Dont be coy. Educate us.
Well THIS was interesting. Jesus' birthday is actually Sept 11, 3 BC? Interesting theory backed by prophecy/astronomical/astrological data.
I'm not buying in 100%, but it is rather interesting.
I've also heard this as well. And Sept of the year of his birth is closer to the spring that year, so thats not wrong. Possibly a miscalculation? (the spring theory)I see it that if God wanted us to know the day in would easily be in the Bible for us to know. It wasn’t probably because He knew people would end up worshipping a day instead. I had always heard it was most likely in the spring time closer to his time of death.
Or the authors and audience of the day just didn't care about exact dates. It's not like they had wall calendars.I see it that if God wanted us to know the day in would easily be in the Bible for us to know.

True.Or the authors and audience of the day just didn't care about exact dates. It's not like they had wall calendars.
The desire for exactness in details skews more modern.
If God can create the heavens and the earth in 6 days, Is he constrained by normal 9 month gestation?Luke 1:26
If Mary conceived in the 6th month of the Hebrew calendar. Jesus wasn't born in September.
I believe the 6th month is a reference to Elizabeth's pregnancy not the Jewish calendarLuke 1:26
If Mary conceived in the 6th month of the Hebrew calendar. Jesus wasn't born in September.
Hold your horses. I just read several versions of that scripture.Luke 1:26

The Birth of Jesus Foretold
26 In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth...
After reading that over again I see that it could be talking about Elizabeth's pregnancy.Hold your horses. I just read several versions of that scripture.
Its not the 6th month of the CALENDAR, but instead the 6th (of 9) month of Mary's PREGNANCY. Not the Jewish calendar.
So they arent referring to what we would say is June, but 3 months shy of Jesus' birth. Meaning it could be ANY month.

They did/do not use the Roman calendar. It was generally lunar based. Months were calculated differently back then. The first month of their calendar was Nissan, which occurs during common March/April.Hold your horses. I just read several versions of that scripture.

This is just a theory so don't stone me.They did/do not use the Roman calendar. It was generally lunar based. Months were calculated differently back then. The first month of their calendar was Nissan, which occurs during common March/April.

Mary conceived 3 months shy of John's Birth.
This is just a theory so don't stone me.
For passover the Jews were instructed to set aside a lamb without blemish on 10 Nissan, and kill it on 14 Nissan.
Christ was the perfect lamb without blemish. I "think" He was born on 2 Nissan, and presented in the temple on 10 Nissan.
33 years later he was crucified on the day of preperation for the passover, which is 13 Nissan.
Now for the pop quiz. What kind of car did the apostles drive?
