I was told there wasn't going to be any math in this debate.
I don't know about squaring the circle but I had a crazy night at circle in the square a few years back. Let's just say that this jew was calling out jesus' name (and a few other names as well) for hours on end.
does your mathematical thingy only work using leap year, which doesn't come every year?

I am not certain I quite understand what, exactly, it the point of this thread. But I'd like to say that Jesus or God did not choose December 25th to be anything. Man, the Catholic Church in particular made this day a holiday. The reason, well primarily because other "pagan" faiths celebrated Festivals at the time of the Winter Solstice. Also, it was part of a "deal", so to speak between Emperor Constantine to accept the Catholic Church as the official Church -- with some concessions of course; Sunday, for example, instead of the Sabbath to honor the pagan Sun God.
As far as all of that numerological stuff, whew, "it's waaaaay over my ]Originally posted by C0lehead" and, frankly, I'm gad.

Okay, originally the Bible wasn't written at all, it was passed down verbally from generation to generation. Then it got written in Hebrew & translated to Greek.

Furthermore, the shepherds and the wise men were not there at the same time. And there were more than three wise men. It was just that they gave three kinds of gifts (gold, frankincense, and myrrh). The wise men were inside the HOUSE where Jesus resided with His mother and stepfather, and they were there within two years of His birth. So those nativity scenes that are popular this time of year are pretty inaccurate.

December 25 is the birthday of Baal (Tammuz), who, interestingly enough, was more or less an antichrist "prototype" if you will.

Bottom line--Xmas is not a Christian holiday, but rather pagan.
