There are some inconsistencies as to when exactly Jesus born. The year was set to 0 then, but later it was found out that an error was made in the calculation by a few years. So they made the adjustment so not a lot of other dates needed to be changed.

Hot Turkey has the right answer, though I believe they were out by four years. Biblical chronology is exceptionally difficult owing to the absence of reliable primary records. For those who think he must have been born in year 0 because BC means "Before Christ", do you think people were sitting around thinking the date was 25BC, waiting for him to be born? The common calendar was introduced long after Christ's birth, based on the best calculations they could manage. Get some education.

We do not really know the exact date of Jesus birth, and educated guess work is as good as it gets, the change from the roman calender to the calender of Julius,has moved the supposed birthdate of Christ by several days.

Bunch of monks sat down in about the 4th century and revised the calendar based on their calculation of Jesus' birth. That gave us 0 A.D. Nowadays we think the monks were off by about 6 years but don't we want to have to change the calendar again.

I think rather 3 BC, we lost 3 years because of the Romans, its actualy very interesting to research this subject, about the 0 th year etc.

It was actually Aug. 21 , 7 BC. The discrepancy is due to calender changes and inaccuracies . See Urantia Book

Was he?
I wouldn't know.
But then I don't claim to know anything solid nor factual about the guy.... since the primary source is notoriously unreliable and inconsistant.....
I do know though that most of the dates and whatnot that seem based on him were Roman fabrications....

Why is it that you were born in whichever year you were born?
No one can be for sure when He was born!
