Exactly.

And I lean towards a June birth.

According to this article, late spring, April/May, is a time of "lambing" (the birth of lambs), called "late lambing", coinciding with the "natural breeding and lambing season". It is after this birth, and the lambs being grown enough, that ewes and lambs need to be pasture fed. June fits beautifully with the shepherds being out in the fields tending to flocks with ewes and their recently born lambs.

Christ's birth in June coincided with the Feast of WeeksShavuot. During that feast, the Jews remember their deliverance from Egypt, as well as their entrance into the Promised Landthe land of milk and honey. Milk, cheese and honey is the traditional food served at this feast.

The Shavuot also celebrated the giving of the Torah, the Law, on the Mount. Christ was "born of a woman, under the Law". As well, the event of giving the Law is said to be the foundation of Judaism. Christ is the Foundation of His Congregation. Christ born on the feast of Shavuot fits into that.

The eating of milk and honey is prophesied by Isaiah in the very same chapter mentioning Christ's birth by a virgin:

14 Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel.

15 Curds and honey He shall eat, that He may know to refuse the evil and choose the good.

16 For before the Child shall know to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land that you dread will be forsaken by both her kings.

Additionally, the traditional reading of Ruth is done for the Feast of Weeks. As we may recall, Ruth is about the time of barley harvest taking place during the feast of weeks, as well as giving the lineage of David, and Christ is the Son of David.

So, in Shavuot, with the milk and honey, the remembrance of their deliverance from Egypt, Christ was born the Deliverer of His people, born in the feast of weeks, the Son of David, born of Ruth.

It is interesting to note Christ fulfilled the feasts in reverse: first, the Feast of Tabernacles–He was conceived; next, the Feast of Weeks, He was born; last, the Passover, He gave up His flesh for the sins of His people.

As to the Feast of Tabernacles, when Christ was conceived:

The Feast of Sukkot, or Tabernacles, is demonstrated in Gabriel's announcement to Mary. He states what was to occur upon her when she was to conceive:

34 Then Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I do not know a man?”

35 And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God.

God was her "booth", overshadowing her. A sukkot was more of a hut made of branches, giving shade in a weary land of toil. This is what God was upon Mary as she conceived within her. He was protecting her while she carried the flesh of Christ to term.

A tradition on Sukkot was to visit relatives and stay with them. This, during that overshadowing of God, Mary did, staying 3 months at the house of Elizabeth until the birth and just after the birth of John the Baptist. At the time of the announcement by Gabriel, Elizabeth was in her 6th month, but by the time Mary arrived, Elizabeth was likely beginning her 8th month, Mary having arrived after the Feast of Tabernacles (falling anywhere from mid-September to the beginning of October). Joseph had likely accompanied her. Elizabeth herself did not go to Jerusalem for the feast, staying shut-in while pregnant at her advanced age, unable to travel. Mary may have traveled from Jerusalem after the feast (roughly early to mid-October) to Elizabeth's household with the relatives of Elizabeth returning after the feast, staying with Elizabeth until the birth of John Baptist (first week of Jan.) to help her in her remaining months, and perhaps a week or so after his birth, until around mid-January. This was the time of the month the rains were making the trees come alive again, and things were turning green and lush. Mary was between 3 and 4 months pregnant, not yet along enough to make travel risky. Keep in mind, Hebron, Elizabeth's home city, was only 14 miles from Bethlehem, 19 miles to Jerusalem, however, 90 miles from Nazareth.

A filthy liar.

That's not Christianity.

That's the Doctrine of Balaam,

and the eating of the sacrifices of the dead.

The real Christ instructed about the sacrifice for Thanksgiving,

a totally separate sacrifice from the sacrifice for sin Christ was about to offer,

and to FINISH.

It was finished by His death,

since the wages of sin is death,

therefore it cannot be perpetuated as the Romish church claims.

Under the law,

the sin sacrifice and the thanksgiving sacrifice were separate.

One could not have leaven (sin sacrifice),

the other required the inclusion of a leavened loaf (thanksgiving),

ensuring their separation.

Christ showed how the Supper was to be done after He finished His sacrifice,

and the two elements of the Supper were to memorialize His death and its New Testament in His blood.

A memorial is not an actual,

but a remembrance.

The Lincoln memorial is not actually Lincoln,

but meant to remember him and what he accomplished,

for instance.

One can point to this memorial and say,

That's Lincoln,

and most would understand it isn't literally Lincoln.

>>15183822

He did not say they "become his flesh".

Paul called them a "memorial" or "remembrance".

A memorial is not the actual object being depicted,

but a remembrance of that object.

This is why Jesus said,

Do this in remembrance of Me.

It's therefore a memorial,

and not an "actual".

Those stating otherwise are deluded liars.

>>15183863

It's still swallowing,

and going into the draught.

>>15183914

No more than a wafer is actual flesh and blood,

or divinity either.

>>15183921

The price for the sins of His people was owed.

He therefore sacrificed Himself in their place,

much as a husband would give place himself in the line of fire for his wife.

This is a sort of sacrifice,

the husband sacrificing his life so his wife can live.

>>15183938

No.

This Jesus in whom I believe left us His Gospel,

the Bread of Heaven.

It is that which we are to "eat".

Those consuming that Bread of Heaven,

the Gospel,

have been reformed by their Father in Heaven,

made after the image of Jesus Christ.

Being made after His image is what makes them good,

since only God is good,

and Jesus is the fullness of the Godhead.

It is their belief of it that effectively makes them "cannibals".

Hint:

When a physical thing becomes something else than what it was originally was,

that's reincarnation.

>>15183993

To clarify,

reincarnation doesn't really happen.

It is a false doctrine.
