Exposing The Deception of Christian Authors
All of us (Christians and sceptics) are led to believe that Jesus died comparatively young in his early thirties if we are to believe the Christian scriptures. Yet, Jewish sources on ancient priests could put the age of Jesus in the 50s. The dates for his birth, mission and death are unknown, although Christians celebrate December 25th as his nativity, that is totally incorrect. December 25th is the date of the birth of the Roman God Sol Invictus aka the Sun God! A date is given to Christians by the Roman authority circa 354 CE. See link below.
There is no mention of birth celebrations in the writings of early Christian writers such as Irenaeus (c. 130–200) or Tertullian (c. 160–225). Origen of Alexandria (c. 165–264) goes so far as to mock Roman celebrations of birth anniversaries, dismissing them as “pagan” practices—a strong indication that the birth of Jesus, was not marked with similar festivities at that place and time…Finally, in about 200 CE, a Christian teacher in Egypt makes reference to the date Jesus was born. According to Clement of Alexandria, several different days had been proposed by various Christian groups. Surprising as it may seem, Clement doesn’t mention December 25 at all. Clement writes: “There are those who have determined not only the year of our Lord’s birth, but also the day; and they say that it took place in the 28th year of Augustus, and on the 25th day of [the Egyptian month] Pachon [May 20 in our calendar] … And treating of His Passion, with very great accuracy, some say that it took place in the 16th year of Tiberius, on the 25th of Phamenoth [March 21]; and others on the 25th of Pharmuthi [April 21] and others say that on the 19th of Pharmuthi [April 15] the Savior suffered. Further, others say that He was born on the 24th or 25th of Pharmuthi [April 20 or 21] …
Archaeological evidence of Jesus does not exist.
Lawrence Mykytiuk, an associate professor at Purdue University, wrote: There is no definitive physical or archaeological evidence of the existence of Jesus. “There’s nothing conclusive, nor would I expect there to be,” Mykytiuk says. “Peasants don’t normally leave an archaeological trail.”
“The reality is that we don’t have archaeological records for virtually anyone who lived in Jesus’s time and place,” says University of North Carolina religious studies professor Bart D. Ehrman, author of Did Jesus Exist? The Historical Argument for Jesus of Nazareth. “The lack of evidence does not mean a person at the time didn’t exist. It means that she or he, like 99.99% of the rest of the world at the time, made no impact on the archaeological record.” https://www.history.com/news/was-jesus-real-historical-evidence
Neither do we have Jewish records of birth during or before the time of Jesus. Also, it would debunk all Christianity claims on Jesus, his birth, his ministry and his death. In addition, to the supposed messiahship genealogies in Matthew and Luke. The Jew did not recognise birthdays nor did the Christians for the first three centuries.
The Jews never registered birth in the time stated
Registers of birth, marriage and death within Jewish communities.
Birth
Unfortunately, the Jewish authorities pursued a haphazard method of record-keeping, and in the case of births of little interest was shown in recording the birth of an infant. Jews did not begin the process of registering births until 1764. The Jewish congregations held on to their less than complete birth, marriage and death registers and are only available from the Congregations themselves or a few specialist collections.

Yet, still, we are inundated by Christian text supporting dates or text stating the genealogy of the Jesus family from witnesses. When I was a young student 70 years or more ago, Jesus was born 1 CE, which in Latin is Anno Domini (AD) which means, in the year of the Lord. Today, we see a figure of between 6-4 BC/BCE for the birth of Jesus, yet, BC cannot then be before Christ. However, all this is conjecture/hypothesis/guesswork on the part of Christianity. Christians rely on the pro-Samaritan Gospel for the 3-year ministry of Jesus. The information on the 30-years age of Jesus when starting his ministry. Found solely in Luke 3:23 in the New Testament. The author of Luke took the supposed age of Jesus at the start of his so-called one or three-year ministry from the OT book of Numbers 4:3. Stating: the priests who chose to work in the Temple were between the ages of 30 to 50 years of age. This could have added two decades to the age of Jesus. There was no fixed age as it was hypothetical as they did not celebrate birthdays.
One of the things Napoleon was good for was he did set up a fantastically good system of civil registration in France. So what you really hope is that your English ancestors managed to find their way across the Channel to die because you’ll get a much better death certificate there than you would if they’d stayed in England.
Civil registration was not a completely new idea, but it had some resistance. The people who were in favour of it were, on the whole, the Liberal or Whig tendency non-conformists because prior to that the Church of England, as the established church, pretty much had a monopoly. Church of England registers had – and still have – a special legal status that others don’t obviously have.
Even if you are a Methodist or Baptist, and you kept fantastically good, detailed, meticulous registers, they still didn’t have the legal status of the worst, sloppiest, most blotted, messy, full of mistakes Church of England register. Because it belonged to the established church, it automatically had legal status. And that is why before civil registration you will quite often find people whom you know or suspect to be of a non-conformist persuasion – possibly Roman Catholic and even, in some cases, Jewish – registering the births of their children in the Church of England, having them baptised, probably standing there with their fingers crossed behind their backs because that was the only way to get legal status.

As you can see, even the more western European countries did not have a civil birth registry until the 1800s. So the bible authors/copyists are lying, as there is no doubt about that. What do you say?
