(Sorry about the double post above)

I'm talking about Jesus' human birth. I am a strong Catholic and by no means have I misunderstood the existence of God. I'm talking about Jesus existing on earth as a human. Oh and by the way, I know he was 100% man and 100% God so don't throw that at me, either.

Answer 1

God has to time LIMIT the way people do. He doens't check His watch to say 'ok, it's time to go to work'. Time has always been just as God has always been.
Jesus is God, always has been God and always will be God.
So either way you look at it, the answer is yes.
Time was before and after.

Answer 2

The exact day of Jesus' birth is difficult to establish beyond all doubt. The fact of Jesus' birth, the place, the nature, and the purpose are clearly taught in the scriptures (Matt. 1; 2). However, God did not see fit to explicitly reveal the date. We do know that Jesus was born during the reign of Herod the King (Matt. 2: 1). History informs us that this Herod died in 4 B. C. Hence, Jesus would have been born no later than 4 B. C. We also learn from the Bible that a census was being taken at the time of Jesus' birth, in fact, Joseph and Mary were at Bethlehem to enroll when Jesus was born (Lk. 2: 1-7). Quirinius, the Governor of Syria, conducted this census. Based on the believed date of this census, some place Jesus' birth at 6 B. C. Some scholars believe Jesus was born in 5 B. C. In the center column reference of some versions of the King James Translation, we read regarding the time of Matthew 2, "The fourth year before the common account called Anno Domini (A. D., dm)."

Answer 3

Best way to describe the era is B.C.E ( before the common era) C.E ( common era) This relates to the years before Jesus birth and after his birth. As regards what A.D. means......It means an no Domini which notes the time period of Christianity. For further research Using this method will help you to understand the prophecy in the book of Daniel. It explains the march of the world powers that lead to the end of the Gentile ruler ship. God stated that He would bring a Government that would never be brought to ruin at Daniel 2:44. That's why we can be confident that we are about to see the Battle of Armageddon soon. Gods war against the Devil and all his dupes...

Answer 4

Time is an illusion and it didn't "start", we created it when we came up with the idea of hours, minutes, months, years, etc. We decided that one orbit of the earth around the sun was a period of "time" and we called that period of "time" a year. In fact it is movement we are measuring when we say one year has passed, not "time".
As far as the calender we currently use, "BC" refers to the period before the "birth" of a mythological being commonly known as Christ.
A question about time should probably go in the science category but this is not really a question about time but instead is a question about the calender, which is not time.

Answer 5

Time is a relative concept so how would one measure when it started. If time starts at Point A, what happened before Point A? What was that period called or classified as?
Having said that, BC and AD refer not to the start of time, but to the beginning of the Christian Era, which began (of course) with the supposed birth of Christ. It is a reference point but by no means shoould you believe that time, civilization, or history started then.

Answer 6

Time started when God created it. We don't know exactly when that was. The Gregorian calender starts with the birth of Jesus- but Gregory made a 4-6 year error on it.

Answer 7

Time itself wasn't born then, just the way we marked it did. BC stands for before Christ, AD for a lating phrase meaning year of our lord. People often remember it as: After Death.

Answer 8

BC= Before Christ
AD= After Death Go to elementary school or the library or online encyclopedia

Answer 9

AD doesnt mean after death like some people like to think. modern time actually started at the birth of jesus and AD is an abbreviation for anno domini. which is latin for "in the year of our lord"

Answer 10

Well time started when God created the Earth, but the seperations from A.D and B.C started a few years after His birth I believe
