   “So if this jesus guy said to remember his death date, why do christians celebrate the wrong day? And that means any time the celebration is not March 24th, christians are sinning.”

   Unfortunately many are only focused on the so-called traditions. Jesus directed that we contemplate what his death meant for all humans. It had nothing to do with colored eggs, rabbits and such

   The day happened to fall on 3/24 this year. It’s different each year. Taking the time to discern the exact date would reflect a greater appreciation for the event.

   Jesus is not God. As the Bible shows he is the son of God. He was sent to buy back what Adam lost, the prospect of eternal life as humans

   “So what does the 14th day of the jewish month translate to on the current calendar? And where did you get this information, since you appear to be the only one with a date?”

   The date was given in the Bible at Exodus 12:18 & Leviticus 23:5, the 14th day of Abib (later called Nisan). Jewish tradition (per Wikipedia) shows Passover or Pesach as starting on the 15th day of Nisan but scripturally it was the 14th. The Jews reckoned the day as starting at sundown, so Passover on the 15th day would start the evening of the 14th. So Christians observing the death of Christ as he commanded would look to the evening of Nisan (Abib) 14 as the exact date. In 2024, that was March 24

   FWIW, I didn’t mention ‘facts’, I said ‘events’

   “But Christmas was moved to December probably so the unpopular Christians could celebrate it under cover of the Roman Saturnalia festivals, which were basically their versions of a prolonged New Year’s Eve party.”

   That sounds reasonable since Christmas is not a Christian holy day in any context.

   “Using the bible to defend the bible is hilarious.”

   ….and using atheistic reasoning to defend atheistic thinking is not?

   “would have been something recorded by the romans about the guy claiming to be a king before pontius pilate sent a legion down to the backwaters of middle east to kill him.”

   a comment like this shows how unfamiliar you are with the events recorded. And it proves the point at Ps. 10:4

   uh, well ‘christians’ have not ‘pinned down’ his birthdate. He wasn’t born in December. The Bible does not mention a specific date, Jesus commanded that his followers were to commemorate his death, not his birth. His death occured on the 14th day of the Jewish month of Nisan. As for his birth, based on what information is in the Bible, it was most likely in October
