B.C. A.D. If Jesus lived to 33 or so than what were the years that he was alive called?

Question

For example 1 B.C than turns into 1 A.D. What about the years that he lived. What are they called?

A.D is known as after death.

A.D is known as after death.

Answer 1

A.D. means Anno Domino, or in the year of our Lord, not after his death, they were supposedly the years after Jesus' birth.

Answer 2

A.D. doesn't stand for "After Death," it stands for "Anno Domini," or "Year of Our Lord." So if the calendar were right, it would mean he lived from 1 A.D. to 33 A.D. Unfortunately, the man who designed the calendar used the wrong dates, and didn't take into account a 0 year, so Jesus was probably really born between 6 B.C. and 3 B.C. And he was 33 when he died.

Answer 3

You might want to keep persisting with your version of the acronym AD, but the rest of the world knows it to be Anno Domini. The Anno Domini system was developed by a monk named Dionysius Exiguus (born in Scythia Minor) in Rome in 525, as an outcome of his work on calculating the date of Easter. I doubt very much that the monk was conversant with English words like after and death :).

The period that Jesus was alive is debated. Dionysius had calculated the birth of Christ to be December 25, AD 1, the Annunciation, March 25, AD 1. Thus, in the 6th century, the "AD" era began with March being the first month, and with the Annunciation, not Christ's birth. According to this dating, Christ was crucified in AD 33.

It is now generally believed that Jesus was born in 4 BC, approximately.

Answer 4

sndsouza has the best and the correct answer. I would like to add that the phrase Anno Domini is Latin. The calendar that we use is called the Gregorian Calendar because it was established during the reign of a Pope Gregory. He is also the Pope after which Gregorian chants are named.

The terms C.E and B.C.E. meaning Common Era and Before the Common Era are bows to political correctness. They take Jesus out of the equation in order to accommodate non-Christians. This doesn't change the time line just the nomenclature.

Answer 5

AD = Anno Domine (year of our lord)
BC = Before Christ

So it's 1-33 AD.
The Romans did not number their years but named them.
"The dominant method that the Romans used to identify a year for dating purposes was to name it after the two consuls who took office in it. Since 153 BC, they had taken office on 1 January, and Julius Caesar did not change the beginning of the year. Thus this consular year was an eponymous or named year. Roman years were named this way until the last consul was appointed in 541. Only rarely did the Romans number the year from the founding of the city (of Rome), ab urbe condita (AUC). This method was used by Roman historians to determine the number of years from one event to another, not to date a year. "

Answer 6

in the 3rd or 4th century, the romans adopted the B.C. because they believe Jesus was born in the year 0 or Anno Domini (year of the Lord. meant for the caesar since romans werent christians back then. some sources claim that He was actually born in 4 B.C.

Answer 7

"ad" would not advise "After lack of life." It comes from Latin, "Anno Domini," meaning "in the year of Our Lord," and starts on the year of Christ's start. So the 33 years Christ lived were a million ad to 33 ad. P.S. technically the date replaced into off with the help of about 3 years (some believe Christ replaced into born in 3 BC), yet that's not extremely significant to the courting equipment itself.

Answer 8

To clarify one of the answers already given:

AD does not stand for "After Death". It stands for "Anno Domini", meaning "In the year of the Lord". Before Christ's birth is BC, after His birth (including the years He was alive) is AD.

Answer 9

They are generally referred to as A.D.; that is the 7th year he was alive was 7 A.D., etc.

Answer 10

He was 36 years old.
He was born in 3 BCE and died in 33 AD
BCE is known as Before Common Era (another way of saying BC)
