Why does everyone say that ignorant phrase, "There were no Christians when Christ was born." ... WELL DUH! Christian means Christ-like. How can you be Christ-like before there was Christ? Also, Jews were the followers of Christ, there is no distinction. Some Jews didn't believe in Christ, just like it was prophesied, and they quickly became the minority. We should be called Judaists, and they should be called Abrahamians.
And it's simply a word that the first followers of Christ gave themselves in the city of Antioch so they could identify themselves from the Jews that did not believe in their own prophecies.
I got March because in the first chapter of Luke it says the angel Gabriel visted Mary in the sixth month. So I just counted 9 up and got 3, which is March. That could mean six months from harvests, winter, or any time of the year, and she probably didn't conceive on that very night, but who knows. But it probably wasn't December 25th, and was most definitely in the warmer months of the year if you read the Bible.
