It is interesting in the book of Revelation ,the book reveals a birth sign for the manchild.

That birth sign can be shown scientifically to be a crescent moon. A tiny sliver. The bible calls it the beginning of months (using the moon) and New Moon Day.

And nowhere near December 25.

Wouldn’t it be ironic that Islam looking for that crescent moon every month actually might observe,in some way, what Christianity and Judaism can’t?

The birth of the Messiah of Israel.

What’s interesting is there are Christians and Jews who also look to that first crescent moon because the bible notes that begins a month.

I’m waiting for the day for the people of faith in any religion to understand why there is a New Moon Day in the Bible.
They won’t learn that from Islam, but Islam seems to know when a new month begins.

Unless one worships the sun as being the only light in the sky for signs and appointments and days and years.

Religions today have one thing in common. They too are deceived by Satan.
Or maybe the statement should be, Satan deceives the whole world because of the religions of the world.

Thankfully the Bible is the source for Truth.
And the source to use to defeat religion.
Even if it is the one you grew up in.

Revelations 12:5 does not mention the moon
5 And she gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to [a]rule all the [b]nations with a rod of iron; and her child was caught up to God and to His throne. 6 Then the woman fled into the wilderness where she *had a place prepared by God, so that there [c]she would be nourished for one thousand two hundred and sixty days.
there is no crescent moon in the Bible if i recall correctly

As to December 25 - the reason for this is well known -- Christians in the 1st century celebrated March 25th as the annunciation, when Jesus came to Mary's womb - so March + 9 months = December

Next - the "moon" -- Judaism also has a lunar based calendar as does hinduism, not just Islam

Besides which, come on - the day of Pascha - the celebration of Jesus' resurrection, is based on the lunar calendar, which is why the date of Pascha changes every year

Then you say I’m waiting for the day for the people of faith in any religion to understand why there is a New Moon Day in the Bible. -- everyone knows the reason why - because the Hebraic world, like most of the ancient world was LUNAR based, not solar based.

Why do you think we have 30 days in a month?

The Hebrew months are based on the lunar calendar.
