"Australian astronomer Dave Reneke (http://www.freewebs.com/astrospacenews/aboutdavereneke.htm) used complex computer software to chart the exact positions of all celestial bodies and map the night sky as it would have appeared over the Holy Land more than 2,000 years ago.

It revealed a spectacular astronomical event around the time of Jesus's birth."

(...)

"They found that a bright star which appeared over Bethlehem 2,000 years ago pinpointed the date of Christ's birth as June 17 rather than December 25."

(...)

"Using the St Matthew's Gospel as a reference point, Mr Reneke pinpointed the planetary conjunction, which appeared in the constellation of Leo, to the exact date of June 17 in the year 2BC."

If you read the Bible it says Jesus was born when the sheppards was out with there flocks. Nov, Dec & Jan. is the cold rainy season there, so he could not have been born in December, they would not have been out with there flocks then.

[Cloaked Raven]

I always had the idea Christ's birthday was in April... :weirdsmil

[Kraheera]

This doesn't surprise me. Gemini is the sign of communication, and often this sign espresses itself with hands. It is also prone to hand injuries.

Wow, that sounds familiar, doesn't it. :crown:

[elessar]

I believe it. 25th December was the day the wise men reached Bethlem, not the actual day of birth.

Jesus is a Gemini? :thumbsup:

I too share that birthday...and my name is Shaun...2 Shaun/Shawn's and a third forum member sharing a b-day with the late J.C.

I think I'd heard it was April, too. April or June, it doesn't matter to me. What matters is the He came and did what He came to do. I just celebrate on Dec 25th because everyone else does.

Jesus is a Gemini? :thumbsup:

That was exactly what I asked when I read the headline of this thread.

I find it very hard to believe that Jesus could be a Twin. We're typically far too superficial and uncomfortable with deep emotions.

[Shawn Blackwolf]

I feel *very* deeply emotional about that statement , and would
greatly disagree...one aspect of Gemini , not normally considered
by most astrologers today , is the split , yet ultimately overcoming
the split , between mind and heart...

And , the Sun sign , is only one consideration among many...

Let alone , Gemini is communication based , and deals with the
Mercurial messenger between realms...

Might want to rethink that...

Well, you know... Mormons believe Jesus and Lucifer were brothers... what if... oh wow. I just gave myself chills!

[Shawn Blackwolf]

Now , see...if I were to believe , in Jesus...

That would be the only way to make sense to me...

Jesus would represent worshipping God(s)...

Lucifer would represent you becoming a God...

Most people on this site , know my path...:bigredgri

Lucifer all the way ! Tempered by the Christlight ,
of course...:thumbsup:
