The Birth Year of Jesus

[gavelloud]

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.

[RabbiKnife]

Jesus was born in the fullness of time.

The date is irrelevant.

[RabbiKnife]

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.

[Athanasius]

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

If the Jews had realized

Once I've used my fingers and toes I'm done counting.

And your neighbors' toes!

Greetings, my friend!

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.

[Fenris]

textual criticism.

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

[Athanasius]

Depends how it's approached.

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

[RabbiKnife]

Not sure it matters at all

[Athanasius]

Not sure it matters at all

We can be certain it doesn't.
