If Jesus was born in October why isnt it celebrated in October?

To coenside with pagan holiday, 'christmas' tree is pagan too. When Christianity brought to Rome, Romans better accepted it if somewhat integrated in pagan traditions.

One reason is because there are as many opinions as to when Jesus was born as there are Christians, and Christian groups/denominations.

The New Testament does give subtle hints that Jesus was in fact born in October. But not every one believes the New Testament, and not every one believes that Jesus lived. I do. I believe that Jesus was born in October.

As far as the kind of evidence people want, no one really has that or ever will. If the New Testament isn't enough, nothing is ever going to be.

There is no commandment in the New Testament to celebrate any one's birthday. Nor is there really any prohibition against it either. "He that regardeth the day regardeth it unto The Lord, and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he regardeth it not."

In one respect, Jesus' birth does get celebrated in October. Some retail establishments begin advertising for holiday shoppers in October any way.

Who celebrates Jesus' birth in October? You, if you want to. I do.

I

'm catholic raised, and I'm a student of the king james bible. I've been studying the life and words of Jesus since I was a boy. The celebration in the month of December is strictly optional. No church/denomination has any real right, power or authority to make that kind of choice for any one.

Well - I didn't know he was born in October, but I can tell you that Christian celebrations fall right on or very close to what were (and for some, still are) Pegan holidays. There is a lot of interesting information out there about why holidays fall when they do. Start researching and reading!

People - I'm sorry some of you don't want to believe facts about why holidays are set when they are. How about actually assessing FACTUAL information before you just blindly accept something? Researching reliable resources about HISTORICAL FACT comes in rather handy.

There was some dispute about the proper date of the birth of Christ and not everyone agrees even to this day. It was not until A.D. 350, that December 25 was declared the official date for celebrating Christmas by Pope Julius I. When the fathers of the church decided to settle upon a date to celebrate the event, they wisely chose the day of the winter solstice, since it coincided with some rival religions' celebrations and the rebirth of the sun (see Year of the Sun Calendar), symbolized by bon-fires and yule logs. December 25 was a festival long before the conversion of the Germanic peoples to Christianity, it seemed fitting that the time of their winter festival would also be the time to celebrate the birth of Christ.

They say jesus was born in october but they changed the date for christmas to be celebrated along with the pagan holiday of the winter solstice which was the longest night of the year. They changed quite a few events in christianity to a different month and because the Roman calendar which we use now was not invented with all 12 months until after the death of jesus!

The Council of Nicea voted, in the 4th Century, to change, and strike, many of the Scriptural writings as a way of creating uniformity in their "faith." Many of Jesus remarks from the Sermon on The Mount were stricken so as to increase the dogmatic teachings favored by the hateful men who were in charge.

It was a bureaucratic thing. For example, it is said that Jesus spoke in a positive manner about Karmic Law, reincarnation, and self-determination, and NEVER said anything about making his flock into "Fishers of men." Well, the Council realized that if such "blasphemy" was allowed to take hold, they would have no dogmatic control over the masses, and as a result no tithing. They wanted money to support their cause, and the best way to get that support was to convince a gullible populace that they would be "eternally damned" if they didn't do what the Church ordered.

Jesus's birthdate is not given anywhere. It is celebrated on Dec 25. NOT IN OCTOBER

Understand that many of the holidays established have been set cause of the catholic church. The early catholic church wants to minister to pagans, what then did was take the already in placed holidays and added Christendom to it. The winter solstice, where there was worship of the "mother" earth caused the catholic church to take that and add the virgin Mary. This appealed to the pagans. It was a process but the foundation was based in Rome.

Besides, no one truly knows the exact day Christ was born, except God himself.

because that is not what the preachers/pastors want you to know they want you to just belive in what they say and go on about your business.christianity as a whole is JACKED UP.preachers dont even know theirselves and christmas (in december)is a peagenistic holiday any way.so to sum this all up christmas is a lie and preachers/pastors or whatever you want to call them don't want you to know about it.

Because he was in Mary's womb in December and that is considered when he entered this world. It is celebrated as the time when Jesus tabernacled in this world.

he was not born in october he was born in dec on the 25 where did you get that idea from? the reason i know this is because i am a his chirstan child
