Thanks. I knew those things but it is always good to recall these events. Who knows if a time may come were we will not have our Bibles in hand. So, continually refreshing our memories is a good practice.
I did know how the Jews calculate their year. I had heard of a June date before, bit also September. We may find out some time through some archeological find. But it really does not matter to me the exact month. It matters that He was born!
I had read that the Herod, from time of the slaughter of the children 2 years and younger, died in 4 B.C. So Jesus was born before that date, perhaps 2 or more years earlier than 4 B.C. because we do not know the date of the slaughter edict.
The dates should be 28 A.D. when John started his ministry and 29 A.D. the first Passover Jesus attended, according to the accuracy of the records. Sorry about that.
I am with you, we may not ever know when Jesus was born, Earl is close on the month, but the only thing Jesus said to do in remembrance of Him was at the last super, Luke 22:19. Scripture does let us know when Jesus came, the year He was baptized. Luke 3:1-6 when John the Baptist came. Tiberius Caesar was emperor from 14-37 A.D. Pontius Pilate ruled from 26-36 A.D. so the fifteenth year of Tiberius would have been 29 A.D. start of John the Baptist ministry.
This may have been in the late summer or early fall, Jesus came up from Galilee to Jordan to be baptized and the Spirit of God descending upon him, Matt. 3:13-17Mark 1:911Luke 3:21-22. Then Jesus went into the wilderness for forty days, tempted by Satan, then collecting the twelve.
In John 2, Jesus was in Cana of Galilee at the wedding and after in John 2:13, the Passover was at hand. This would place it just before spring of 30 A.D. There are four Passovers recorded in John, John 2:13John 5:1John 6:4John 19:14, Jesus was crucified on the fourth. John 6:4 is in question if it was a Passover, or another required feast. May this help.
The Hebrew New Year was calculated and adjusted every year from the spring equinox, according to our calendar this would be approximately March 21, give or take.
Their months went off the moon cycle so the sixth month would be about 26 weeks from March 21.
Gabriel would have appeared to Mary somewhere around our September 21, Elisabeth was already 6 month with child so John the Baptist would have been born close to December 25, Jesus would have been born somewhere around the following June 21.
I have not spent a lot of study on their calendar so I could be off some, but it should be close.
I also have read that He may have been born in the fall, such as September 11, 6 B.C. I don't know if we will ever know for sure. But I don't think it was December 25th.

I agree that Cain inherited his sinful nature from Adam. Before Adam & Eve ate from the tree of knowledge of good & evil they knew no sin because they were made in the image of God. It was only after they ate from the tree that they new good & evil.
Jesus is our role model on how we [should] live. [If] it was [impossible] for us to [sin no more] then Jesus wouldn't of commanded us to [do] it.
John 5:14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: [sin no more], lest a worse thing come unto thee.
John 8:11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and [sin no more].

I think you have not read yet 2 Ezra which is 2 Esdras in the apocrypha. After reading Ezra, 1 Esdras, and Esther (both books and in order) then you need to read 2 Esdras. God did not answer them, he was not with them, he never responded to Nehemiah's cry for Him to come and dwell with them, yet there was no answer. They were never saved from captivity by going back to the land trying to rebuild a house to the Lord. They rebelled against his captivity and he tells Ezra to tell the people there that they need to go their way (2 Esdras 1:4-9). They thought the burden of the Lord (the reason he didn't come) was because of the stranger wives ( Jeremiah 23:25-40 & Lamentations 2:14). So they put them and their children away. They were wrong. Listen to the prophets he proclaimed came from him (2 Esdras 1:38-39). 2 Esdras 2:1-17, 2 Esdras 2:33-48, 2 Esdras 3:23-4:2, 2 Esdras 5:16-19, 2 Esdras 6:57-59, Psalm 127:1. Either be in captivity still or seek the Lord with all your heart and soul and He will release unto you the wisdom and understanding of His word through your spirit. 2 Chronicles 6:29-33, Ezekiel 47:21-33, Isaiah 56:1-8, etc. etc. there is so much more... Christ comes in the full volume of the book, do not add nor take away. Cherry picking scriptures is of the false teachers who have come to deceive and the Word of God is not in them.
The Lord has called us out of Egypt(the world), from sin so that He can be our Lord, He has called us out of serving sin, being servant to sin to sonship in His kingdom, to serve Him in spirit and truth, in holiness all the days our lives without fear. You have brought me out of Egypt to be my Lord. You are my God.
Gauta M. - I assume you are referring to the phrase, " ,,,,, neither shall ye make any offering thereof in your land." The word "thereof" refers back to the blemished animals.
Ecclesiastes 12:13," Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: fear God and keep hIS commandments: for this [is] the whole [duty] of man." Exodus 16:28 And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS and my laws? Exodus 20:6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS. Leviticus 22:31 Therefore shall ye KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS, and do them: I [am] the LORD. Leviticus 26:3 If ye walk in my statutes, and KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS, and do them; Deuteronomy 5:10 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS. also ( 1 Kings 9:6; 2 Kings 17:13; Nehemiah 1:9; Proverbs 3:1; Proverbs 4:4; Proverbs 7:2; John 14:15; John 15:10) Matthew 7:21," Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord,shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
