted the demons before getting you treated, I will advice you stop referring to yourself as Christ's like
I'm very sure your parent attends that church too, the church you attended from the childhood till now has not been telling you the truth and you stay there wallowing in your ignorant, you don't think something must be done in your life spiritually and physically
cornelboy: God gave me life through my parents not church. Church didn't bring me up neither.
Even you don't care if your traditionalist herbalist consult the devil for spiritual power in spiritual realm in getting you treated, once it is treatment you are good to go
MaxInDHouse: TRADITIONAL HERBALISTS, YES! He is a professional in herbal remedies just as doctors and nurses are professionals in other forms of treatment. Jesus never condemned treatment!
I'm very sure you're in your 20s, the church that raised you up has NO truth but the religion that turns Bible upside down is the one that has the truth. Don't you think your life need to be seriously examined?
