Yes there is.

 

[jesuscrept]

If were to believe what's in the bible then Jesus was born in Spring/Summer. The date 25th December had been used numerous times before Jesus as a date of birth for various Gods of the Romans, Persians, Indians etc.

A collection of short stories.

Jesus love you. How do I know? Because the Bible tells me so.

Are you asking or telling?

 

[DotCommunist]

What evidence is there, then?

first hand accounts from people who lived at the time. As much as we have for anyone of that time.

 

[Jon-of-arc]

I may be wrong (coz I'm just taking a history teachers word for it...) but I'm pretty sure that there are non-biblical historic references to jesus?

 

[Olle]

the bible is an information tech for those who go out in their high vis yellow jackets selling the WORD OF god

 

[Mrs Magpie]

It was Pope Julius I who set the date as 25th December.

 

[Maurice Picarda]

Can't you just ban him now and save time?

jon-of arc welcome

Nah. For the astronomy to add up it would have been about 29 Sept a few years earlier or later or something.

 

[jesuscrept]

first hand accounts from people who lived at the time. As much as we have for anyone of that time.

It's the lack of first hand accounts from people at the time that I find somewhat dubious. Maybe Jesus was real, he probably was. He certainly wasn't the son of God.

Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

The bible tells us that it's ok to kill gays, adulterers and insolent children.

 

[Jon-of-arc]

What astronomy?

Something to do with wise men following a star?

What first-hand accounts would that be? I know of none.

None particularly reliable, I don't think.

Having said that, I don't find the idea that he was a complete invention very plausible either.
