You're absolutely correct but try telling that to a Catholic.
You are right... and merry Christmas!
4 BC is a year before 3 BC.
When was the census taken?
Later
It would be about the right time, as Caesar would have taxed an agricultural society in the fall.
I don’t believe you will find a exact Birth date for Christ mentioned in the Bible.
So just to be clear - the year of Herod’s death - would be 6 A.D. He began his rule in 4 B.C.
Interesting, thank you for posting.
I firmly believe OPEC often meets in Vienna because of the defeat of the muslim hoards led by Jan Sobiesky in the 1683 Battle of Vienna.
“Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day—”
Col. 2:16
“One man regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. Let each man be fully convinced in his own mind.”
No, Herod the Great—the one usually meant by “King Herod”—died in 4 B.C. We have other sources for him besides the New Testament. Matthew calls his son Archelaus, not Herod Archelaus. Archelaus did not die in A.D. 6 but was sent off to Gaul.
Great verse (and Seventh Day Adventists, take heed...) but do you believe God does not want us to know what day Christ was actually born?
Frankly, I’m into this date because the anti Mason party (which evolved into Lincoln’s GOP) was born and was partially founded by Pres J Quincy Adams after the murder of Captain Morgan, a convert to Christ, on September 11, 1926; Morgan’s murder on this date also galvanized the faith of Charles Finney. H W Bush gave his New World Order speeches on September 11th in 90 and ‘91 as well; all which point to an idea that people who are antiGod or antiChrist may well believe September 11 is Christ’s real birthday.
OK take a deep breath and ask God to correct your dyslexia.
Did Herod rule for 10 years? By what has been posted prior one must conclude the years are not a problem. Herod began ruling 1 year before Christ’s birth and completed his reign in 6 A.D.

Also, weather in Israel approximates that of Southern California; which means they would not have been cold overnight...
He was BORN TO DIE just for us. Without that special Birth we all would be looking at an eternal hell.
The greatest blunder was putting Independence Day on July 4th in the summer. That is fire season, at odds with fireworks. It should be in the snowy wintertime.
Therefore, I officially declare Independence Day on December 25th, and Christmas on July 4th.
Get on with rewriting the White Christmas songs which are wassis anyways.
Muslims and their friends who fund them, the Globalist Elites all must hate the day Christ was born... Benghazi was on September 11th.
So was the economic crash of September 11, 2008 that so (not) coincidently submarined Palin/McCain’s “the Surge is working!” campaign. They were beating Obama at that point, by a lot. No one ever figured out who dumped half a billion dollars in stocks within a forty five minute time frame that morning.
Very correct, thank you and GBU
