When was Jesus born?
Today would be too cold for Jesus to be born in a stable and for the wise men to travel to bring him gifts.
Anyone got an estimate or something?

Iunno just saying .....
Oh and by the way,he was born in Judea,it wasn't called Palestina until 135CE.
I live in Israel (Although I can't enter Bethlehem because of Arab-only roads) and it's HOT in here and we only had 1 rain storm so far which wasn't that rainy and I don't think it was that different 2011 years ago.
Apparently it was proximately March~June-ish. They made it December 25th because of the Solstice.
Well, I live in the Bahrain, so it's somewhat close to where Jesus was born. Even though it's winter, the weather here is still very nice.
In israel right now we have 20 degrees celsius.. which is 68 degrees Fahrenheit
good weather..
December 25, or more commonly known as Christmas was to [b][/b]celebrate the birth of Jesus.[b][/b] I think that it was miscarried and was told as the birth of Jesus. I've heard that he was born in March. 0.o But I guess it's hard to prove exactly when he was born, unless we had a time machine.

You made me spit up my tea. But thank you, this uncontrollable laughter was an amazing way to start my day. I'm feeling even more fancy than I usually am, a feat thought not possible until this very moment.
Jesus was said to be born around March-April.
Saturnalia was a Roman Holiday to celebrate the solstice from the 21st of December to the 25th (or 26th).
The Pope saw how barbaric and drunk people were on Saturnalia, so he issued the 25th to be the holy day when Jesus was born.
So all the Christians stopped drinking during that week in order to pay respects to his birth, and as Christianity spread, more people stopped partying for Saturnalia and celebrated Christmas.
How can you verify when it happened through prophecy if the accounts are not matching up?
Long ago.
Its not known, even the year of his birth is hard to know. The best accounts of him is in the bible and it is somewhat contradicting.
@xIridesc3nce: Lmao, now that you say it, I remember Huey saying something about Gays
I was told Summer in Church class(Catholic).
About two thousand years ago.
[quote=iElite]I never believed it because I dont believe anything on T.V. that isnt a news channel[/quote]
quel ironie!
ot: I've heard he was probably born in early April.
[quote=Appi]What's "Saturnalia"? O_O[/quote]
I think its the Pagan holiday celebrated by the Romans where people gave gifts.
I vaguely remember seeing something about it on the boondocks.

EDIT: Never mind. Today's just the day it's celebrated, not the exact date he was born.
[quote=Appi]YES. I was right!
Edit: About the Rome thing...[/quote]
Oh so Saturnalia was a real holiday?
I thought it was just an urban legend.
OT: If you guys are saying not december 25 and Im feeling the same thing, I'm feeling real lied to right now.
The Catholic school I went to beat the December 25 birthdate like there was no tomorrow
I've heard November, January, March and October as possible dates
I believe it was early October or late March, considering January and November are normally cold months.
Evidence and common sense says mid-october,

Do you know how bitter Palestinian winters get?
Most Christian religions will agree that He was born in the spring
