Jesus was conceived at Christmas and was born September 29. I watch Sheperd's Chapel and this s where I learned this and it makes sense.
God makes NO mention of Jesus birth in bible....only a book that has more then proven its divinity for 1000s of yrs,translated into 1000s of languages and predicted the future to prove it REALLY is from the TRUE God and YOU support some Babylonish BS!!!????Actually there was a better chance Jesus was born 9/29 then 12/25.....but again Bible doesnt say.
LOLLLLLLLLL!!!!
This post made to help those that might be on the fence RE truth!!!
My point in answering original question RE a decade is,yes a decade would have started the day Jesus was born till he was 10 yrs old.
The bible gives NOOOOOOOOOOO precise date of his birth......just his death.
Dontcha think if God wanted us to know exact date of his birth he woulda provided that in his word?
We dont know how old EVE was when she died,but God let us know how old Adam was.
Many other examples too.Some prophets didnt understand what they were preaching cos the prophecies had later fulfillment after they had died.
The book of Daniel is a good example of that.He didnt have a clue what he was writing down cos fulfillment came long after he was gone.He even mentions that he didnt know.
The bible says the earth is round and hung upon nothing in Old testament.
Proof came in 20th century when man was able to explore space and backed up what God had already said.Think about it.Those that didnt read or understand bible,some thought the earth was flat.Isaiah 40:22 spoke it was round and hung upon nothing.
