Tom Wright on the historicity of Jesusโ€™s birth: https://youtu.be/gfP01vgqshQ

โ€œapparentlyโ€ the birth of Jesus most likely happened in the Spring (if at all) beween 6 and 4 BCE.
source : various websites on tโ€™internet

So he was born before he existed. Which isnโ€™t as daft as it sounds, considering all the other nonsense accepted by some as being true.

eta I didnโ€™t read every post before commenting, soz.

I thought it was โ€˜every time a door closesโ€™ another one slams shut.

Happy Humbug to one and all.

Iโ€™m sharing the link as an NYT subscriber, so you wonโ€™t need to worry about the paywall

Always important to research the writer! Iโ€™m beginning to understand the NYT approach.
