Jesus is generally believed to have been born around 4 BCE.
Using the common Gregorian calendar method for numbering years, in which the current year is 2011, Jesus' birth is thought to be around 2 BC/BCE and 1 AD/CE.
Christians have always believed Jesus is the son of God. This is basic Christian teaching.
John writes in the gospel of John:
Joh 20:31 but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.
Philip talking to the "Ethiopian eunuch" says:
Act 8:37 Then Philip said, "If you believe with all your heart, you may." And he answered and said, "I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God."
I believe that the Christians thought Jesus was the son of god and was born to take away their sins
The evidence indicates that Jesus was born in Bethlehem.
I don't know what the Croatians believe but most Christians don't believe that Jesus was actually born on December 25th; they believe that December 25th was chosen as a date to celebrate that he was born.
Christmas is celebrated by Christians and non-Christians because the majority of people believe in god and Jesus and they obviously will believe that, that was the day that Jesus Christ was born even though it was not the accurate day it was a guess and that's why its celebrated on December 25th.
Because Islam is supposed to be the 'natural' religion, Islam teaches that all are Muslim until converted to another religion by their parents. On this view, Christians are born as Muslims but became Christians with baptism. Muslims believe that Jesus was not the Son of God, but merely a messenger of Allah.
Christians believe that Jesus was a virgin when he died, so we don't believe that Jesus had a sexual relationship with Mary Magdolin, but even though we believe that Mother Mary was a virgin when Jesus was born, some believe that since she was married to Joseph, that she had children after Jesus, so it is very possible that there is an indirect decendent of Jesus.
Bethlehem is where Jesus Christ, who Christians believe to be the Son of God, was born. It is also the birthplace of King David.
Jews and Christains are related. They both believe in the Lord God. But the Jews only believe in the old testament ( Before Jesus was born). The christians believe in both the old and the new testament. To make this simpler the Jews didn't believe in Jesus but the christians did. Another name for Jesus was the messiah. Pronouced Me-Sigh-A.
Christmas is the celebration of the day Jesus was born and in the Jewish religion, they do not believe Jesus is the masiah but Christians do believe that He is the masiah and celebrate it every year!
Because christians believe that on that day the star appeared above Bethlehem and Jesus Christ was born. Jesus Christ was a bit like a messenger really, who taught christianity. At the end he was hung.
Bethlehem is a significant place in Christianity since baby Jesus was born there.
