No, I haven't, but I've got the Interwebz and I can and did look up the temperatures. It may swing colder at night, but it isn't blizzards and the killing of all grass.

Afganistan is not in the Middle East and has a completely different geography and climate and is irrelevant to that of Israel.

The word "ama" in the Philippine language means "father". When capitalized, that is, "Ama", it refers to "God the Father". We call Him Ama and He calls us His children.

I first heard Him in 1983 when I first went to the Session Hall. I doubted that He is Jesus Christ for eleven years (1983-1994). You may read my aboutface in 1994 in http://aristean.org/wp113.htm titled "From doubt to belief". He said that Jesus Christ was born on 05-23 and died on 08-17.

In 1999, five years after I believed, I doubted Him again. I said to myself that if His revelations of the birth and crucifixion of Jesus were wrong, I would renounce my belief and declare Him to be fraud. By 2006, after extensive studies, I have proved that both of them are correct. That is why, as 2 Corinthians 4:13 states, "I believed, and therefore have I spoken".

Well, allrighty then. Did you want to clarify that statement, or do you think it's just so cool when pinacled makes random pseudo-cryptic remarks that you thought you'd do it too?

I hope not, because this forum is pretty well stocked up on crazy already.

Sheep + herd and lose an e) to be out with their flocks.

Israel is not in a northern climate. Temps in December would only be in the 40s. There's still grass in the 40s. People who live outdoors can be comfortable in the 40s.

Nobody knows, and it doesn't matter.
We do know though. It was in September on 9/11 or 9/12 of 3BC depending on the accuracy of my astronomy software.

Hi Crucifixion was in complete accord with the old testament prophecies . One good clue of this is that the feast of firstfruits was the day He was resurrected on. This would be in the spring not the fall or late summer.

Have you ever been to an arid desert climate. The geography is very different than what you are probably used to.
Temperature drops are extreme in the evenings. Especially in the winter months. And there is little to no vegetation growing during these months.
Fact is, during the winter months shepherds are not pasturing the flocks.
