What if Jesus Christ of the town of Nazareth…was born on September the 2nd not December 25…

What if Jesus Christ of the town of Nazareth…was born on September the 2nd not December 25…


Is there a command or an approved example in the New Testament of Christ to celebrate and remember even any birthday or in this instance the birth of Jesus…God’s only Son…

If there is then I have searched without fruit…I find no Authority in the Bible, in the New Testament of Christ to celebrate or mandate the celebration of the birth of Jesus…


The Shepherds were in the field watching the flocks…under the stars. I do not believe they were in winter due to this fact…The time of taxation was at hand…most people do not travel in the winter… Jerusalem was very busy with people there to pay taxes…there was no room in the inn. Yet Jesus was born in a manger… and then the world began to change…


Three wise men following the star…brought gifts of gold…frankincense…and myrrh…these wise men gave enough gold and money worth of stuff that God who is Jesus’s Father provided all that would be needed for His Son Jesus through the hands of the wise men…the wise men then knew the child was in danger and did what they could to protect God’s only Son…Joeseph and Mary then fled to Egypt and God’s only Son eventually grew up in the Town of Nazareth… Jesus is the only one named Jesus that came from the town of Nazareth in Israel…when asked by the one known as Saul who was killing Jesus’s followers… Jesus of Nazareth responded with these words…


Act 22:7-8 KJV And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecute thou me? 8 And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And He said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecute.


We are told what to celebrate in the New Agreement with Creation called the New Testament of Christ…I believe the birth of Jesus is extremely important but we are told we are to remember His death, burial, and resurrection not His birth…however many people celebrate the Holiday traditions teaching of Jesus birth and thus His death burial and resurrection…there is no Authority to celebrate Christmas than there is to have Thanksgiving here in America…it is a tradition and it is not a sin to participate in tradition as long as you do not bind the tradition as law. Listen to the instruction given…


1Co 11:23-30 KJV For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which He was betrayed took bread: 24 And when He had given thanks, He brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of Me. 25 After the same manner also He took the cup, when He had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in My Blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of Me. 26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come. 27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. 29 For he that eats and drinks unworthily, eats and drinks damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. 30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.


We are told to celebrate or remember the death and resurrection of Jesus by partaking of the bread and wine in remembrance of Jesus setting us free from sin and death…for He did not stay dead.


Mat 27:45-53 KJV Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour. 46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken Me? 47 Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias. 48 And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar (sour wine), and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink. 49 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save Him. 50 Jesus, when He had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. 51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; 52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, 53 And came out of the graves after His resurrection, and went into the Holy city, and appeared unto many.


Jesus did not sin when He was forsaken on the cross but correctly identified what had happened…the Holy Spirit that landed on Him at His baptism and did many miracles to prove Jesus words were Truth and Life…left Him and Jesus correctly asked Why did you leave me God…then He said it is Finished and gave up Himself as a willing sacrifice and was raised three days later…


Jesus died and was raised from the dead so you and I could never choose evil or a wrong immoral thing again…Jesus’ work of redemption…provided forgiveness of all past evil and a cleansing of the evil as long as we obey Jesus the Author of Salvation. Jesus will reveal the truth to you and then all you must do is what is right with our Creator. Will you do what is right when the truth is revealed to you? Yes or no. Do you believe Jesus died on the cross and was raised from the dead being God’s only Son He Fathered? Yes or no?


Listen to this account after Jesus Christ’s resurrection…

Mar 16:14-20 KJV Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen. 15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 20 And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen. Heb 5:8-9 KJV Though he were a Son, yet learned He obedience by the things which He suffered; 9 And being made perfect, He became the Author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey Him…


Father I believe in Your only Fathered Son Jesus the Christ please show me mercy and grant me repentance by revealing the truth and empowering me to repent and reconciled with You through the salvation supplied by Your only Son…In Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
