Title: The Birth Year of Jesus
Post by: gavelloud on June 13, 2023, 10:45:09 AM
The Birth date of Jesus is a highly controversial subject. I've studied it a lot have some very overlooked observations and see the errors of many other scholars and researchers.

Jesus was born in the fullness of time.

The date is irrelevant.

The day of visitation has to do with the count from Daniel's prophesy.


If the Jews had realized it, it would have only affected each personally; it wasn't going to change the course of history or the appointed crucifixion of Jesus as the sacrifice for our sin.

So knowing the day of Jesus birth changes nothing; ergo, is of little if any importance.

This is a forum, not a pulpit. Keep it cool.

And your neighbors' toes!

Would you call this a theological topic? I would have thought that it would be under some other academic heading e.g. history, archaeology or possibly textual criticism.

textual criticism.
I'm not a Christian and my opinion means nothing on the topic, but I'd go with textual criticism.

Depends how it's approached.

When, then, is the birth date / year of Jesus?

Not sure it matters at all

We can be certain it doesn't.
