With concocted batshittery and lies, of course.
Umm.... you just described every aspect of every religion.. my question was specifically about the discrepancy between the dates, one moves about and one doesn't..... but I guess doing that answers not just my question but every question asked.
The date for Christ's birth was set on a solar calendar and as ones birthday goes they are all set on a certain date. With Christ death and resurrection they were set on days of the week, so it's natural for them to move around the calendar whether it's a lunar calendar or a solar calendar. The time of year of Christ's resurrection was Passover which is set by the phase of the moon on a lunar calendar and the moon phase always moves around on a calendar, this too is a natural occurrence.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
