Does any bible say Jesus was born on Christmas?

Answer 1

Christmas trees became popular in 16th century Germany, well after The Bible was completed.

However, the KJV Bible makes a reference to decorated trees being a heathen practice in Jeremiah 10:1-4, as follows: "Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the HEATHEN . . . for the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.

They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not . . . be not afraid of them for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good. " This passage has been translated differently in other versions of the Bible in ways that suggest the fashioning of a wooden idol rather than a decorated tree. However it would appear that the KJV is closer to the original Hebrew.

Answer 2

No. The celebration of Christmas did not begin until the fourth century, when it was decided to hold an annual celebration of the birth of Jesus on 25th December, the traditional birthday of the sun god. The Bible was completed long before the fourth century.

Answer 3

No, the Bible does not give the exact date of Jesus' birth, although it does say that he was born around the census of Caesar Augustus, and the first to take place while Quirinius was governor of Syria (Luke 2:1-2), so scholars and historians can estimate the time. However, December 25 is likely no where near the actual day that Jesus was born; I'm pretty sure that he was actually born over the summer, but we celebrate it in December because that was the tradition that was established.

Additional Answer:

Many encyclopaedias, Bible Commentaries and other writings believe Christ was born in late Autumn (mid-Sept to mid-Oct) by the clues in Scripture.

Because the dominant Christian sect under the Roman Empire rulership developed in the 4th Century AD made the 'birthday' of Jesus on the 25 December date to help incorporate pagan worshippers into Christianity, this tradition continues to exist.

Answer 4

The term 'Christmas' is not mentioned in the KJV Bible.
