"Jesus" was born sometime in the 16th century...

"The letter J was first distinguished from 'I' by the Frenchman Pierre Ramus in the 16th century, but did not become common in Modern English until the 17th century, so that early 17th century works such as the first edition of the King James Version of the Bible (1611) continued to print the name with an I."

Isn't December 25th his birthday and not July 27th

Not Yahshua's...and Jesus (the name) didn't exist until the 16th century.

Yeshua was a common alternative form of the name Yehoshuah or in the English Joshua. In Greek the spelling is Iesous. In Latin the spelling is Iesus. In English the spelling is Jesus. The name "Jesus" is fully accurate for any English translation of the Greek name.

 

[ewq1938]

Was Jesus actually born in September?

"the theory that Jesus was born in September depends on the timing of John the Baptist’s birth. These biblical facts lay the groundwork: John’s father, a priest named Zechariah, was taking his turn to serve in the temple when the angel Gabriel appeared to him and announced that Elizabeth, Zechariah’s wife, would conceive a son (Luke 1:8–13). After Zechariah returned home, his wife conceived, just as the angel had said (Luke 1:23–24). Gabriel then visited Mary to announce the miraculous conception of Jesus, and this visit came in the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy (Luke 1:26, 36). Another important detail: Zechariah “belonged to the priestly division of Abijah” (Luke 1:5).

Using the above information, the calculations are made thus: the priests in the Abijah division served from June 13—19. Assuming that Elizabeth conceived shortly after Gabriel’s announcement to Zechariah, her sixth month—the month that Gabriel visits Mary—would be December or January. Assuming that Mary conceives shortly after Gabriel’s announcement to her, Jesus would have been born nine months later, i.e., August or September."

I'll add astrologer (!) Julius' July theory to the September theory, the April theory, and the December theory, all of which make apparently persuasive arguments.

Hebrews didn't really do birthdays...they just honored the person's death..."in remembrance of me"...this is what He told us.

Isn't December 25th his birthday and not July 27th

No, December 25th was actually a pagan holiday Christians stole from Satan. Have you ever heard of the abomination of desolation? That was on December 25, 168 BC. (There were other abomination of desolation, like 70 AD which the Jews revolted against Rome, from 66 AD to 73 AD (7 years!/one prophetic week)

One of the emperors after Constantine, I believe the second one, made paganism illegal, and everyone had to be a Christian as the state religion. To make the transition easier for the people, their festivals and holidays were Christianized. Also their pagan temples of the gods and goddesses, were turned into church buildings (the first churches) and the pagan priests were turned into Catholic priests. Easter had been a celebration for Tammuz.

Even so, it is not a sin to honor Christ on these dates. In doing so, no one even remembers the original reasons for the holidays.

Even so, we used a pagan birthday to celebrate Christ's death.

His name actually means something...as most names do, as you will find if you do some digging...

You use a pagan b-day to celebrate His death?

 

[Tone]

This is why you are technically a Roman Catholic...

Yes we did.

Yes we did.

Never heard of it...

 

[Rescued One]

Oh, come on! Mormons told me it was April 6!

 

[Lost4words]

I dont think Jesus is going to be upset if we celebrate His birthday on a date which may not be accurate.

It was approx 2,000 years ago!

Celebrating His birth is the most important thing even if the date cannot be 100% verified.
