I have studied this. I know it better. I am a slave of God.

How can someone doubt after he has read my reasons?

Have I not explained it enough? Why do you still believe Jesus was born in December or Tishri if I have clearly shown to you that he was born in Nisan 1?

I know it better than you, because I studied it myself. I have read the Bible completely. I am just a slave of God.

You "know it better"? Or, you are good at boasting in your own knowledge?

I think the latter.

Your first three arguments are based upon personal presumptions alone. Not biblical facts, not biblical prophecies, not historical records. I have read scores of such presumptive claims about the time of the birth of Jesus. Without an actual historical account to back up such presumptions, none can be reliably believed.

And there is such an historical record of the time of His birth, but no one will accept it.

I find it more likely that John the baptizer was more likely born in the month of Nisan.  Jesus would of been born 6 months later.Possibly during the festival of Tabernacles . if it really mattered there would be finite information in the bible . now if you want to  get right down to it his death was far more important

that Tiberius 15th year of his reign was 26 CE (his co-princeps began in 12 CE)
-that Herod died 4 BCE

Tiberius rein started in 14 CE which would put his 15th year in 29CE not 26.  Which would put his birth in 2 or3BC.   I am thinking 3 BC

Herod's death was figured by noting an eclipse, and the eclipse that happened in 4BC was pretty much a nothingburger in Israel.   Much more notable eclipses happened in both 2BC and 1BC, so many historians today think more likely he died in 2 BC.   I also agree and think Jesus was born in 3BC.

As for his birthday, I personally think it was on September 11th, but that takes a book to say why.

Fun to read about, but not important enough to expect everyone to agree with everything.  Though I do think what most do on Christmas as not good.  Eater eggs and bunnies is truly blasphemous.  But that's between people and God.

I agree.

That date corresponds with Tishri 1, which, in 3 BC, was Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year.

Tradition says that Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were all born on that day.

It makes sense that the Jewish Messiah would be born on that specific day, as well.

Christmas is not on December 25. Christmas is on Nisan 1.

New Year is not on January 1. New Year is on Nisan 1.

If you are a true Christian, you should follow the biblical calendar.

You shouldn't follow the catholic-pagan calendar.

Would a true Christian eliminate Christ from the whole of the calendar and time and use the pagan designation of BCE?  Before the Common Era, thus eliminating Anno Domini, the Year of our Lord???

Jesus was born six months after John was born. 

The angel appeared to Zacharias during his first duty in the Temple. 

We know the Priesthood family of Zacharias and we know the week from the beginning of the year I think is the seven that Zacharias was in service in the Temple. 

Give him some time to get the news to his wife and rejuvenate because he had to make a baby and probably fast and pray as it was their custom. Abou six months after John the Baptist was conceive if we can use this word for Jesus. 

@slave. I liked the line of thinking but please check when the Angel appear to Zacharias and his family is posted and you can search when at what week was his lot to serve in the Temple.  

Luke 1:5 the priestly division of Zacharias was the family of Abijah.

luke 1:5 

5 In the time of Herod king of Judea there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the priestly division of Abijah; his wife Elizabeth was also a descendant of Aaron. 

   >>The priestly division of Abijah was assigned to serve in the temple during the eighth week of the year, according to the biblical text in 1 Chronicles 24:7-18.

Jesus Christ is the Lamb of God. God promised to Abraham to provide a Lamb.

And God provided Jesus Christ on the day of Atonement. Jesus Christ was born on the day of Atonement. 

The promised Lamb of God was born on the Atonement day. A sign that the promised Lamb of God to Abraham that it is the Lamb of the Atonement. Jesus as the Lamb of God will be slain for the forgiveness of the sins of many. 

John the Baptist had seen this and he said the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. 

Jesus knowing that He is the Lamb of God to be slain for our sins, he said for this reason I was born to die in this way as the prophetic was, for the forgiveness of the sins of the whole world. 

Psalm 22: 6 But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by everyone, despised by the people.

7 All who see me mock me; they hurl insults, shaking their heads.

8 “He trusts in the LORD,” they say, “let the LORD rescue him. Let him deliver him, since he delights in him.”

They pierced my hands and my feet and my bones are out of joint. 

14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint. My heart has turned to wax; it has melted within me.

15 My mouth is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth; you lay me in the dust of death.

16 Dogs surround me, a pack of villains encircles me; they pierce my hands and my feet.

17 All my bones are on display; people stare and gloat over me.

18 They divide my clothes among them and cast lots for my garment.
