You might also share with us if you are of the Muslim faith your faiths belief in Jesus sitting on the right hand of God at the time of the Judgement of the world.
We do not know factually the actual date when Christ was born of Mary. We do know various benchmarks such as the comment found in my King James version of our Holy Bible:
St. Luke, Chapter 2, verses 1-7: "1. And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world whould be taxed. 2. And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria. 3. And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. 4. And Josephy also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; because he was of the house and lineage of David. 5. To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. 6. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. 7. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn."
Your reference to the death, burial, and rescurrection of Christ. We have benchmarks of the traditional Jewish Passover which became to us Christians the Lord's Last Supper or in a church setting the basis for our communion of wine and bread. Thus if you would look to the time which passes after the Passover, which was an annual event, you can ball park the era or time approximately of when Jesus was taken before Pilot and Herrod.

Peaceful, informational, non-antagonistic mutually respectful comments on the occasion of Christmas, just as our Muslim brothers and sisters celebrate Eid (we called it Big Eid vs. Little Eid in my days working at the US Embassy in Karachi) are to me healthy and should contribute to better mutual understanding of what we believe in common vs. the radical, terrorist rantings of what they self-interpret as who is right and who is wrong. That sort of discussion is pointless and has led the world into the current war on terrorism which has done huge harm worldwide due to abuse and misuse of "religion."
A key parable which Jesus gave me from our Holy Bible is: "Judge not that ye be not judged."
Thanks and Merry Christmas.

Al-Maeda
Strongest among men in enmity to the Believers wilt thou find the Jews and Pagans; and nearest among them in love to the Believers wilt thou find those who say: "We are Christians:" because amongst these are men devoted to learning and men who have renounced the world, and they are not arrogant. (82)
We consider the Christians to be closest to us. My question was for information only. If I have hurt anyones feelings I am sorry it was not intended.
Merry Christmas.
Your youth allows you time to study comparative religions and know what the Holy Bible teaches us Christians.
If we get into talking about differences among faiths as to who was Jesus and who was Muhammad, then positive efforts at working with what we share in common are lost and the door opens for radicals to harp on bloody themes.
Respect between and among religious faiths is sorely needed.
Mass education to read, write, and do simple math, building thereupon a higher education level and a higher standard of living can and should be encouraged by moderate religions, Christianity, Judiasm, and Islam, as well as other faiths, Hinduism, Bhuddism, and others.
We Protestants broke away from the Roman Catholic Church in Europe proper over theological differences. The Church of England under Henry the VIII broke away, initially, over the issue of divorce.
Men and women today should be free to chose their religion, and in some cases, if they are educationally unable to read, write or reason, or if they are highly educated and are cynical about any or all faiths, they should be free to have their private views or if you will "non-faith."
But even Einsteain, who proclaimed himself an agnostic, not an athiest, stated that he nor anyone else, in his view, could justify being an agnostic as we all "had to come from somewhere" ultimately.
My Holy Bible teaches and beseaches us to "Pray without ceasing" which in the Muslim faith is epitomized by prayer several times daily.
These are deep topics about and among our faiths but viewed in context of the miraculous life of Jesus sent as the Son of God as the atonement on the cross for the sins of all mankind I am secure in my Christian faith but do not slam others faiths at the same time.
Digressing to the views of those I choose to term heretics to all mainline faiths is part of a history of mankind dialogue but not a part of what I believe about God and what Jews and Muslims believe about the same God.
I, personally, draw a sharp line between religion and civil government using Christ's motto in our Holy Bible: "Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's and unto God that which is God's." This referred to taxes to be paid to the civil authorities and the tithe owed to the church to support it's religious mission and purposes.
Again Merry Christmas this Advent Season to one and all.
Maybe an overview of Advent would now be a good topic to explore?
The problem emerges when you combine ancient pagan gods together and the stories all intertwine. The winter solstice birth and celebration, the virgin birth, the mother named Mary, the crucification, and the resurrection. I think most stories are similar to the Egyptian Horus' stories.
Jesus is referred to by God, as "Ruhollah" or "The Spirit of God".
